ian hit the island. ah, hello, and welcome to the program. russia says it's withdrawn its troops from the strategically important city of layman in the daniel screech, and to avoid them getting trapped. it served as a logistics and transport home from moscow, connecting east in ukraine to the north grange president is saying that fighting is still going on there. charles stratford is in come, a tourist ukrainian soldiers wave the flag, the entrance to layman bromley, bravo molar. i'm awfully m 14 the vouchers. era cannot independently verify shows dead soldiers and burnt out tanks beside the road. the ukrainian military said it surrounded the strategically important town in the partially russian occupied

region of the next hours later, the russian military said it had been forced to retreat. this'll dynamo grows at rosina. there was a high risk of being encircled, so our forces were withdrawn from position and lyman to more advantageous lines. pro russia media at video believe to show a russian tank retreating north towards camina town. russian falls is still control me as though cast them earlier trying to save our strength and control the road between lyman and the town cra, nina, that there are reinforcements trying to get in and established positions in order to stop the ukrainian baranski hawaiian ukrainian forces, celebrating pushing russian forces out of one of a number of villages in the surrounding area. ukrainian soldiers and volunteers evacuated more civilians from the front line town of buck route with his commander, increasing russian shelling in recent weeks. the bottom of her study snobs, fidel,

because of the secondary shelling, you see what happened or yesterday or the day before yesterday a projectile fell. yes, there was an older man in the house. they took him away. i was in the kitchen when the explosion happened here. it is impossible to be here. crane and authorities say more than half the 70000 people who lived in bar mood from the surrounding area before the war were ready fled. if the ukrainian army take full control of li man in the surrounding villages, it will be a huge military and strategic victory for them. it's believed from there. they will try to push both northeast and southeast towards russian. occupied areas of luke guns can don't ask. the russians say this retreat was strategic before kiev and its nato partners. it will be seen as a humiliating defeat. cha, stratford al jazeera kraemer tossed. the defeat has prompted rum zonker deer of the leader of russia's chechnya region to suggest that moscow should now consider using

a low yield nuclear weapon in ukraine. ahmed val is in moscow and has more on what russia is saying about withdraw from the man. according to the statement of the minister of defense is that the forces not withdraw from lee man. they were called allied forces. so that means that in the language of the minister of defense, these are not russian troops per se. they are those ukrainian forces that are loyal to moscow and now they are considered of course, after the annexation of those $33.00 is considered part of the russian federation, but they called them allied forces. so, i mean, that's a very careful wording because also the news here that we received before this statement by the minister of defense, he thought that the bulk of russian forces actually left to the man. and before this attempt by the u. k enforces to circle the town. nobody here inside russia

understand very well the strategy. lots of questions being asked about why are we receiving these set box? what is the exact strategy of russian army? are these just defeats as can can be described as just defeats or is this a strategy for something that is coming? we know that russia has a lot of very strategic weapons that can, it can still use in this fight. so the philosophy here is not russia has something that it is not doing yet that front line it is withholding a part of this of it's false, not just nuclear weapons, but it's strategic traditional, conventional weapons. and the question mark, c, r y is russia receiving these defeats when it can do better on the front line or washing authorities of detain, the director of ukraine's upper region nuclear power plant. you are nuclear

watchdog is saying rushers confirm that one shot was held for questioning ukraine state nuclear regulator. erin, how tom is saying that he was detained as his car was on its way from the facility to the nearby town of an adar. it was then blindfolded and driven in a direction that is not known. moscow seized europe's largest nuclear plant in march, but kept on its ukrainian staff. people have been trying to leave the russian claim region of zap where we should have been prevented from passing checkpoints without new york required permit holder. abdul hamid has more on that. now. one of the most visible impacts today is that usually this road here or would be, you would see convoys of ukrainians leaving or russian occupied areas main, liza parisha and nearby for so on. well to day. none of that happened. we were told

that basically since midnight, of the dead at the last russian check point, anyone who arrives is basically turned back, told that he has to or she has to apply for a new permit. just bear in mind that yesterday there was about a 1500 people who had made their way out. and in leading the referendum and viewing them, i've read no. that was more or less at the average of people coming out between $1500.00 to 2000. well today, none of that. and then we are also hearing now a report of shelly in their good died. that would be just next to the nuclear plot. where the director general at the moment is missing the i. e, a d international atomic agency, and issue the statements confirming that russia told him, told them that he was detained for questioning. are you ukranian say

that he was stopped by a russian patrol on his way? actually to do town of a no good or of a danish energy agency saying one of 2 ruptured gas pipelines in the baltic? c appears to stop leaking. the agency sat on twitter at been informed the gnawed stream to pipeline, which runs from russia to germany, appears to stabilize british prime minister less trust on saturday joint fellow european leaders in claiming the cause of the leaks were an act of sabotage. russia has it denied this. meanwhile, grisome bulgaria has inaugurated a long delay gas pipeline, which will help reduce europe's dependence on rush in energy imports. the new interconnect runs a 182 kilometers from cameras, teeny and greece to sitar as a gora in central bulgaria. it delivers gas from as a by john via an existing pipeline called the southern gas corridor. it will

provide relief of bulgaria, which has been struggling to secure its own gas supply since russia cut off a cut off in april. moscow has decreased deliveries to europe after the west impose sanctions over its invasion of ukraine. european commission present. ursula vaughan de line says the new pipeline is a game changer for energy security. magnolia used to receive 80 percent of its gas from russia. that was before russia decided to launch an atrocious war against ukraine and an energy war against europe. this pipeline is a game changer. it's a game changer for bulgaria and for europe's energy security. and it means freedom . it means freedom from dependency on russian gas ah,

have been demonstrations and gone fire bikini faso a day after the military said it had taken over the government and installed a new leader. the self declared new military, the captain abraham to r. a said in a statement on the sate broadcaster that asked to lead a pool on reed dumb neighbor, had taken refuge at a french base. the french embassy says its army has had no involvement in recent events. there, the amoeba was overthrown just 8 months after he took our himself in a qu let knuckle linelle. lieutenant colonel paul, on re santiago de amoeba, is said to have taken refuge in the french base in order to plan a counter offensive to stir up trouble within our defense and security forces. this follows our firm resolved to reach out to other partners ready to help us in our fight against terrorism. we invite the valiant, dignified and honest population not, not to fall into the trap. and to trust that our fight, which is the restoration of territorial integrity to loot wanted. want nicholas

hack is hauling his toy from to car and he joins us now. festival, what information you guessing about the the situation surrounding the previously to pull on redone me, but they said to have taken refuge at this french base. well, there's no clarity of where he is. exactly. there's been a statement made by the, the m, the, the army, the military in it, in this statement. they say that this is an internal crisis in what we're seeing right now, develop on the streets of walker to who is a disgrace to the army. really damming words in this statement and clearly it shows that there's a substantial part of the military that do not support the coop ladders and that continue to show their support for paul on the, the amoeba. where is he right now?

no one really knows, but there's been demonstrations in the capitol. why do go? but also are the 2nd largest city, bobo, gyla, so where hundreds of people have taken to the streets, some marching towards the french embassy and towards a french military camp. there's been a fire just outside the embassy that crowd has moved on. but what's interesting about what happened there is that the french embassy is just next to the television and radio station, where stations are the soldier supporting this coo. and instead of blocking these demonstrators that we're heading towards the french embassy with a let hundreds of people go down this normally highly secured roads as the curfew is about to come into place. and just in a few hours time. and there's a sense of and there's a lack of clarity of who's in charge of the country. is it? but he, demi bar, or is it this young captain?

and that just spoke to local radio that called on people to take to the streets. ibrahim tory, and tonight is going to be key in terms of trying to see who's in charge and who will be able to demonstrate their legitimacy. if we can talk about legitimacy over the country, marian, and so, nick, and it's interesting that there is some confusion about who might be in charge because it looked as though not sure if you still got me. but it did seem as though . busy abraham tara had pretty much cemented his new role in the country. does this mean that the army is divided? you know, i boston, all apologies that we will try and get nicholas hacked back a bit later on. in the news, our $2100.00 gmc will stay across developments in a bikini foster, whereas nick was saying that, or is it escalating violence and confusion about who is in charge of the country?

i've for a quick break now and then o thousands gather in baghdad to mock the 3rd anniversary of major protests against the government. scale of the destruction becomes clear off to hearken, ian ravages, florida. ah, now some heat hung on the southeast of europe quite a while now, but this push in the atlantic, i think, is finally get to see the end of it has been a slow moving funnel system, bringing significant rain which will carry on doing the same thing i think on the coast of the age reality then that edges right across towards the black sea and behind it, the air is much cooler, but where it cools down here, it warms up in spain. so in color, for example, $3033.00 of the maximum and far above the normal. so it's not a warm for some,

at least, but that's not an indication all new. yes, the sun is i but we're in the teens that i think steadily in the teens going down quite cold at night in frosty ones who places just probably normal ms. october after all. but take you through monday, you'll see the continued spread of the, of the blue and circulation setting up in western russia, bringing a pretty heavy rain down to the baltic states, or at least eastern lithuania. the sun's back out. further west is still nice and warm in spain, and the rain stop falling in france as is jump south. this unusual to the man to rain is getting this far north. and we're talking still about the gambits. certainly getting this out until saturday and shouldn't be this wet this late in the year. but it clearly is ah ah,

ah ah no. ah, well, come back, a quick luca headlines now. russia has withdrawn. it's trish initial digit, important city of the mon, the donnette screech, and it's of this and the just take some chance pop the moscow connecting east in ukraine to the north fighting is still going on in some parts of the region.

meanwhile, greece and bulgaria renewal great to the long delayed gas pipeline, which will help reduce europe's dependence on washing energy imports. it delivers gas from bulgaria to, to bulgaria from as a by john via an existing pipeline called southern gas car deal. and there are demonstrations and gone far between a fast. so a day after a faction of the minute treat took over the government and announced in the lead up the ousted president to put on we dumb. uber is now for to be taking refuge in a french base go. the french embassy is denying that it's been involved in any of this. now to iraq, thousands of people have gathered in the capital to mark the sun anniversary of major demonstrations against the government. the protest in 2019 coal for an entr, rampant corruption and high unemployment security was tightened around baghdad with most of its bridges and main roads closed on

a hush. him has more. oh, it's a digit moment for the people want to toppled the regime. the same slow people trumpet 3 years ago here in the 2019 protest spread across the country. demonstrate this call for political reform and an end to the good option that many believe got that it became known as the tree movement over the past month. youth movements have been calling on people to mark the uprising stood anniversary. i 2 years old, i come to protest against the corruption since 2003 till now. what did they do for us? nothing in the ballpark of our objectives are clear. we want to toppled the tyrants . welcome the father. this people want to revive whole 3 years after the uprising

a little has changed. i don't straight to have the same demands. political corruption and foreign agencies continue dog or shudder the country. despite all the struggles. some protesters wanted to remove barricades on the republic which, which leads to that heavily fortified brings or iraq suit or security forces, use you guys to disperse them. so really the injured and taken full medical treatment. 7 ah, what does, with marching the political life of iraq, there are divisions and those protesting couldn't agree on which square to the most street in this is unless will square. i know that protest was helping many see that as was the case in the, the, the square 3 years ago. the voice of the fishery movement is divided and division emboldens doors and power and the house room as

a 0. but that now in albany is are on, is targeted. the kurdish region of northern iraq for an 8th consecutive day dance, as it's taking action against iranian kurdish fighters, artillery fire at the time of silicon and its surroundings. local officials say at least 13 people have been killed in the ongoing bombardment attacks come after 2 weeks of protests in iran and students from several iranian universities. a staging, as sitting after the death of master armine, are accusing the government of suppressing opposing voices in detaining students. 20 geraldine died last month after being arrested by the country, so called morality place. many of the demonstrations refusing to attend classes, including some university professors. latvians, of course their votes and parliamentary elections with exit polls predicting a win for the prime minister christianity karen's center, right. new unity party election has been strongly influenced by its neighbors

invasion of ukraine. popularity of the russia friendly opposition. harmony party has been in decline, and it's expected to get a much lower share of the vote than the 20 percent it had in 2018. now if you're has a russian speaking minority along with it's both neighbors, it's been a key voice in pushing the european union to stand against russian expansionism. we go to brazil now there's an election there. 2 candidates have been holding their final events. the current president charles, narrow lead, one of his trademark motorcycle convoys in sao paolo was one of the most closely watched elections this year. the left is formed, present even nastier lulu de silver. the front runner, he has predicted to unseat his white wing incumbent rival in the 1st round. that whole scenario is criticized. the voting system says he will contest the results if he is defeated. oman, again, a key of joins us live from rio de janeiro. and what are the polls saying, because it does seem to be this anticipation that lula could could win this

outright? yes, that's what the polls say. i've spoken to people from his campaign. they are confident, but they don't want to cry victory ahead of time. but they have already made reservations for celebrations on one of the main streets of some follow, which is lula stronghold. it's the city where he will watch the electoral results and where he will vote. so they're very confident, but they don't want to be over confident because there may be a 2nd round, and that would be on october, the 30th. and what about to terrible scenario? he certainly knows how to get the crowds attention. he states this motorcycle convoy oversee the sort of excitement around him, but is there also fear about how he might react to le victory

yes, there has been fear. and that's why the electoral on the electronic voting system in brazil, which has been in use since the year 2000 and which and, and he has been questioning on this the, this integrity of this electronic voting valid. it was tested yet again to day on the verge of the elections. electro authorities, we have spoken to said there is no way to contest the results, because this is something that the machine counts and print. it has a printout of how many people voted in that specific electoral machine, and these results are printed on a paper, but they're also send to our to, to the supreme electoral court. in brazil you just to be counted. so you can't re count because there are no voting valid, it's all an electronic system and it has been tested over the past 22 years. so people are confident that but worried that if somebody contests,

it's not that much can happen. well, you can have is a very divided country, which brazil is at the moment. and a part of the country thinking that the voting machines were, were not i had been rigged or something. so it's, it's more of the political, all ambiance that would have, would be in brazil if this happened. it'll be interesting. thank you very much mechanic give and rio de janeiro all in 1600000 homes and businesses have been left without power of to hearken and slammed into the carolinas store made landfall in the us for a 2nd time on friday with strong winds, causing a surge of sea water in myrtle beach. ian has now been downgraded to a post tropical cycling, as it heads to the virginia's or the death toll in florida from oregon. ian is continuing to rise. u. s. media reporting that 64 people have been confirmed, dead, thousands remain on accounted for christian salumi as more ah,

as search and rescue efforts continue across southwest florida. the full extent of the destruction is now in plain view. fort myers is where the storm 1st hit land in the united states. along this stretch of florida coast buildings are leveled, and few boats remain in the water. here it was the storm surge after the deadly 240 kilometer per hour winds. that did most of the damage. michael mc phillips wrote out the storm in his fishing boat, one of the few now still see worthy. it was up, you know, at least 20 foot. and you know, high winds out these 150 miles an hour. it seemed like in his lot array in ship, blah, around, and the boats. my la, the hood and without the bell, you don't have anything at all. this to his father's boat is grounded tuesday. we're supposed to put her traps in a water, and we have no boats, and we don't know the crab is going to be good and we can't get bait it's. it's

going to be a bad situation. fort myers residents are taking stock, counting their blessings, as well as their losses. david yoakam stood and waited in his apartment for hours. as the water rose to chest level, he was with his neighbors, whose small child was in a raft. we decided we were going to pull the boat out when i got this. hi. it got about that time. so we never had to pull the boat out. brothers over, he was planning to move out of state next week. now he and his dog are sleeping in a tent, his vehicle destroyed. it's not just personal property, but also infrastructure that now leads fixing from power lines to water mains to roads and bridges. at peak 2700000 people were without electricity. and here in a county of 3 quarters of a 1000000 people, there is no clean drinking water. further inland flood waters continued to rise

even after the storm had left taking any by surprise. well, we saw in central florida was more standing water than what we saw in southwest florida, where the big storm surge came in. it's just because of the way they have the, the, the, of the clues sachi, the m r. i mean the sand it for whatever reason that really dissipated over the last 24 to 36 hours. with the death toll still climbing hurricane in is expected to be one of the costliest storms to ever hit the united states. kristin salumi al jazeera fort myers, florida. elsewhere it's 4 days since hart and he had knocked out cuba, national grid, even 11000000 people in the dark. many still don't have any power. this has sparked to night of rad protest neighborhoods in havana, where residents of head out with waiting. barbara and go pot reports. ah, days after hurricane is not cut power across cuba,

many neighborhoods as til in darkness. but these protest her st. they don't understand why. since their homes went in its path with. 2 the site around did not pass through here. we have spent 4 or 5 days without any power . is like being in hell. that's where we are out on the street and will keep coming out. oh, they blame the pockets on the government, not the storm. and their eject and government calls for patience. you're going to go about that that home, that protesting is a right. but only when those responsible from state or government are not doing their jobs. but under the current circumstances, protests are not helping. but instead slowing down our mission and our wish to restore power, as soon as possible, officials could have been with the electricians. instead, they're talking to the media. electricity had been restored to about half of the capital by friday. and police is deployed to controlled demonstrators. grandma, the one, the formal solid corner. the problem is that when people protest,

yes they put on the light, look, they're turning them on here. but our children's food is already rotten and they don't have anything to eat. they don't have cold water, they have nothing but the people are coming out with class. the people will not stop because of the police. a lot of what is the communications have been black tap for the 2nd day in a row. internet watchdog say is probably a government attempt to stifle dissent. the government says power will be back across havana this weekend, but the rest of cuba is still expected to be in the talk. barbara and grandpa are to sarah or here thousands have been out on the streets and protests across the u. k. demanding action attack of the countries cost of living crisis rallies took place in london, leaves glasgow. manchester birmingham and belfast demonstrations came on the day. major energy price rises came into effect millions of people, the enough is enough can.
