determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so we propose sweeping new important bands on russian products. this will keep russian products out of the european market and deprive russia of an additional 7000000000 euros in revenues. were also proposing to extend the list of products that cannot be exported to russia anymore. the amos here to deprive the kremlin military complex of key technologies. a russia has called for a un security council meeting over damage to, to which nord stream gas pipelines in the baltic sea. russia security forces says it has launched an international terrorism investigation into what a cause intentional damage to the pipelines, the european union,

and nato say the leaks would you to sabotage nor stream one usually ships gas directly from russia to germany, russia suspended deliveries earlier this month. because of a stand off over sanctions, denmark and sweden 1st reported the lease near the island of bourne home. shipping, near the lines have been restricted and no way is deploying its military to protect its oil and gas installations. steadfast and reports from luke min on germany's bolted coast. a controversial project from the start with billions of dollars is now as good as that. not $31.00, and $2.00 are not transporting gas to germany at the time of the leaks. but looking at the extent of the damage, experts wonder if they will ever be used again. while it's still anyone's gas was responsible for what looks like an attack on the pipelines the leaks reveal how vulnerable europe's energy supply is, especially since russia's invasion of ukraine. the annie of all the students were

in a serious situation and you, we've long been aware that the baltic season area of high attentions look at the rhetoric around finland and sweden's membership of nato. the baltic sea is an area where you have to expect this many and europe of youth rush of sabotaging their own pipelines and speculated at more attacks would come. moscow has rejected these accusations, saying it's the americans who benefit most from the price of gas going up. analysts say a high level of expertise is needed to cost this kind of damage unit in for structure, for each unit equipment for it. you need money for it, need expertise for it, it can't be done that easily. so there's, there's a couple of organizations only that can actually do this. which also means you can hedge. that means you're bringing probably a lot more intelligence than military to anticipate anything that might happen. and that might need to a much more secure system. hundreds of millions of cubic meters of gas, which were left in the pipelines has been pouring into the baltic sea. the main gas

leaking from north stream into the ball to see if me saying this has a much larger impact and global warming. then the c o 2. if the guys it's good, depending on how much of it is absorbed by sea water and how much goes up in the air, that's let's say as who do as much damage to the climate as a c o 2 emissions of a mid a large city like hill, thank you for an entire year. just a few days before the leaks were detected, hundreds of germans held a rally, demanding that the government start operating northridge to like many and europe. germans are struggling to pay their energy bills. after russia got supplies in response to sanctions imposed by the west, i mean to make sure that we have reasonably priced got the game and that the taxes are ended. that's one here. germany has been looking for alternatives to russian gas. the damaged north stream pipes have made it even more clear that the country needs a more secure supply of energy. steadfast and al jazeera and look me on the baltic,

see me and maza deposed lead on saying she she has been sentenced to 3 years in jail. along with her former economic advisor, australian short term, now the pair pleaded not guilty to violating the official secrets act sentencing to place in a closed court. supporters to now are still hoping that he will be deported with tony chang. join just live now from bangkok. so tony australia said it was mulling sanctions against me and mot relating to the to nail case. is that now likely very hard to say at this stage, australia has remained very silent throughout the period. nearly 2 years to sean tenelle has been in mamma detention. nonetheless, there is, i would imagine a lot of this quite about the sentence and the process of the child. it was a child of the australian embassy was not allowed to attend. when mister turn elves

law is asked for a translator to be present to translate proceedings to full him, those requests were denied. and i think just the very basis on which these, these proceedings were to place a big question, not only by australia, but also around the world by anybody looking at how these charles and the other charles had been brought against other senior n l. d leaders. since the military who have been brought into question nonetheless, i think they will be hoping very hard that they can find some kind of leverage with the government that said, we've seen, particularly in the last 3 months, many months, government very much going against the tie, the public opinion, a very much going with the policy of antagonists more most with us here in countries in the region and with other criticism it's facing outside. so this stage things are not looking very good for sean tanelle and his hopes of getting home and

saying she she now faces more than 20 years in prison. is she ever likely to be free? well i think while the current military gentle remains empower, that is probably unlikely. i mean, clearly what we can see is a policy with all these challenges being brought against and all the sentences that have been imposed, we think now 23 years, including several years of hard labor for women that 40 a 2 years old. that is really, really a life sentence now, for our sons, who she, the military gentle may be hoping at some stage that once they have secured power, once they've managed to quiet the opposition against the coo and the government, that they might be able to relax conditions on. busy least leave her in some kind of home detention as she was under the previous military. john to the stage that also looks, looks on like the bummer is increasing, the memory is increasing the wrong restful. there's an awful lot of opposition to

to the job has rule and i think the chances of sunset she getting getting out into freedom at any point, while the generals are still in charge. this stage looks very unlikely. thanks tony . tony chang live 1st. there in bangkok, thailand on those sentence 6 just handed down to me and mom are still ahead on al jazeera, the not backing down protesters defy a security crack down in iran when anger is spreading. definitely young woman in police custody. ah, here's her weather update in a minute. 15 great tissue will begin in the middle east. no major changes from the

assertiveness of china, we've heard from president joe biden repeating his pledge that they would come to the support of taiwan if it was ever attacked by china. so i think this is the americans want to hear that said that the south koreans, as the other major ally and that's part of the world are also on board. the south korea. it is slightly more complicated because it has much closer trade links with china. it also knows that china is, holds a great influence over north korea. so south koreans, even where the conservative administration now empowered, they don't want to anger beijing. but it has to be said that they have been seeking close military ties with the united states forces. in fact, that the there is underway just off the east coast of the korean peninsula. this visit by the ronald reagan strike group. this is the u. s. carrier undergoing joint exercises with the south great kinds of outside the 1st time that that is happens in 5 years undone. specifically with the state admission of showing the result in

the face of renewed threats from your career protest. this have clashed with police in haiti on the 3rd day of a national strike by the transport union against gas price hikes. people have been demanding the prime minister ariel re resigned since he announced the cut to fuel subsidies earlier this month. but today, be protesting peacefully against the cost of living against ariel henry higgins insecurity. the police fire tear gas, andrea bullets kill us. we, the activists in the popular neighborhoods, the young leaders are asking who deals with the nation, because there is nothing here that can be done with ariel henry, and there are no roads, nor hospitals, no good educational drinking water in the country. we are left alone, only the rich lavelle in this country. this is the reason why we continue to demonstrate so that all he can live a better life than a former prime minister of haiti. laurel lamotte says, he does not have faith in the current leader area,

long re this is your ration. how's whereas? and in the past week, due to government decision to double the price of gasoline. and these are on the markets that people are living in very difficult financial situation. there is a lot of poverty in this situation is a difficult one. again, this is a traditional prime minister that had amended to organize the less than and resource security. and i believe that i believe that he has not carried out that mandate. so people are very disappoint in there is a lot of frustration boiling all over the country. so the ultimate solution is to have a legitimate government in power through election. and that has to happen because i don't believe that a longer job would solve anything, even worse, it would create more problems. so, so the, the,

the ultimate solution was under haitian people themselves to choose their own leader. rather than to have another route of political meetings and political deals and backdoor meetings in order to put a longer transition that will solve absolutely nothing. and the people don't want that. people want to put, you know, a leg that when president and go to the polls and the, and of course they want to do that in, in peace and security. and this is why it's important that security be restored at the gangs be put out of her out of business and security in order beat me to restore iran's president. abraham lacy says the death of nasa armine has saddened every one but warned chaos as he called. it won't be accepted as protest. spray demonstrations have been taking place across iran for almost 2 weeks. human rights who say at least 75 people have been killed in india, protests the 22 year old and mean he died on the 16th of september after being

are waiting for this, a forensic report to be released once it's released. we will see whether it's going to convince the protesters and based on that, which kind of actions are going to be taken by the government. but as of now, we can see that their protest here on using the momentum regarding as they are asked to calles that the participation to this process is, is, is, is declining. but it's not clear whether it is because of the internet restriction that was put by the government that is per, wanted to protest us from organizing. or whether it is because of the heavy presence or the security forces in the states. and the heavy handed security measures against the protesters, supporters of iraqi, she oddly down looked at us, saw that i have fought with security forces in baghdad. they tried to push towards the cities fortified greens on they were protesting against a political deal. the saw one of their main allies shifting allegiance to their rivals. alley hash, im reports that street
