sustained. 250 kilometers prior, so it was pretty much teetering on the brink of a category 5 storm and we saw a storm surge, 5 meters high. so those winds 250 kilometers per hour, literally picking up the ocean and shoving it further inland. so here's an example of that storm search. this is time lives video over the course of an hour, this street and some of those homes in the background just under water, and that will continue to play out as we head toward thursday. so let's track out where ian is right now, and not only is this a big wind event, it's going to be a large rain event. so north of orlando, i think we could pick up to about $500.00 millimeters of rain, half a meter of rain, or half a years worth of rain in the span of a few days. now, by friday in will weekend. it's now a tropical storm out into the advantage, and it's going to spread significant rain to that eastern side of georgia and south carolina. watch what happens over the course of the weekend. it moves back on land over the border between georgia and south carolina. but we're going to see some

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 fall noble 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 in europe of youth rush of sabotaging their own pipelines and speculated at more attacks could 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 cause this kind of damage unit. jennifer 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. a 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 on global warming. then the c o 2. if the guys it's burn, depending on how much of it is absorbed by sea water, and how much goes up in the air ex, let's say a to do as much damage to the climate as a c o 2 emissions of a mid a large city. like hills, 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, if you 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 damage to know what 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 sea. meanwhile, the european union and the us are planning to impose more sanctions on russia for holding what they call sham referendums in ukraine. the balance were held in russian occupied parts of eastern new crime. the kremlin bank authorities dare say the results show that people overwhelmingly voted to join the russian federation. separatists reported huge margins of victory saying that in the region of lou hands, 90 percent of the voted favor annexation. we do not accept the

referenda and any kind of annexation in ukraine, and we are determined to make the kremlin pay for this further escalation. so we propose sweeping new important bands on russian products. this will keep rushing 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. me am i supposed later uncensored she has been sentenced to 3 years in jail. along with her former economic advisor, strongly in shown to announce that pe pleaded not guilty to violating the official

secrets act sentencing took place in a closed court. it's the latest in a series of convictions. so she has faced since being allocated in the military her back in february 2021. let's bring in tiny chang who's following developments for us from bangkok. hello there, tiny. so searching now faces more than 20 years in prison. is she likely ever to be free? that is very hard to say. i think at this stage we have seen charge upon charge laid against her sentence upon sentence piling up 23 years. her she is now supposed to serve in jail. some of those sentences carry with them hard labor sentences as well, which will be incredibly difficult for a 77 year old woman. at this stage with the sentences she's looking at she's and she still has several still to come. she won't get out of jail until she's over a 100 years old. now, i think the, the issue here is,

what is the military trying to do here? we've seen them piling up these charges against a clearly they want her out of the picture politically. they know very well that they hold elections as they have done in the past. she will, will, and when overwhelmingly again, and they want to take her away from that. if elections go ahead next year as they promised they will. and there is a, for the military, a satisfactory result. they may allow her, some degree of freedom, perhaps house arrest of some sort. but clearly she will never be allowed to return to the political stage while a military in charge. and at this stage, these sentences are sentences are effectively a death sentence. indeed, tiny an estrella meanwhile has said it was considering sanctions against me in my as a result of the turn now case. are they likely to impose them now? very difficult to say. at this stage we have had some brief response from

australia's foreign minister penny wong, saying that australia rejects the outcome of this trial. as it entered, objected to the grounds on which this trial was brought. and it called for the immediate return of professor sean tanelle to australia. they had intimated in august the acting prime minister said that they were mauling sanctions. however, australia has remained very quiet and in fact has been so quiet on this case that it's attracted as criticism from some human rights organizations who would have liked them to be very more outspoken in their condemnation of the char. australia is a pretty big player in this region. it does have resources here. it also has open channels of communication. so one would imagine that they are trying to find some way out of this for sean turner. but we've also seen mia mars military gender being increasingly brazen in rejecting overtures from the international community,

particularly with the execution of for political prisoners a couple of months ago and pushing back against asha and the regional grouping in southeast asia. we've also been trying to find a solution to the ongoing violence in myanmar. her miramar, at this stage, doesn't seem to be looking to accept any criticism at all and is just pushing on ahead as it once. tony, thanks, i'm actually apt ain't annie chang life ross in bangkok. still hands on al jazeera, flimsy nigeria, putting children's education at risk. we'll hear one student's story. ah, it's a saga forecasts for europe hybrid won. great to have you a long so the what, whether that was in switzerland has now dived toward the south and the east,

so it's blanketing, slovenia, and croatia in some rain here also for that western side of italy could see some severe thunderstorms, a bubble up along the eastern shores of the adriatic sea as well now, much calmer weather as we had to our turkey and greece. so athens, you're up to 30 degrees on thursday. other side of the mediterranean rounds of rain to go here across sat north coast of spain, coastal sections of portugal. but that's pushing more inland on thursday toward the northwest to get a bit of a breather and have forecast on thursday. but yet you see this batch, this slug of rain off toward the atlantic. let's press play. see where that goes on friday, you get state running right into the islands of ireland and britain. and i do think we will see some weather alerts in play here for just how intense that rain will be off to africa and really from the south west of chad, right through to see are the own. that's where we've got bursts of rain. and as we head toward the south, those winds are ramping up across south africa's northern cape province. this is concerning that's gonna hike up the risk of wildfires. and then some rain across

south africa's coastline on thursday. don't forget the umbrella that shop they buy for now. ah. ah, ah, i'm with lou.

oh, you're watching al jazeera, i'm emily anglin. he's a reminder of our top stories this hour, or we can ins hit florida walden. 2000000 people are without power. and many more are under mandatory evacuation orders. it's now wake into a category to stone. the swedish coast guard is reporting a full lake at the north stream pipelines in the baltic sea. russia says it's launched a terrorism investigation or the damage to you and nato say the lakes were caused by sabotaged me and minds to pose later on sun search. she has been sentenced to 3 years in jail, alongside her former economic advisor. it's the latest in a series of convictions suits. she has faced sins being alfred in the military current. in february 2021 us vice president comma harris

has visited the demilitarized zone in separating south and north korea and made hyphen tensions. harris earlier held talks with south korea president june, so p o, where they both condemned north korea's nuclear rhetoric pyongyang fide to short range ballistic missile tests. just a day before harris landed in the region, yona and harris discussed strengthening the nation's alliance, as well as improving ties between japan and so covering this for us is road mcbride, who's standing by for us in pod you in south korea. rob, what does this vision mean for the security alliance between washington and salt

in our just as we, as we see a military cooperation picking up, we're also seeing a return to an awful lot of the rhetoric and the, the, the, the comparative language from north korea and also a lot of it's testing and in fact, and we are expecting, according to south korean intelligence officials, that the north has completed preparations for another nuclear test. now they haven't done a nuclear test since 2017 as well. so you do get this sense of a things slipping back in time. just wednesday evening,

we had the launch of 2 more short range, ballistic missiles. there was another on sunday there has been a continuous miss al testing, really since the start of this year, it was only a few weeks ago that the north korean leader kim jong, earn a center announced that north korea had arrived as a nuclear armed power to now enshrined in law and its worth bearing in mind that the last major u. s. leadership visit to the dmc with 2019 that was a president donald trump when he famously walked between the blue hut shook hands with kim jong on, stepped across into north korea. at the height of all of that summit, diplomacy with hopes that the to we were about to see some a breakthrough and they were having the loss agree to de nuclear eyes. i think this visit back to the usual sort of going up to the d. m. c or meeting greenberg at the u. s. personnel there and staring across into north korea that you'd never actually, or we're not meeting with at the moment. i think that kind of shows you where the

relations have slipped to at the moment in data. and we appreciate you breaking no damn fresh, rubbing, fired light press in south korea to run now where president abraham racy says the death of massa meanie has saddened to everyone but worn to chaos. won't be accepted as violent protests, spread demonstrations have been taking place across a run for almost 2 weeks. human rights group say at least 75 people have been killed in the unrest. the 22 year old and mean he died on the 16th of september. after being detained by the country's morality place, wrestle, santa has more from tehran, the prism of iran, the brain bracy has talked about massa. mean is that for the 1st time since the process began nearly 2 weeks ago in iran, he said that her death has sudden him and right off the hearing about my sermon is that he has called massa. i mean his family and conveyed his condolences. he said

that the piece will protest or understandable, but right in the use of wireless against the security forces are not acceptable to gordon whether massa, i mean, he had a heart attack while she was in polish, custody, or was beaten to death. he said that an investigation is still underway. i asked him wondering, does he have the inquiry is still ongoing itself duty to follow the investigation. our intention is transparency and justice. medical forensics are looking into it and the final report will be presented within the next few days. now people in iran are waiting for there's 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 say that their protest here on using the momentum regarding that 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, a lady, montana santa, had that force with security forces in baghdad. they tried to push towards the cities for to find grains i'm and when protesting against a political deal that saw one of their main allies shifting allegiance to their rival alley. hashem explains that st squared is once again a battle yeah. support. i don't want to do that for the for the guys i'm here to protest against the parliament recession. and so one of the main allies joining ranks with thought was rivals. i know the honda, how do we don't have rice like in other countries? what did we do?

and i wanted to, we don't want the framework to form the government and we are fed up on a job. iraq, it's for rockies not for around. we don't want to be proxy. security forces close the entrances to the green zone, but protested, didn't give up. security forces were pushed back from the heavier square. where now there is no sign of them anymore. if you look just behind me here, they can be seen on a bridge. what protests, those are trying to make their herds over this bridge to walk the other area. they wanted to start the green zone, where political blocks convened the parliament to vote on the speakers resignation . it was the 1st parliamentary meeting since august, when fighting broke out between supporters of southern and his shot. i was getting more than 30 people. mohamed how lucy wanted the m. p 's who replaced subley 73 deputies to confirm his previous election by refusing his resignation. as expected,

he kept his position and m p as from the sub was rival of the rom back coordination framework voted in favor. the minutes after the session, the couple of rockets struck the green zone. wondering for security personnel, bulldozers allegedly owned by thought was supported, was seen removing high, was on the entrances of the zone, and many fear they might be prophetic occupied the parliament once again. the ashes, just like that protested, have clashed with police in hazy on the 3rd day of the national strike by the transport union against that gas price hikes. people have been demanding than prime minister on re resign since he announced a cut to fuel subsidies earlier this month from a prime minister laurel lehman. a says he does not have faith in the current later on. right? this is a ration. how's whereas and in the past week, due to government decision to double the price of

gasoline and diesel on the market? the 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 transitional prime minister that had amended to organize election and resort security. and i believe that i believe that he has not carried out that mandate. so people are very disappointed. 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 no longer would solve anything, even whereas they would create more problems. so, so the ultimate solution for the asian people themselves to chew their own leader, rather than to have another route of political meetings and political deals and bag

or meetings, you know, order to put a luggage and this and that will sub absolutely nothing. and the people, not one that the people want to put, you know, like that when president and go to the polls. and of course, they want to do that in peace and security. and this is why it's important that security be restored, that the gang be put out of out of business and security in order be restored. flags have devastated huge parts of nigeria, killing hundreds of people, and displacing hundreds of thousands more infrastructure, including homes and schools have been destroyed. final exams have been postponed leaving thousands of students, effective mohammed, zakiria om. it is one of them. my name is val, how much, how much? i'm still yes on to go by. oh, i didn't quote going to the school and i mean, j del sebra. now tony. so now if we only see
