medics, he is a he is incredibly lucky. those coming as fast across the lines and no, no man's land where one of the few to gain access to this embattled town. they take us to their basement, where we find others sheltering from the shelling these evacuation. now by say, 3 days journey devastated buildings are now a grim reminder that the russians were here. i believe you like everywhere. connectivity is paramount. and yet for infrastructure and dependence on foreign corporations means to many remain offline. now, a politician and tech activists are building a home grown solution. connect clinic views and secure the nation's technological sovereignty. rebel geeks, the citizens network. on a job you ah,

the u. s. justice department charges and iranian man plotkin to kill former national security adviser. john bolton. ah, hello, i'm darren jordan. this is al jazeera ly from della also coming up, rushes accused of stealing electricity from ukraine by connecting a nuclear power plant to crimea. sierra leone imposes a nationwide curfew. often anti government protests, turn deadly and time to rebuild homeless families and garza piece their lives together. after the latest round that was right, he asked, right. ah, the u. s. justice department says it's charged amount. he describes as a member of iran's revolutionary god. it accuses him of involvement in a plot to murder, a senior adviser to the trumpet ministration. the target of the alleged

assassination was former national security adviser, john bolton, ram, kasai, is wanted by the f b i in connection with a case prosecutor say the scheme was probably metalli ation for the american strike . in january 2020, that killed the head of iran's elite could force cause some sort of money. we face a rising threat from authoritarian regimes to seek to reach beyond their own borders, to commit acts of repression, including inside the united states. this is an especially appalling example of the government of iran, perpetrating a grievous acts of transnational violence in violation of us laws and our national sovereignty. will iranian foreign ministry says the charges are baseless and politically motivated and accuses us of making allegations without providing evidence. my kind of has more from washington d. c. o. the justice department has outlined an elaborate and lengthy murder for hire plot which began some 18 months ago. when sharon puts up,

the allegedly contacted somebody within the united states and persuaded him to act as essentially a murder for hire promising some $300000.00. should he kill john bolton now unknown to put off? he was the fact that this individual was an f b i, informant. so he informed the authorities, the authorities were abreast of the plot as it developed now this another twist in it as well. it's been revealed to by the justice department that the also offered a $1000000.00 for a 2nd target. now sources close to mike on page 4, my direct the cia and former foreign secretary is saying that it was my palm pale. who was the 2nd target for which $1000000.00 was promise. so there's a lot of details that the justice department has provided. one must make clear though that sophie is still at large. he's still being hunted down though these

charges have been laid against. and so who exactly is john bolton? well, the 73 year old served as national security advisor and a former us president donald trump. bolton back to trump's decision to withdraw from the iran nuclear deal. the deal would have these sanctions against iran, if it curve its nuclear program. he pushed for a campaign of maximum pressure against us on rwanda government. but eventually fell out with the white house report suggested he was fired off to trump considered lifting some sanctions against iran. well, glen car is a former intelligence officer at the ca. he explained what may have motivated, motivated village plots. this would be was going to be the iranian, or one of the iranian responses to the american killing of the revolutionary guards . chief, so the money general. so the money, i think the iranians were pretty clear at the time that the americans skills. so the money that they would ever call their wording, retaliate or respond at

a time in place of method of their own choosing. so to kill the president would be or try would be a lot higher. ranked and dramatically more provocative than someone in the cabinet. and bolton was the security advisor, a known hawk on around very hostile to the iranian regime. as is my on peo who was secretary. ready of state or possibly directors, he was either both, i'm not sure which one of the time he was. and so that would seem to be reasonable commensurate ranking kind of response to get someone hostile to a ran who would have been involved in the operation to have sold him on a killed and to make a statement short of actually charge and present

the in ukraine their affairs over the fate of europe's biggest nuclear power plant, ukrainian officials say russia is preparing to connect the zachary's, a facility with crimea, which is a mixed in 2014. the plans come under attack several times over the past week. john henry reports from keith, ian petro coach and says ukraine separation, nuclear plant faces serious danger of radioactive meltdown. he says, he believes the russian military occupying the plant is shelling it to disconnect it from the ukrainian power grid and reconnect it to a power system in russian controlled crimea. taking all the power with it. they have already cut 3 of the 4 connections to the ukranian grid, he says, and if they sever the 4th, that poses a serious nuclear risk. is iris co losing the external

power through the plug. and it is dangerous because the vill burnwell blackout mold as of it was thornton diesel generator sung the if they stop zone. you will have like melton of a nuclear coral reactors. he's asking for the plant to be declared a demilitarized zone monitored by the international atomic energy agency, out of control of the russian army. the foreign ministers of the g 7 group of industrialized nations agree. they say it's russia's presence of that plant that endangering it. and they've issued a statement demanding that russia leave and turn over control to ukrainian authorities. the russians in turn blamed the ukrainians for putting the plant at risk by firing on the facility. britton's defense ministry predicts the invasion is about to enter a new phase with the heaviest, fighting shifting 350 kilometers to the frontline that stretches from separation to her son nearby in battle. scarred mc alive. residents have emerged from

unloaded in the german town of line bah, is from russia party to one of the last consignments to germany before the e. u. embargo took hold. until recently, much of the energy used in germany came from russian fossil fuels. but now it's coal is banned, its oil is soon to follow. and far less of its gas is being piped here than was planned. meaning across the country, much of industry is having to contemplate buying fossil fuels from elsewhere. i think there will be only a temporal return of the coal fired power plants to the market. so this is not, not a long term solution. this is the solution for the next 3, maybe 4 years, which is a significant contribution to solving the gas problem or the security of supply problem. but it has not done sustainable long term perspective. the difficulty for the german government is that many of its leaders has spent much of their political

lives looking to phase out fossil fuels. and yet they now find themselves having to buy them in on a short term basis. we have in v opinions. we see how dependent we are on energy imports from all over the world. and in this case, especially from russia, it's important to know that we and germany have technical abilities that are realistic and for his economically functioning jobs and economic value, which can help us free ourselves from this dependency and defend our own sovereignty. upping cuts were fine, but saying that and doing that are 2 different things. speakers, very many power stations and industries have based their plans on an uninterrupted delivery of coal. and more often gas, such as here, the hood as aluminium foundry ins. all towel where rising gas prices mean managers are having to change their working practices. i'm with isn't that. so anyway, i walked so far starting up a foundry. lucas hitting up the furnace is very energy intensive. so shutting it

down in the evening or overnight. and then heading it up again in the morning, is crazily expensive? that's why we now either run it around the clock in 3 ships or shut it off completely. the company that runs this power station decided to get out of a dependency on russian coal. soon after the war and ukraine began, that country took longer to follow suit, but has now done so, as it must be said, has the e u. but getting out of dependence on russian gas is proving much more difficult. dominant cane al jazeera berlin sierra leone has imposed a nation wide curfew in response to violent anti government protests that left several people dead, including members of the security forces. the demonstrations took place in the capitol, free town, and other cities over the rising cost of living. ali hush reports and gotten frustrations filled to the streets, protest as in free town and other civil union city's wanted their voices heard. we

never know exactly what was said inside, but if you're inclined to believe the former president, it could have been a very frustrating experience for investigators. and that's because earlier on wednesday, trump posted a message to social media saying that he planned to plead the 5th and would not answer any questions that could potentially implicate him. now this case by the new york attorney general, the tisha james, has been going on since 2019 she is investigating the trump organization business practices that potentially could have been fraudulent. she claims that he might have exaggerated the assets that he owns, the value of his golf course is in hotels, for example, in order to get a more favourable loan from different banks that would be fraudulent. trump denies any wrong doing and says this is simply a which on now where this case goes from here is anybody's guess. it's

a civil not criminal case. so lakeesha james and trump's lawyers could reach some sort of a settlement, but that potentially could be hundreds of millions of dollars. trump would have to pay, or the attorney general could decide to take this to a trial. it's important to point out that this case here is totally separate and has nothing to do with the f b i rate on trumps home in florida. earlier this week, inflation in the u. s. could be cooling the consumer price index climbed 8.5 percent in the year through july compared with 9 point one percent in june. hope will 3 finished stronger on the wednesday. there was some good news for consumers as well. the fuel prices. hm. there. as i've come down, the president biden says the data is encouraging receive some size, inflation may beginning to moderate. that's what happens when you build in economy

impact is already been felt by many here in the capital, docker covered van owner, muhammad shahan is worried about the future, but he doesn't know what he doesn't. uh, no one is renting our vans right now because they cost more. this is really hot on us, he can see all the drivers sitting idled. we can't figure out what the government is doing. sporadic protest are taking place nearly every day, but security forces are tracking down. this is the 2nd time the government has increased fuel prices in just about 9 months. the government has blame russia's war on ukraine for then praise our economic sub one. this would lead to higher inflation and forced payroll to cut down on their spending. the rise in food prices is becoming a concern for people with limited earnings. it'll tell them basil maldonado. katie quarter, prices for all food items have gone up since the hake in fuel prices, as everything is to be transported particular. but our income has not increased

accordingly. now, wonderful, i bought in transport cost. i've also gone up in recent days on a bus, i get, you know, the, the bus fe is considerably gone up and it's hard on us. but what can we do? we have to manage. hopefully the government will bring it under control soon. economists say the impact of more than 50 percent increase in full prices will affect the poor and fixed income people the most. this a fuel price is going to have an impact on various sections of the economy, at least at $2.00 levels. firstly, to high cost would cost. secondly, there would be increased cost of production and in the and these are going to having impact on the consumer, bangladesh, as economy has barely recovered from the pandemic, while thousands of families are now at risk of being poor again because of the sudden rise in expenses experts, one,
