welcome to the program. the swedish coast guard is reporting a 4th lake at the north stream pipelines in the baltic. same a pipeline, usually ships gas from russia to germany. russia says it's launched a terrorism investigation over the damage and called for meeting of the un security council. the, you and nato say the legs for caused by sabotage. let's take a closer look. nordstrom, one is a key line that transports a gas to europe, but russia suspended deliveries earlier this month because of a stand off over sanctions. denmark and sweden 1st reported the links near the island of born hong shipping. near the lines has been restricted, in no way is to point it's military to protect its oil and gas installations. so vast some reports now from loop min on germany's baltic 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 fall noble europe's energy supply is, especially since russia's invasion of ukraine, the annie of all the suitors wearing a serious situation in you. we've long been aware that the baltic sees an 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 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 cost this kind of damage, unit infrastructure 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 on global warming down to 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 middle 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 private got the game and that the things are ended, that's why i'm 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 repaying union and the us are planning to impose more sanctions on russia for holding what they call sham referendums in ukraine. the ballots were held in russian occupied parts of eastern ukraine, the kremlin, back to authorities. this and 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, 98 percent of voted favored annexation. we do not accept the referenda and any kind of annexation in ukraine. and we're 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 year to deprives the kremlin military conflicts of key technologies. to me a man now where deposed later uncensored she has been sentenced at 3 years in jail . along with her former economic adviser, estallion shown to now it pay 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 soon she has faced since she was asked in

a military curve in february 2021. 20 chang has been following developments in bangkok. we have seen charge upon charge, laid against her sentence upon sentence, piling up 23 years her. she's 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 shoes 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 win 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 the military in charge. and at this stage, these sentence are sentences are effectively a death sentence. i reckon ian has left a trail of distraction in southwest florida, knocking out power to 2000000 people and trapping many in flat homes. it's sort of strongest harkins to ever hit the united states. it's weakened to a category one stone by the us national higher. can seem to is warning of catastrophic flooding in land. no deaths have been reported, but about 20 people on missing. after birth carrying cuban migrant sank ne, florida. hydro castro has more on the impact of the hurricane. with wind speed topping 250 kilometers per hour. hurricane

e and ripped across florida's gulf coast. wednesday afternoon, waves turn streets into rivers. florida's governor warning the worst may still be to come. it is gonna have major, major impacts in terms of wind, in terms of rain, in terms of flooding jobs. so this is gonna be a nasty, nasty day, 2 days, wow. homes are without power as utility workers from 27 states prepared to descend. as soon as the storm clears, about 2 and a half 1000000 people were ordered to evacuate, but some stayed behind risking everything is my home. for a me and my mom, you know, i me, it, there goes the what, what, what do you do? it's been decades since a hurricane of this magnitude hit florida's western coast. curiosity through some people out on to an exposed sea bed earlier wednesday. the water temporarily sucked

away by the storms. low pressure is so dangerous to be after. so even if you see the water receding, it's not the time to go out there and, and look at it or collect shells or whatever it is. the national hurricane center is warning of catastrophic storm surge winds and flooding across florida. as people sheltered in place, president joe biden said the federal government would help with search and rescue and recovery. gimme he is also warning the oil and gas industry not to raise gas prices. do not let me repeat, do you not? to use this excuse to raise gasoline prices regarding eons slow movement across florida means the state will likely be pummeled for days to come. to jo, castro, al jazeera us vice president, commer harris has visited the demilitarized design separating south and north korea and mid height intentions. harris earlier held talks with south korea's president

june, so yo would both condemning north korea's nuclear rhetoric yung yang of fine to short range ballistic missile tests. just a day before harris landed in the region, yoon and harris discussed strengthening the nation's alliance, as well as improving ties between japan and so, covering developments is rob mcbride, who's standing by for us in pod you in south korea. hello there, rob. what does harris's visit mean for the security lines between washington and sol? yeah, it does come at a significant time of increasing tensions in this part of the world where a few kilometers back from the d. m. z. carmella harris has been visiting pam and john. it's there where the location of the famous blue huts of the piece village there where the armistice was signed. that ended the korean war. back in 1953. that's just a few kilometers further along the border as she has also been to an outpost

looking into north career itself, she had made a statement talking about those shared relationship and the alliance between south korea and united states or an alliance ford. she said in the sacrifice a shared sacrifice and fighting of that war, which was in the name of freedom earlier, she also met with units of girl, the south korean president. and this comes, of course, after the visit, it's for the state funeral of shinto ave in tokyo, i think that emphasizes how much importance or the united states puts on its alliance with a, with a, with japan at the moment, given the increasing or influenza increasing power of china as a counter to that. so this trip is very much aimed at, sir. it's assuring up the alliance with the 2 most important allies in this part of the world, south korea and japan, and full south careers position. it is reaffirmed or its commitments to larger scale military exercises we're seeing at the moment this visit to korean waters. it's the 1st time in 5 years by the u. s. carrier. the ronald reagan has a leading

a strike group that is taking part in joint drills at witcher as also a way of showing up showing the resolve of the south koreans and the u. s. to what they say is it this increasing rhetoric from north korea? and rob, has there been any reaction from north korea and is stage knows careers seems to continue a with its plans for nuclear development. we are all expecting and intelligence officials here in south korea are confidently predicting that the north has a finished preparations for a nother nuclear test. now that would be its 1st nuclear test or since 2017. so there are very much echoes of a previous tensions wednesday evening. we had 2 more short range, ballistic missiles being launched by the north. there was another one. on sunday, there had been a series of regular tests of all different types of missiles since the start of

this year. and north korean leader, of course, kim joan, a re affirmed recently that it's now enshrined in law that his country north korea is he says, a nuclear armed power. so as they seem very much committed to holding on to their nuclear arsenal, it's interesting that the last very senior us leadership visit to the dmc was back in 2019. that was president donald trump at the time when he famously shook hands with kim jong on a between the blue hot stepped across into the north and stepped back again. the fact that this is very much more of the old fashioned kind of us visit to the dmc, where basically the president or vice president looked into the north. and that said, i think it shows you at the way that relations have slipped back to how they were maybe 5 years ago. really appreciate that. and as always, rubbing bride line for us in. net packaging. south korea, thank you. still had to own al jazeera. ah,

not backing down. protest is defined as security grant down in iran where anger is spreading over the death of a young woman in police custody. a man and the grandma and grammy winning ran that coolio has died while on ah, anticipation is rising. i so as the, as with most of my cattle anyways, it's a good news, bad news situation across europe. so the good news is there is still some warmth to be found. hi everyone. the bad news is it's shari and cool. you know, we picked up to more than a months worth of rain in zurich over the last. so bit that slug of rain has dipped to the south in the east, so downpours over slovenia and croatia for that western side of italy could power

up some severe thunderstorms here. okay, now on to the good news, look at this athens up to 29 degrees on thursday in the sunshine will get your temperature even higher on friday. other side of the mediterranean getting down with rain that north coast of spain through portugal, that's moving more inland on thursday. and it's about to get a whole lot better for the islands of ireland and britain. but for now, we've got some sonny's falls in the forecast. here's that next band of rain press play thursday into friday is it swoops in dog of the color. the more intense the rain is falling here, and i think we will see some weather alerts in play. that southeast corner of nigeria deadly flooding there at least $23.00 people killed and concentrated rain over liberia and sierra leone. on thursdays we did towards south africa and the eastern cape province, there is some weather alerts in play that we're going to see some severe thunderstorms pop up here towards that southeast corner. be careful out there. it could be bad. i'll see you soon. take care to with sponsored by cats all day ways

debating the issues of the day produce as always been criminalized around the boundaries of rights. these are just member, there people are families and our friends and our community members on our online. i, jewel, voice this mandatory don't believe in dialogue. the political crisis must be soft with a political solution as cartoons progresses. there are some people who are the places that they're just going to have to move. there's no recognition about what we're ready facing. the street. oh, now 20. lou. lou. hello, you're watching al jazeera, i'm emily ang, when he's reminder of our top stories this hour. the swedish coast guard is

reporting a 4th lake at the north stream pipelines in the baltic. saint russia says it's launched a terrorism investigation over the damage. the you and nato say the lakes were caused by sabotaged the european union and the u. s. to planning to impose more sanctions on russia for holding what they call sham referendums in ukraine. the ballots were held in russian occupied parts of eastern new crying, and harry canadians, heaps, florida, more than 2000000 people are without power and many more under mandatory evacuation audits. it's now awakened to a category one stone. let's get the latest on the ground in florida with embassies, chris ballard, who joins us from tampa bay. hello there, chris. it looks a relatively come way you up, but residents are bracing for what could be days of threatening whether

yeah, emily, good morning. that's absolutely right. here in tampa, they really dogs the worst of hurricane and driving in this morning. we saw lots of parts of palm trees down on the ground, bent signs, things of that nature. but this area got out relatively unscathed for many people to the south of here, one to 2 hours from where i'm standing right now. it will be a day of assessing the damage and trying to figure out what's next. the storm roared ashore down south of tampa yesterday afternoon and brought with it extremely high winds. heading northwards of 20250 kilometers per hour and extremely high storm surge in places like naples in fort myers beach. people there are trying to figure out exactly what was damage, what's left, and where they go forward from there. as you mentioned, the storm is still hanging on as a category one, the hurricane. hurricane this morning, as it slowly makes its way eastward and towards the atlantic ocean. so places like

orlando in central florida are expecting anywhere from, from, you know, $20.00 to $30.00 inches of rain in the next several hours. and we're already seeing reports of flash flooding homes being inundated from such a deluge or brain. the governors of georgia, north carolina, south carolina and virginia have already declared states of emergency in their areas, and it's his patient of the heavy rain and tropical conditions that are coming their way. now, at this moment, as we emerge less than 24 hours after the storm hits the state of florida. at this point, there are no reported deaths from this system, but that certainly could change as we figure out exactly what was damaged and what's left behind. emily, here we are seeing some live pictures now of daytona beach, florida, and san a. looks like severe wings and rain there. chris, you mentioned you saw some of the damage on your way in to tampa bay. is there any

idea the extent of the damage elsewhere across florida, or is it too early to town? well, in some places they know because either people were hunkered down in their own places or we've seen video of some of those beaches that were hardest hit. where the storm surge came in, topping one in 2 story buildings. we have video of a fire department in naples, florida. that fire department actually was getting dated by flood waters and the firefighters had to try and salvage whatever equipment they can. so there is some sense of the damage in the places they did see that immediate storm surge during daylight hours, but we expect that people are going to discover a lot more damage as the sun starts to come out to that date. all right, well we really appreciate the update and be safe, crisp alone joining us live from tampa bank. thank. alright,

he is al jazeera weather presented jeff harrington and jeff, what more can we expect from harmony and, well, you know, 1st of all, emily, this was the 5th, is strongest storm ever to strike the mainland us. so it has dealt a devastating punch to southwest florida. let's talk about how exactly this happened. give you a play by play right now. so look at the, i mean landfall just to the south of tampa in cale costa on wednesday afternoon. and when it made that landfall, those winds were sustained at 250 kilometers per hour. had that been 250 to 253. that would have been a cat 5, but really 2 or 3 kilometer per hour when it's negligible, all of this was catastrophic. and we had about 5 meter high storm sewers. so when you get those winds, it literally picks up the ocean and shoves it further inland. so i wanted to give you an example. this is a storm search in action. this is time. lots video of about an hour. look at this road just under water and see some of the homes in the background there. that is

the 5 metre high storm search that we were dealing with. ok, let's talk about where it is right now. we've talked about how powerful the wind has been. the storm surge but rain also a concern is wall. so i think north of orlando, about half a meter of rain or half a years worth of rain over the next 24 hours in. we'll then move out to the atlantic. we can into a tropical storm, so that says we head toward friday, watch what happens over the course of the weekends of friday into saturday. moves back in land, probably tropical cyclone at this point long. that border with georgia and south carolina. but this is going to bring some torrential rain there as well. so emily, all of that to say that over the next little bit, all eyes on hurricane it has just been pure devastation. yeah, well we really appreciate you breaking down for us jeff harrington, just there is where the present to the living on it now. and a runs president abraham racy, says the death of masa and mania has saddened to every one but worn to chaos. won't

be accepted as von and protests spreads. demonstrations have been taking place across the run for almost 2 weeks. human rights groups say at least 75 people have been killed in the unrest. the 22 year old and mean he dived on the 16th of september after she was detained by the country's morality police wrestle. santa has more from tara, the president of iran, a blame bracy has talked about massa. i mean, is that for the 1st time since the proof, as began nearly 2 weeks ago in iran, he said that her debt has sudden him and right off the hearing about my salmon is that he has called massa. i mean his family and conveyed his condolences, he said that the piece will protest are understandable, but right in the use of whiteness against the security forces are not acceptable to garden whether massa armine had a heart attack while she was in police custody or was beaten to death, he said that an investigation is still on the way. i asked him wondering,

does he have the inquiry is still ongoing. it's our 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 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 are using the momentum regarding ad they are asked to calles that the participation to this protest 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 is from organizing. or whether it is because of the heavy presence of the security forces in the cities. and the heavy handed security measures against the protesters. supporters of

a rakish year later mal tara l sada, have forced with the security forces in bagdad, they tried to push towards the cities for to find grains own. they were protesting against a political deal, which means one of the main allies will shift allegiance to their rivals. allie, hashem, explain me about st squared is once again a battle. yeah. support. i don't feel like you, she did that for the, for the guys are here. to protest against the parliament recession. and so one of the main allies joining ranks with such was rivals. i hope the honda how i do, we don't have rice like in other countries. what did we do? and i wanted to the, we don't want the framework to form the government. we are fed up now, i don't put on a job. iraq is for rockies not for around. we don't want to be proxy. security forces close the entrances to the green zone, but protective. didn't give up. security forces were pushed back from the heavier

to square. were now there is no sign of them anymore. if you look just behind me here, they can be seen on are you? what do you bridge, what protest says i trying to make their heard over this mich towards the other area they wanted to from the green zone were political blocks convened in the parliament to vote on the speaker 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 loose you wanted the m. p. 's, who replaced subs 73 deputies to confirm his previous election by refusing his resignation. as expected, he kept his position and m. b as from the sod was rival the rom back coordination framework voted in favor. the minutes after the session, a couple of rockets struck the green zone. wondering for security personnel, bulldozers the old by saw the supporters were seen removing high walls on the

entrances of the zone. and many fear they might be preparing to occupy the parliament. once again, i am a 0 like that. protest has have clashed with police in high c, paypal demonstrated on the 3rd day of a national strike by the transport union, which is opposing gas price hikes. they've been demanding than prime minister ariel on re resign since he announced to cut to few subsidies earlier this month. with the new buzz today, we are protesting peacefully against the cost of living against ariel henry against insecurity. the police fire tier, guess andrea bullet to kill us. we the activists in the popular neighborhoods. the young leaders are asking for hideous resignation because there is nothing serious that can be done with ariel henry and had to go with dar norwood's. no hospitalist, no good educational drinking water in the country. they are left alone, only the rich levelland this country. this is the reason why you continue to

demonstrate so they're all he pins can live a better life. and former prime minister of high c lauren lemuel tay says he hasn't no faith in the current leader ariella rain. this situation has worse and in the past week, due to government decision to double the price of gasoline and diesel on the market. the people are living a very difficult financial situation. there is a lot of poverty in this situation. it is a difficult one because this is a transitional prime minister that had amended to organize election and resource security. and i believe that i believed that he has not carried out that mandate. so people are very disappointed. there is a lot of frustration boiling all over the country. ah. so the, the ultimate solution do is to have a legitimate government in power election. and that has to happen because i don't

believe that a longer gen system would solve anything, even worse, he would create more problems. so, so the, the ultimate solution was under haitian people themselves to choose their own leader. rather than to have another put route of political meetings and political deals and back door meetings in order to put a longer transition that will sub absolutely nothing. and the people, not one that the people want to put, you know, a leg that when president and go to the polls. and, 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 gangs be put out of out of business and security in order be restored, gangsters, paradise rappa, cooley. i'm has died at the age of 15. her with money, obama got my pay and in my, in an agreement by connie and his legal name was.
