10:03 am
as a conspiracy to demoralize our soldiers standing at the border. gabriel gavin is a freelance journalist covering the conflict between armenia and arthur by john. he has more on what's happening in the air, yvonne. well, i think these are some of the largest protests that yerevan has seen in recent years. and you've got lots of people coming out turning up to the parlor building and chance going out, calling for the prime minister nicole by finance resignation. but i think actually the number of people who have a solution, which is, you know, we need a different leader when you different government is actually very small. lots, lots of people that certainly the ones i spoke to. they didn't know what solution to this complex days. i mean, it has come under attack over the last few days, we've seen massive bombardments, huge evacuations of towns and cities along the border. and what people are really worried about as a repeats of the 2020 ball where armine was forced to basically give a whole lot of significant sway their, it's tarrot of territory was inside as

a beyond did nationally recognize borders. the war in ukraine now and a southern ukrainian city is at risk of flooding after russian forces hit a reservoir. nearby official say the water level on the river, running near the city of creevy, re rose about 2 and a half meters after the missile strike. some residents have been asked to evacuate their homes, that spring in algiers, gable is under who's in the credit capital key for is a gave. what more are you hearing about this dam that's been targeted? how significant difference, what we're hearing from the mayor of gravity, who's saying that about 100 homes there have been flooded. and that partial evacuations are taking place of some of that neighborhood of creativity. it does not appear to be catastrophic flooding. nevertheless, it is still causing serious problems because this dam was hit by
10:05 am
several russian missiles late wednesday evening and causing this into its river to overflow its banks and immediately start to flood. the town of creevy, emergency crews continue to work in the town to try to mitigate the damage there. but clearly this was a strike that it was clearly did cause a significant damage to the dam. but cruiser, also trying to repair that damage as quickly as possible to try to prevent any further infrastructure damage or damage to homes or property in the civilian areas there. that could be very, as a city of about 600000 people and it's about a 100 kilometers north of the southern front line of this war right now. it's unclear exactly why are the russians would want to target this up. but perhaps it's because could of 80 is a home town of presidents in baltimore, zalinski also a potentially could with the over flooding of the banks,
10:06 am
the river could help infringe upon a ukrainian supply routes to the southerner theater of this war. but we do know clearly that this was a clear attack on civilian infrastructure. are you even hearing from the british ambassador to ukraine that just tweeted a few minutes ago that this was a clear attack on civilian infrastructure. so it was seen that the russians gave our targeting ukrainian infrastructure in response to the ukranian counter offensive. what's the latest on that counter offensive? what's been happening on the battlefield? when the southern offense, if the ukrainians continue their methodical counter offensive in the far south in southern region, they are receiving, getting a lot of resistance from russians. it is not a fast or direct counter offensive. like what we saw in the northeast and how to keep what essentially the ukrainians are trying to do is in circle large battalions of russian troops and cut them off from their supply routes. but it is
10:07 am
fierce fighting in the south just over night. the ukrainians were able to shoot down at least one russian military plane and launched at least 13 strikes against russian military positions. but this is according to at least one ukrainian military official. i spoke to fairly recently. he said the counter offensive in the south could go on for weeks, perhaps even months. he said it is all dependent on one thing, and that is a military arms sophisticated weapons from the west. he said this, the more of that we get, he said, and the faster, the faster that is counter offensive can go on, but clearly, stiff, strong fighting by both sides in the south in this counter offensive have some not while thank you very much for that. gabriel elizondo reporting that my from ukraine's capital key. now, while russia has become increasingly isolated because of its invasion of ukraine,
10:08 am
president putin will be looking to strengthen ties with regional allies or a summit in those becky st on 8 leaders for attending the shanghai corporation organization meeting in summer. cons. 14 is expected to hold bilateral talks with china's president, she's paying on the sidelines that's bringing in resource. hey, donna, who is covering that summit for us in the respect city of summer con ray. so, so she's been, we'll be meeting with the russian needed for the 1st time since the war and ukraine began. what do we expect? what do you think is going to come out of those discussions? yeah, well the aspect in there did a meeting between shipping and pretend to, to take place early afternoon. so based on the information that you're getting from sources of ukraine is definitely going to overshadow, or the whole not only the whole summer, but also the meeting as well. so russia is asking or demand in china to fully
10:09 am
support this invasion in, in ukraine. but so far and china has refrained to widen or should, in a solid support. the said that yes, nato has provoked russia to do that. however, they don't see that as a ledge to myth act yet. so russia is very much keen to have a kind of greater support from a, from china in that regard. another issue that's going to be on the agenda today between the, during the meeting between these 2 leaders as did the gas, an oil. so russia while being that much isolated from the world and being the under the sanctions lab by be a did the western countries. so it is seeking to find the need revenues the needs sources, and it wants to increase the, the export of gas and oils more to, to china. and just regarding the fact that china is already number one purchaser of the russian energy, russia still wants to increase that as well in return. russia is asking
10:10 am
a full support of russia regard in regard in taiwan. and of course these are la, this is not going to be the only important meeting to date is going to take place in summer camp. there are several others meetings as well. one of them is the me thing. bit when the indian prime minister, not under moody, and the russian president, president putin. so india is going to look for a long term fertilizer agreement. and also it wants to increase the purchase of the russian oil as well. it is the 2nd largest or russian energy purchaser after india of china, and other in the put the meeting is going to also be between putin and president added on with turkey. they are going to discuss about the green deal that was signed in estoppel. so today, as i said, there will be several other important meetings as well. thank you for that and we'll keep an eye on what's happening there in some icon with you throughout the day on i'll just erase all said i thank you. in other words, use sweden by mr. has announce she will resign after suffering defeat to far right
10:11 am
blank in sunday's election with 99 percent of the votes, counted magdalena undecided. center lions has secured 173 seats in parliament, a social democrat parties. the country's largest with around 30 percent of the vote . but the moderates, sweden, democrats, christian democrats, and liberals that projected to win 176 seats in the 300 force. 19 parliament, sweden, democrats were formed from a neo nazi party and only entered parliament in 2010. they look set to win 20.6 percent of the vote vote, but moderate leaders off the market. leaders off christenson will try to form a government his right wing party, got 900 point one percent poll rece recourse from amo and sweden after less than a year in office. this was magdalena anderson's final press conference, sweden's 1st female prime minister, and offered a hug. but as it looks like the full right wing parties have received just 50 percent of the votes in the election, and in parliament, they have
10:12 am
a one or 2 sate advantage. it's a thin majority, but it is a majority. so tomorrow i will therefore ask them my dismissal as prime minister and the responsibility for the procedure going forward will now be with the speaker and the parliament again. the man waiting to take the mantle is the leader of the moderate party. oh, christa son being his central coalition winning a parliamentary majority. when the final votes from sundays, general election were counted on wednesday night. there for you meet period until with some law. my message is that i want to unite, not divide, look at what unites, but also respect, real differences of opinion. i want to instill hope. also big problems can be solved. we've solved big problems before. and if other countries can so can we? there's nothing so bad and sweden that it can't be fixed with all that is really good. i think the can. but kristin's party is no longer the biggest in his coalition. that place goes to the far right suite and democrats who took more than
10:13 am
20 percent of the vote for the 1st time. having been welcomed into the establishment by the moderates. they had perceived this process as maturing somewhat and like changing and how to some extent, the rhetoric basically the country has not been able ready to handle the influx of migration in a good way. there would be some changes in, for example, there will be further restriction of the migration policy, for example, suite and democrat lead me auctions, popularity has gone up, particularly among young people and women, and they sweden's rising, violent crime right and segregation. many sweets fear the influence of the far right and one's a hold on the countries welcoming inclusive values. it's a concern that makes the right wing coalition uneasy allies and of the new parliament's 1st meeting on september 27th. oh, christa says chances of becoming prime minister being complicated by the fact that some junior members of his coalition don't warm the sweet and democrats to have any
10:14 am
ministerial posts. but with the sweet and democrats being the biggest party in that coalition, there are some tough talks we have. in the next 2 weeks, poll reese, i'll just sarah mama and still head on al jazeera, the e commission propose as reforms to help tackle europe's energy crisis. or tell you the one thing that's not part of the plan. and argentina's inflation prices. these bench me ever having to say so the trash food despises, keep fine. ah old hurricanes, often you find them is time the year is come across the atlantic into europe. a full of moisture walks. the moisture is always clarity. that is the core of the old
10:15 am
harrigan. and of course the wolf shows itself not normally by high data touches, but high night times. oh yes. and they broke because these are the low temperatures last night in spain, in the cities that caused by day we won't see that record i told was the cloud and rain, the rental as heavy as it was because it hit pasco hard the last couple days. but it spreading, this is tuesday's forecast and through spain up towards the pyrenees. but north of that there's a line of quite intense range, slow moving stuff, from france through the nolan, out towards austria and beyond south it still wall. there's the temperature in the thirty's, in bucharest, and sofia in the central north. but that was like a cold wind and that aries cold temporarily. as it comes in behind the rain. it is broken the terror. all you see that we are from 20 to answer it down to only 8 degrees, one or 2 forecasts. actually sleet in this. that would be cold, but even if not, you'll fit it because that cold wind, the concentrated rain,
10:16 am
has moved sas by this time, and it's in slovenia, or the coast to croatia, or even northern italy. ah ah. in a blue
10:17 am
ah, you're watching al jazeera alive from doha. i remind her of our top stories. a russian lead security alliance is sending a fact finding mission to armenia on thursday year. yvonne has asked for military help in its greatest conflict with azerbaijan. more than a 150 soldiers have been killed on both sides since fighting began on monday. the southern ukrainian city of creevy is at risk of flooding after russian forces targeted a reservoir damn near by. some residents have been asked to evacuate their homes after the water level of the nearby rehab rugs. ah, a thousands of mourners have begun to file past the coffin of queen elizabeth the 2nd. she is lying in state at westminster hall for the next 4 days. a 5 kilometer long queue is stretching to london as morn as wait to pay their respects. al
10:18 am
jazeera harry far said joyce as now live from the south side of the river, thames among the queue of people waiting to view the queen's coughing. so how is it looking this morning? harry, how long is that here? well, yeah, i mean it's still, there is a live tracker from the government. at the moment it's saying it's just over 4 kilometers long, but it is moving pretty quickly. there is a pretty nice, quiet expect and frankly atmosphere. people are a chattering to security staff and each other and, and if you look back, you can see it does stretch all the way back along the south side of the river terms. it goes up towards westminster bridge. you might be able to see there in the background and then it skirts around into the city a bit more before stretching back. and so that q has been going on since or monday in very small numbers, but growing during the course of the week. and of course, since the whole itself was opened on tuesday afternoon,
10:19 am
as people have been slowing pretty quickly when we get to this point, i was talking to one of the security staff here. he says it's about an hour and 15 minutes still from here to cross the river, head back up north hoss the gobs, westminster, and, and into westminster, who are there is airport star security. so quite a lot of organization, obviously involved in all of this security guard also saying that there were people trying to jump over the or the sort of mall were on here and get into the queue during the course of summer of wednesday. that has now been largely stopped. we saw one person try to get get in without a wristband. he was gently, i should away. so generally a very friendly expect and quiet atmosphere hurry, thank you. hurry. thank you very much. i fossett live in london. thank you very much. the afghan taliban have
10:20 am
rejected a decision by the u. s. a. transfer 3500000000 dollars in from an assets to a space based trust fund. the taliban have demanded the assets be sent directly to the afghan central bank. around $9000000000.00 of ghana sans foreign currency were frozen after the taliban took over last year. the u. s. has faced criticism for holding back the funds as afghanistan faces widespread hunger and poverty. president, biting set of policy of enabling 3 point i've $1000000000.00 worth of atkins central bank reserves to be used for the benefit of the people of afghanistan. keeping them out of the hands of the tolliver with the afghan funds, the united states and our partners are following through with that amendment with a concrete step for ensuring that these additional resources will contribute to helping relieve hardship and suffering in afghanistan. in particular, we would like to thank the swiss government for the partnership to ensure this effort would be possible. this fund will protect and preserve the app can central
10:21 am
bank reserves while making targeted disbursements to help stabilize afghanistan's economy and ultimately support people and work to alleviate the worst effects of the mandatory crisis. my can i is following developments from washington d. c. when the bided administration froze, the money that was being held in the united states which belonged to the afghans central bank, the d. b a. that was just over $7000000000.00 in funds. now what happened is that 3 and a half 1000000000 of that was kept to deal with pending cases by victims of the 911 attacks. the other 3 and a half 1000000000 has now been allocated across to the swiss bank, which will be watched over as it were by us representative a couple of african representatives as well as a swiss banker. now the taliban have nothing to do with this amount. they have got no access to it whatsoever. the us being very careful to make clear that none of
10:22 am
these funds are going to go directly into afghanistan at this particular point, written into what the us is doing as well, is that it's a signal to the central african nissan bank, the b b a. that it has got to step up its game. it's got to demonstrate in coming months that it is independent from as a taliban, which claims to be the government of the country. so there is a possibility at some stage, a long way down the line that that money that is now in that swiss bank could go back to the d i, b to the central upcoming stand bank. but the way the money is going to be used, well, it's going to be a while before we see exactly how the u. s. has josh 3 iranian nationals with conducting ransomware attacks, targeting hundreds of entities around the world, local governments and utility companies, where among the victims in the u. s. b. indictment shows the attacks took place between october 2020 and august 2022. us official say the hackers carried out cyber
10:23 am
attacks for their personal gain and we're not under direction from the iranian government. article haine has moved from washington. the u. s. justice department has unsealed an indictment against 3 iranian men that they hughes of using cyber attacks at hundreds of computers, not just here in the united states, but in russia, israel, united kingdom. and even in a ran itself. they say the targets were local governments, utilities, non profits hospitals. but they say these men did is they say that they would get into the computer systems, encrypt the data, and then demand money for the datas release. they would send these rooms from those through the victim's own punters. the performance with demand payment from the coin from the victims, sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars. and they were threatened to keep the victims data locked up or similar to others if they're around. so demand's, we're not government official, say in some of the cases the targets did in fact pay the ransom. now the us
10:24 am
treasury department is also stepped into sanctioned the men and others they believed helped with the enterprise. although the government officials stress that they do not believe this was directed by the iranian government, still they offered a $10000000.00 award leading to the arrest. but the men are believe to be in iran, and even government officials say it's going to be very hard to ever find them in order to arrest them. i caught in volcano fossil has handed down suspended sentences for manslaughter to 2 managers of a mine in the west of the country. 8 people died in april when heavy rain started an underground passage where the group was working, glass minus bonnie was only recovered in late june. the accident happened at a mine owned by canada, as travelling mining in per co, west of the capital wagon to go have a european union say that will change its electricity market to cope with the energy crisis formed by the war in ukraine. european commission present love on delay and use her annual address to lay out her plan. dummy kane has more for weeks
