for did i do the master plan, confusing part rebel architecture on al jazeera the countdown clock on douglas pony smokes the final days, hours, minutes, and seconds until cattle. 2022 kicks off. for the 1st time, the competition is being held in the middle east and they'll be plenty of other for the 1st will come to be played in november. december, female referees in the men's tournament ended ambition to make this the most sustainable tournament of old time, pound down to bags like they want to happening labor day hot. the excitement to building for fans in the 32 nations who qualified and perhaps even more so in the high city ah,

ukraine's president thomas's victory as he visits one of the cities re taken from russian forces in the latest counter offensive. ah, no, you're watching al jazeera live from doha with nice. will that to bore also coming up, hold up in lebanon, frustrated customers to a banking boot at guns to demand their savings. france gather in london, to say good bye to queen elizabeth. her coffin will be moved to the palace of westminster, where she lie in states and anger in haiti after the government raised fuel prices, again, despite high and employment and inflation.

thank you very much for joining as ukraine's president has visited one of the regents. his troops have recaptured from washing forces. but it means lensky says more than 8000 square kilometers of territory, has now been retaken or ukrainian forces pushing back in a counter offensive. that's gained momentum in the northeast. ukraine says it recaptured more than 300 settlements in the khaki region in the past week. it's calling on the west to speed up weapons deliveries to back its advance. ukrainian slides are flying in the cities of ease yield and co piano, both on railway lines that service supply roads for russian troops. ukraine says it's also made gains, nas south nickerson, but at a fellow pace as bring in al jazeera hold abdul hamid, who's in key for his so to tell us about the significance of these latest ukrainian victories is certainly the most significant. a wind folder, ukrainian since discount to offensive,

and by the same breath is also the most significant loss for de rushes. now as you said, is you a's was like a logistical hub. some would describe it as a stronghold of the russians in this part of the country. it has this main, the railway hub at a highway. it also hub. and it's from there that russia was really a, supplying their troops who are further east in the dumbass region. and then northern part of them been around places like from a tourist as of young. so definitely a huge a blow for the russians. and i think also the picture of president vladimir zalinski who is there at the moment we might have gone already since the picture now is all over social media. as certainly is something that's going to be very well received by ukraine is already a very proud and felt that they had finally

a momentum since the beginning of this war. and appro, probably the power of that a picture is showing that ukraine is actually in control of a zoom at the moment. how to, how come the russians are not putting up a fight well, we travelled yesterday to a place called bella clia. and i think what we witnessed would probably give us a bit of an inkling and what we heard more than anything else is it's really a large areas, rural areas, village after village where you see that there was a fighting days, destruction houses bombed out. schools bombed down bridges destroyed by the same breath. you also see a lot of military hardware left by the russians and a lot of people we spoke there to their said to us that they were few a russian as soldiers in that part of the country that they were

a lot of them were also members of forces of one of the 2 central bay republics, the republic of new guns, and that they were white, isolated and demoralizing, said that they were treating a badly people, they were storming into their houses to get food a. so you deep get a feeling really that though that may be, that was the weakest link in russia's presence here. and that could have been because maybe the ukrainian trick them and gazillion cleaners had be talking all over the summer about a counter offensive in the south of the country. and the other area occupied by russia defend san region could have been a diversion. a could have been that the russians have moved their troops out of this part of the country to, to sort of reinforce the south of the country and then do ukrainian really attacked in their weakest defenses. what are thanking for that update al jazeera, how dr. hamid reporting there from khaki eve in northeast and ukraine. a now the

news new fighting has broken out between armenia and as a by john. that's according to arminius, defense, ministry, gun battles, and shelling was reported along the border early on t c. at least a 100 soldiers were killed. it was a worse violin since a war 2 years ago killed 6500 people. in yerevan family members of wounded soldiers gathered outside a hospital. i was entering my time in the morning, we found out that my brother was wounded. he was 1st in scenic province and then transferred here. now we're trying to find out how he is on the market value. of course, the new war was to be expected. seeing the accumulation of the azerbaijani military at the border and the past 4 years has shown that the capabilities and the potential of the current government is none enough to take on today's challenges to lebanon. now where an armed woman and a group of activists have stormed a bank in bay road in a desperate attempt to access their savings,

lebanon's banks have imposed tricks, limits on withdrawal to pushing many people into poverty. as bringing al jazeera in a hoarder hose in beirut with the later xena. so another hold up in beirut. there was one just a few weeks ago. tell us about what happened today. in fact, in the last hour or so, there was yet another incident. so to such incidents, to day, the 3rd in the past months, you mentioned a female deposit or she stormed the bank behind me with a group of activists holding a weapon. they poured gasoline. they threatened to set the bank branch on fire if they do not to get access to their savings, their money, the lebanese, their money has been trapped and bank since late 2019, when the informal capital controls were imposed. and every time you want to withdraw money, you would draw it at a rate much lower than the market than the market value. i'll just give you one

example. if you want to withdraw $700.00, they give you $200.00. so that's a de facto haircut. so people feel that depositors feel that they have been paying the price before this financial crisis. not the banks, not the state. so now they believe that they want to take a take their, their rights. 1 by force, especially since this woman's sister is in hospital suffering from cancer. so she said she needed her money in order to pay for the hospital bill for her sister. yeah. and this is their money, right. this is what's so astonishing about this. it's their money in their bank account. how have people in lebanon been affected by this economic crisis on, on a daily basis. this is really a deep economic crisis. it's now when it's 3rd year. politicians are not doing anything about it. actually, in fact, parliament was supposed to meet today to discuss the budget, the state budget for this year. but there was no corum and the parliament is also

expected to enact a number of reforms. financial reforms in order to be eligible for an eye on the bailout package. this country isn't shortage of dollars. the local currency has depreciated lost more than 90 percent of its value. so people's money really has become worthless and that's why they need to access their savings. at the same time, the government is nearly bankrupt, it's unable to provide basic services like electricity, water, and health care. and this is why she, she really stormed the bank this morning. demanding her money, she walked away with $13000.00. and then the 2nd incident, the deposits are walked away with $30000.00 and previous cases. they were not detained for long. but maybe authorities might impose strength or measures simply because the depositors association is now warning that there will be more incidents like this to come. thank you. xena xena. hodge. i live in beirut. blue.

the coffin of queen elizabeth. the 2nd is now at buckingham palace in london. in the coming hours. it will be moved to westminster hole, where it will lie in state for 4 days. the king and other royals will walk behind the queen's coffin as fond of the procession, and leave buckingham palace and travel down the mall and make their way down. horse guards for rate, past white whole palace before arriving at westminster hall. diplomatic editor jane space has more from westminster, its being timed to the minutes, in fact, as they walk from bunkering palace following the coffin, which will be on a horse drawn gun carriage members. they are, all family will walk all the way along the route and it's going to take some 38 minutes. we believe to take the queen's coffin here to westminster, the palace of westminster and westminster hall, the oldest part of this palace, and then it will be price inside the westminster hall. as i say,

this oldest part of the palace of westminster dates back the 900 years till the end of the reign of william the conqueror. it was the beginning of it was built by his son, william rufus, and this has gone on literally for centuries. this, this procession at the end of a monex life. and later today, once the queen's coffin is inside, the whole members of the public will be able to come along this road. this already people coming to do it. remember also those in the royal family because they all going to be following the coffin on, on that gun carriage for 38 minutes slowly marching behind the coffin, and i'm short for some of them. this is going to be a difficult time. remember, for example, the new prince of wales, prince william and his brother, prince harry, and remember those pictures when, when their mother, diana died. such a shock for this nation, unlike the queen who died to the age of 96, she died tragically in a car accident. the age of 36,

something no one was expecting. and those 2 young princes again walked behind the coffin. i'm sure they'll be remembering that moment today people will be able to visit the queen's coffin at any time during the day or night until a funeral. on monday, the fowls have already been queuing up to enter western in the whole many camped outside, alongside the river, thames overnight to secure their spot. that's bringing the dean barbara, who's been among some of the people queuing that. what is the mood like that in some people have been q and since monday? that's rightfully we are on the south bank of the river thames right opposite the houses of parliament where westminster holies where the allying in state will actually happen. and this is a 5 mile official route for people killing the front. is that the bridge you might be able to see behind me, lambert bridge. and that's where the people started arriving on monday. so they

would have spent 2 nights you already will last night. it did rain so the people near the front did get right done. luckily not everyone did people where i am hoping, arriving from the early hours of wednesday. now they're going by being told that they will be allowed over the bridge and walking towards westminster in the next few hours and at 5 pm local time. that's when westminster hole will open up for the public to be able to view queen elizabeth's coffin. now people have come from other countries of course, but also from different parts of the u. k. and i'm joined now by somebody who's traveled from the south west of england, the southern coast in fights. can you just tell us bit lower you you've come from the south coast. how is the journey and how is it actually when you arrived here, what the journey was? fine, the train didn't look like there was anyone else and just look like commuters. and then when we got here, we go off the train at waterloo, and it was pretty empty. ready? the walk up here. we are pleased to me and you know where the q they still point to

the direction. and as we came along, we just kept walking and walking, and we were thinking in, in the wrong place, because the queue is probably about 500 long people have been warned to that. it could be actually white up to 30 hours. you don't see it or not, not really think from where we are in the queue. we're literally right in the front . i mean, my response number is 613, i think. so. i think hopefully will be in the and in bicycle 910 and hoping just to explain why you felt you needed to be here. well, i just really felt the need to come are having the queen is special to everyone i think even if you don't realize at the time when you live in your day to day life, when she died and everyone just stopped and couldn't take him. and i was always planning on coming up for some part of it. i never knew what that would be. and then when the line and my mom and my auntie said come in,

i said yet we'll go and we just made, didn't she didn't, which day should we come? what show? and then we thought when they probably will be the best day, purely because we think ever might be killing see the procession. maybe the key won't be too long. and we were expecting like a long delayed, but were pleasantly surprised. is not as bad as we saw. you have any particular memories of the queen? well, i think just memories of seeing like on the in buck and palace like wave and the crowd just generally talking to people and shaking people have events and things. no personal memories, i've never met her. so in a way to come to see the coffee and really seeing someone at the end of their life when you've not had anything to do with them during that like well, they should just been part of everybody's life. and i day to day, well, thank you very much for your time. and as we were saying the, the public will be lecturing in the next few hours into westman,

the whole that being warned that there will be airport style security. so possible delays. but for now, the weather's holding out, and the queue is getting bigger. the authorities have been talking about up to a 1000000 people arriving on the streets of london between now and next monday when the state funeral will be held. but at the moment there is plenty of good spirits. there are volunteers from st. john's ambulance and faith, the leaders and so on. own hands to make sure that everybody is ok. lots of people just chatting to the people that their next to sharing stories sharing what they remember and what they feel about the queen's rice and looking forward to getting into westminster hall of course. right. and i hope you've got your camping again, because we're expecting you to stay here until at least monday had involve a lie for his fin, london there. thank you very much. and will have extended live coverage of the procession from buckingham palace to westminster,

from $1300.00 gmc here on august 0. and still ahead on the program, us talks take a hit, suffering the biggest drop in 2 years, why inflation eases lightly. and chinese president sheeting thing is in catholic sign on his 1st trip abroad since the pan demik. we look at why the region is important to the g. i. the journey has begun the, the for world copies on its way to the castle. group your travel package today. shanghai, you're in the thick of stormy weather, wednesday right through into thursday. but as thursday progresses throughout the day you'll see an improvement in those conditions. this storm is quick moving and it will weaken considerably once it passes over land. but latest update, the past update we had was equivalent to a category to storm. so we take a look at the 3 day forecasts in shanghai. i think maybe even will squeeze out some

one of the cities we take in from russian troops. dimansky says his troops have re taken more than 8000 square kilometers of territory. they're pushing back against russian forces mc counter offensive. that's gained momentum in the northeast. in lebanon, unharmed, woman and a group of activists have stormed a bank in the road in a desperate attempt to access their savings. lebanon's banks have imposed tricks, limits on withdrawals on foreign currency, which has pushed many into poverty. and people in london who want to pay respects to queen elizabeth the 2nd have camped out overnight by the river tens. her body will be moved to westminster hole later on wednesday where it will lie in state until her funeral on monday. in other news to palestinian men have been shot dead near the alger lama checkpoint just north of janine in the occupied. westbank is really army says the pair ambushed soldiers. one of the victims reportedly works for the palestinian authority security services. the palestinian health ministry says israeli forces have killed more than 90 palestinians in the occupied westbank

so far this year. while 18 israelis including soldiers were killed in attacks carried out by palestinians. israel is also holding more than $600.00 palestinians without charge or trial in what's known as administrative detention need. abraham has more from ramallah. we know that the 2 palestinians who are cousins approached these really military checkpoint of angela me. and then they were shot at by israeli forces, then they returned to fire and that later they were killed according to palestinian sources of a we believe that they were cousins and we do not expect a funeral to happen and jeanine because this is a practice usually by israel that it does not deliver the bodies of palestinians is deemed suspects of committing attacks against its soldiers and as citizens to palestinians for burial. but we also know from these really military that,

that is ready, soldier was killed. we expect the houses of the families of the 2 men to be demolished. they've been more violent protests in haiti after the prime minister announced an increase in fuel prices. people are demanding cheaper, essential, safest streets, and the resignation of iron. all he, rob reynolds reports, protest turned deadly on tuesday in haiti's capital. puerto prince, as crouch, took to the streets, outraged, over rising crime, shoring inflation and a government height in the price of fuel. several people were reported dead by haitian journalists after clashes with police. people threw stones and burning barricades were set up on the city streets. the outbreak of violence came after a prime minister arial, on re announced that a severe scarcity of all types of fuel with forced the government to raise prices.

that would be yet another blow to millions of haitians struggling to eat got a living day by day on re, as called for calm and international help in fighting gang violence, ruinous, but i done. we have to solve the violence, but many environments is not going to get us anywhere. martin, i appeal to all people to stay calm. by to the appeal had little effect. haitians are living in a country largely without a functioning government were violent, criminal gangs control much of the territory. those gangs have made daily life extremely difficult. with robbery, extortion and brazen daylight kidnappings for ransom, the groups have grown more powerful since the assassination of president jogan l. moiz a. more than a year ago. on sunday journalists, tayshawn lots gay and france and charl were killed while covering a battle between rival gangs in the notorious slum called city. so lay the haitian journalist association called the killings. further proof of the inability of the

state to protect lives and property, rob reynolds al jazeera and the united states is still struggling to deal with inflation. the prices of can many consumer goods rose by more than 8 percent last month compared to the same time. last year, this sent stock stumbling in the biggest shop in more than 2 years. heidi joe castro has more. most goods and services in the us are still more expensive than ever. the consumer price index a key inflation indicator showed inflation is still close to a 40 year high instead of cooling off as many had expected. while gas prices are down, most other essentials are up, like rent on a certain 20 percent retakes of m. $600.00 to a 100 is $200.00. that's a big, big rise and medical expenses went to the dentist above a couple of months ago. and to a struct though, something is like

a 150 before used to be only 5055, maybe 70, the most wall street bumped at the inflation news. the dow jones industrial average plummeted more than 1200 points. falling nearly 4 percent. it was the worst day for american investors since june 2020 was clear from corps inflation readings and some internals that we look at that we still have a broadening inflation problem. it's seeping into more. ready parts of the economy, the us president joe biden said unemployment remain low, and the stock market doesn't necessarily reflect the state of the economy. he seemed unfazed during a white house event to celebrate the so called inflation reduction act. this bill cut cost families help reduce inflation at the kitchen table because that's where they look at. the bill passed a month ago. it aims to invest $375000000000.00 to fight climate change and helps

some $13000000.00 americans pay for health insurance. it does not, however, tackle widespread inflation according to economists. republicans oppose the law and blame inflation on biden's party. american people know who created this mess. they remember quite well how washington, refreshment, the spring of 2021, dining out on left spending and leaving taxpayers to pick up the bill. economist pin rising prices on the war and ukraine. supply issues linked to coven, and stimulus and disruptions in the labor market in it's meeting next week. the federal reserve is expected to announce another increase in interest rate and aggressive move aimed at bringing down inflation. but that's also feeds fears of a possible over correction that could trigger a recession. hydro castro al jazeera washington. the european union is

planning to dramatically change its electricity market to cope with the energy crisis false find the war in ukraine. european commission, president of love on delay and use her annual address to explain her energy plan. company profits will be kept and the revenue will be used to reduce the price of consumer power bills. we are proposing a cap on the revenues of companies that produce electricity at low cost. these companies are making revenues. they never accounted for. they never even dreamt of. and don't get me wrong in our social market economy. profit are ok, they are good. but in these times, it is wrong to receive extraordinary record revenues and profits benefiting from war and on the back of our consumers in these times,

profits must be shared and channeled to those who need it. most chinese president sheeting paying has arrived in catholic sand, capital northshore, tiny spot of a 3 day visit to central asia as his 1st trip is gone since the early days of the pandemic. she will later travel to becky's fond to attend to summit of the shanghai corporation organisation. and the market is a senior research fellow at the center for china and globalization. he explains why the region is important to beijing closet. is vitally important to china. so from a geopolitical perspective, look at this hartley and theory from heart for how for the kinder, that really the, your asian land mass, including africa, accounts most of the way on mass of the planets. most of the people, a lot of the economy. we also need to look at the role of conflict in china's bell to road initiative,

which was announced in the context on about 9 years ago as well. the original sort road was what linked china to many parts of the middle east and even western europe . but also today, one of the greatest challenges the china faces as well as many, many other countries around the world is energy security. as we've seen either due to a geopolitical events or weather events that reduce water for hydro power and cause it's still on, is the source, i believe more than 40 percent of uranium that's produced in the world in china plans on reducing its reliance with fossil fuels and it's one of the countries that recognizes count for nuclear power, it and of course supplying it, but it's also a win win for cause it's not as well. and this allows us to move up the new your fuel value chain as well. so again, i think there are deep structural and historic reasons for this relationship.

the president of egypt has met the mayor of katasha. i mean been hammered off fanny in doha, the 2 day visit by abd fatah. he sees his 1st trip to cotton since he took office in 2014. it comes after years of political differences between the 2 countries. stephanie decker has the details from door the meeting, taking place behind closed doors. the 1st ever visit by the egyptian president. i will put that l c c here to carter in his capacity as president meeting with the katara emir shape to mean been hammered. i'll find it here in the mary, dawn and dawn. it's a significant visit also because of a tumultuous pause between the 2 countries. egypt, of course being part of an air land and sea blockade, with saudi arabia and the united arab emirates, and behind from 2017 until january 2021. however, it is now moving forward the to con.
