ah, hello adrian. again, this is al jazeera alive from global holster coming up super typhoon auto slams into the philippines, bringing heavy rain of winds, approaching 200 kilometers an hour. a journey for a better life ends. intransitive lily, $100.00 of dead on to the boat from lebanon, sank of the syrian coast. and you crate and russia, blame each other for attacks on civilians in southern ukraine. ah, italians voting in election that could results in the country getting its 1st fall right leader. since world war 2 opinion polls suggest a right wing coalition will come to power lead by the brothers of italy, party 5 parties, chief, georgia, maloney, could become the country's 1st female lead up. her opponent say she wants to

distance italy from the european union. something that she's denied caretaker prime minister mario drop, he resigned off to his coalition collapsed in july triggering this election will results will be out later on sunday. but the leader of one white bring party says that he's ready to take the reins of government. a boy, the domain of it, i am looking forward to governing this extraordinary country from to morrow with a coherent compact and united center right. taylor place, it will be a complicated month. the electricity crisis, the bill crisis. the cost of living crisis heating is a 1st for us. we've already been working for weeks of the leagues technicians to be ready. let's go straight to stephanie decker, whose out of pulling station in rome. so stephanie opinion polls conducted before the selection suggested the country may well return a right wing coalition for that all depends on turn out to day. how enthusiastically of people there been voting

while there's been a steady stream of people, certainly where we are at 7 p. m here, the spot 4 hours to go until the poles close. italy opens its a voting loose until 11 pm from 7 o'clock in the morning. so it is a long voting day, and we've only had one official turn out figuring that was quite a while ago at mid day, which was 19 percent, which is pretty much the same as it was in the last time. it should be voted in 2018 voter turnout during those elections was around 73 percent. we're going to have to wait and see what the feeling is. here is certainly, you know, people we've been talking to a disposing station very strong opinions or whether they're voting for the right. wanting to change the country, saying that i, it really is wonderful that a swamp esther where it's gone in her eyes. and then the other side that's very concerned as to what it could mean if a right when government comes into place and yes or the unless we've been talking to because those polls were lost out 2 weeks ago, whether there has been changes,

some speculation that there's been some shifts here and there, but i think the general feeling remains is that you will probably see ga maloney and her white wing coalition come out with a very strong show of support. what stuff could this election mean for italy's relationship with you? well, you know, it has the europe is watching this closely. italy is strongly bondage to europe in the sense that, of course, it's part of the european union. but also there is a heavy aid package in play here over 200000000000 euros. that was negotiated by the previous prime minister, mighty baggy was very close to europe, very warm relations. this was certainly change if georgia bologna comes as next prime minister. her rhetoric has always been far more, let's say luke warm towards your missile. so changes politics do. first, she talked about exiting the eurozone quite some time ago. and then you know more

recently saying that no, of course they will not be exiting europe, but it is all about more independence of italy, more identity of italy. so in those terms, i think definitely you will see a shift. but certainly talking to many analysts. if you look at that aid package in the way the money is linked to italy and also you know, having to come with conditions. they will tell you that it's, it's still within a framework that's going to be very difficult for her to maneuver out of in a radical way. but i think of course, we'll see shifts if they do come into power. their policy is very different from the previous let, previous left when governments and but again, we're gonna have to wait and see exit polls expected in about 4 hours or so. from now and then we will get a good sense of why this country's heading. having settled that you're still not going to see the line up of the final government in place here for a good couple of weeks, but a lot of procedural back and forth. then you will have the president appointing, a prime minister at some point. so i think until sort of like mid october is where

you'll see the final shape of what this government is going to look like. al jazeera stephanie decker reporting live from rome. stuff, money, french, super typhoon not who has made land fall in the olden philippines. the storm strengthened so quickly that it led to an extreme emergency warning, but forced people to move to safety from several coastal villages in kay's own province. not who brought heavy rain and winds of up to 195 kilometers an hour. it's the strongest typhoon to hit the country this year. barnaby low reports. now from manila we are in an evacuation site in the philippines. haven't all. manila, manila is in the path of super typo normal, which made landfall in the philippines early afternoon on sunday. local time, now we're right here just a couple of hours ago and back then there weren't a lot of people. but now, well that this crowd look at this line of people are waiting to get into the

a terrifying past 12 hours. people have seen their homes washed away in the winds, rich schools, roofs off. but as canadian, as we always do in times of difficulty, we will be there for each other. about a 100 people were evacuated in halifax, the provincial capital, nearly 3 quarters of nova scotia was left without power. as crews raised to restore electricity and mist widespread reports of down trees and power lines. the mayor of halifax told al jazeera he had no doubt, climate change made the storm worse with the climate change in particular, and the volatility of weather these days. we've been getting more of these hurricanes. fiona's northward passed then took it through the newfoundland town of portal basks. a woman was rescued from the sea after her house collapse. according to police, widespread damage lead the mayor to declare a state of emergency. posting this video to facebook. actually, hi,

i'm going live here again and going to be pretty direct now with people. we're in the process here of calling a state of emergency. our tone is an all tents purposes. we are already in a state of emergency. no serious injuries or feet. holidays were reported in the hours after fiona came ashore. the authorities cautioned the danger is not yet over . fiona has weakened but may pick up energy again as it continues to move north. hydro castro al jazeera, a partial mobilization order announced by president vladimir putin continues to spark protests across russia. more than a 100 people blocked a highway entangled stand in the north caucuses. local media reported the police tried to break up the protest by firing warning shots in the air. at another demonstration,

those gathered shouted note of war and blamed the russian government for starting the conflict referendums being held for a 3rd day in 4 russian occupied areas of eastern ukraine. people in mario pole. in the dawn at screech and cast their ballots. the pole has been organized by moscow back separatists voting is also taking place in lou hands because apple regime and cast san kiva its western allies have dismissed the referendums as a sham been while fighting continues in the east of ukraine, where russia has kept up strikes against civilian infrastructure, the areas in red here are under washing separatist control. russian missiles hit buildings overnight, saturday, and forced to power substation to shut down in zappa zia ukraine says what it calls washing kamikaze drones damaged buildings in central odessa on sunday morning out as he was charles strafford reports now from the ukrainian capital. certainly according to the ukrainians, at least a lot of moving parts,

a lot of fighting along the front lines, both in the east and the south to day as these referendums continue in those occupied russian occupied areas. the craning authorities saying that there were at least $35.00, what they describe as settlements that were hit by russian missiles and artillery strikes over round about the last 24 hours. were also hearing reports from a russian authorities. they saying that the ukraine is they are accusing the ukrainians of heating a hotel in the occupied city of care of sawn. they're saying that at least 2 people were killed in that strike, including one former pro russian ukrainian law maker. as i say, all these reports very difficult, if not impossible, to verify both sides constantly saying that they are avoiding trying to hit certainly civilian targets. russia has re shuffled its military leadership, naming colonel general mikhail ms incentive. as deputy defense minister,

he'll be responsible for logistics. he's on the western sanctions for his role in the bombardment of maria poll. cave accuses him of planning the siege in which thousands of civilians died as residential buildings were destroyed. as incense has also been accused of orchestrating the bombing campaign that leveled much of rebel held aleppo in syria. i can 2016. so may i put a is a military analyst and author of russia's road to war with ukraine. he says that moscow is likely to change its military tactics in ukraine. oh, we going to see more indiscriminate, bombardments, of pulse of ukraine that russia is yet to conquer? and i think the answer is yes and, and very simply at this, at the store to the invasion, the russian armed forces trots, operate with a bit more finesse. parachute drops on to the bombs raise into ki ivan khaki. it all failed and they reverted to time and time is very sadly,

the source of campaigns we seen in a leper in syria, marable and in southern ukraine. devastation of the city state, and russia, claiming nasa conquest images talk about strategy professionals. talk about logistics, that's one of the aphorisms that sometimes goes around discussion about military operations. and one of the reasons that rushes on forces of struggled in ukraine, comes down to logistics. it comes down to armed forces advancing without proper lines of supply. disconnect from other lines with bonds. remember russia invaded from from multiple angles of ukraine. so bringing kind of control to this tails has been an uphill struggle for russia's defense ministry in his military command. ever since the early days of the invasion starts and things don't just go wrong. so indeed, macau minutes of will be really responsible, i think, for digging, rushing forces in for the long haul. and this then ties in with this polish my blaze ation order. we've also seen happen this week. germany's charles off sholtes

has met cutters. a mia shake to me and been hammered on fanny. both leaders say the talks are under way to get liquefied natural gas from castle to germany. as berlin struggles with an energy crisis hush, my whole barrow reports. there are some issues the both categories and the germans have to overcome. the categories tend to historically sell their gas or long term contract contracts. the germans are saying, we don't want to commit ourselves to long term contracts and other st, and they would like to negotiate down the prices of any potential agreement the the want to have with the cost is now what we heard from the emir shift, i mean been hammered, anthony, and from the giant chancellor on us chose is that there is a chance that they would overcome those differences and will forward and secure at the dice. going to be significant for the germans. because german or the chancellor of south has been promising his people that he will do his best to mitigate the potential fall out from the or the war in the air in ukraine and particularly in

its impact on energy. 30 palestinian prisoners have started a hunger strike and protest against their detention without charged by as worthy of forces. more than $700.00 palestinians being held without charge or trial in is really jails out zeros. near mid r abraham is in the occupied west bank that explains what's led to these protests. the prisoners say that there is an increase in these railey practice of administrative detention, which is withholding palestinians in jails indefinitely without charges. now israel says it has secret evidence against some of those palestinians, but palestinians say that this increase in using this practice is not only being used as a punitive measure, but also as revenge. some of the palestinian prisoners undergoing the strike. said in the letter that some of the interrogators told them that they aimed to prevent

them from celebrating life from morning a loved one with their families. so we've spoken to one of the families, a mother of a prison that named rami. she says out of the 10 years he spent in jails for more than 7 years, but we didn't have any charges, didn't know why he's being held. so there has been an increase in that use of this policy, prompting a palestinian prisoners to announce that they will be refusing food and water until their demands are met. people in cuba, a voting and a landmark referendum, the could legalize same sex marriages, and adoption for proposed changes will also allow surrogate pregnancies and give more rights to long. biological parents, president miguel diaz canal says the changes are necessary to guarantee the rights of all families. allison populations across the african continent of plummeting that south africa is blocking the trend. 2 thirds of its roughly 30000 elephants

are in the kruger. national park and surrounding areas are growing herbs, opposing and economic threat to communities. the board of the reserve. as emily anglin reports, these elephants are being targeted, degrading females attract down then shot, but not with a bullet with a vaccine. i think for me, the biggest thing is that it's a proactive, humane way of controlling elephant populations. j. j. phenomena is part of a team from humane society, international africa, administering immunity contraception. it's an approach often used by private reserves in this part of south africa to stop the elephants from breeding. the vaccine causes the immune system to produce anti bodies that prevent fertilization . when we started, everybody was looking, you know, contraception wow, that's very controversial. you'll never get to work to weigh in 2008. it was

included in our national norms and standards. while the number of elephants is plummeting across the continent. populations in southern africa are expanding. i think the perception is our peers that elephants are endangered and that they, you know, we going to lose them. they gotta go extinct staffing off the coast. and it's not just private reserves that have to navigate this problem. elephants can consume up to 400 kilograms of vegetation in a day while foraging. they routinely destroyed crops and farm infrastructure, threatening the livelihoods of entire communities. we struggling with elephants turman again. now we crying because the elephants are damaging their crops, but you never know. in the near future, what kind of incident are we gonna get? la thompson, anger, man, a gross melons peanuts and mays in a small village, north of crew. good, national park. still another or this isn't observed when the elephants come in here, the damage, everything, the, it almost everything in amended,

the put them and them everywhere on the ground. conservation is say, it's important to find sustainable ways to mitigate conflict between wild animals and people. or even let me grab one solution, according to michelle henley, who's been studying elephants for 25 years, is growing aromatic herbs, such as chilly or lemon grass. so if you plant those crops in abroad, barrier around your, your palatable crops. if you want to use as a food source, that's another way to, to, to elephants and to get income. another is installing, hives these giant animals escape of bays. the bay will continue about how best to manage the growing numbers of these beautiful elephants. what isn't in dispute though, is protecting these animals and preserving vine diversity in the area. emily anglin, al jazeera kruger, national park, south africa.
