lay the taunting is a criminal conspiracy against its members newly obtained documents, but deal members silenced, suspended, and full stack. my colon, this is unbelievable. free speech was shot down an exclusive investigation. the labor files ought to on al jazeera ah, ah ah, [000:00:00;00]

ah . vladimir putin formerly claims parts of ukraine as russian territory, but on the ground ukrainian forces are making games. ah, thank you for joining us. i'm several venue this is al jazeera live from doha. also coming up in the show, the opec plus alliance says it will cut oil production to increase prices. the white house calls it a short sighted move. a u. s. and south korea conduct military exercises in response to a missile test by north korea. i have 3 priority for our economy, growth growth. right? and the u. k prime minister lives trust defends her economic plan at

a party conference in bro. so russian president vladimir putin has signed into law, the annexation of 4 ukrainian regions a week after referendums that the un called illegal under international law. however, the kremlin control over those very regions has shrunk, compared to when the votes were held just a week ago. president putin says he hopes the situation on the front line will soon stabilize moscow plans to send 300000 mobilized troops to bolster its forces in ukraine. but putin said the planned conscription will be delayed for some university students. so even easily the defense ministry has reported that a number of categories of our citizens did not need to be drafted as part of mobilization effort. however, the relevant changes to the legal framework were not made in time. so the draft decrease submitted to the defense ministry and the government came out in

a way that did not represent the viewpoint of the defense ministry itself. so we have had to make adjustments to this document accordingly. i've already issued a decree today and it has been signed which makes these very adjustments. give you a mom in law vall, reports from moscow present, put into they also getting some reassurance to people who were confused about the mobilization, the details of that mobilization. we have seen mistakes being committed and acknowledged by the government itself. so what he said today is in the framework of giving the clarifications and the assurances and for instance, you know, official media staff, people with their 4 children. people who are older, who happy reserve, a spot are older than 65, and a long list of other people, including those who have a new disabilities and so on. for the russians. this is reassuring because there was a lot of confusion about who is going to be sent and who is not going to be sent on

the ground. those retreats by the russian army us are depicted as a part of a fight against the west itself. nato is involved according to rational fall. it is here. this is no longer a conflict with the ukrainian soldiers, but a conflict with armies of mercenaries or arm and armed with the most sophisticated weapons provided by nato. and there have been warnings over and over again by the russian authorities, for the nato should stop interfering in this war and should not, should, should stop supplying arms to, to the craze that was mom at vall. there. now let's look at ukraine's offensive in the southern croissant region. in the last few days, ukrainian troops have been pushing from the north along the nip ro river, and the village of david eve, bread, and from the west, out of mc, alive towards her son. several strikes on 2 major bridges across that nipple river

mean that russian forces have now limited means to withdraw. al jazeera is hud abdul. hamid reports now from cr v. re not far from the southern front line where ukrainians are energized by their recent victories. it's a be high selectivity, a warehouse away from the frontline, full of supplies to be delivered for those who survived war and occupation, food basic necessities and glass to replace shattered windows as winter approaches beneficial for the room and government board unit. this is al storage area for humanitarian aid to harm. it's all for the liberated areas on kasai region. it's dangerous for the volunteers. we could be shelling still. that's why we deliver directly to homes. so we don't have gatherings of people. there's a sense of urgency, as ukraine continues to inflict losses on russian troops in the south. some of the trophies of war now on display, on the grounds of the school,

where president voted near zalinski used to attend. ukraine has been announcing a sudden offensive since the summer, but then took everyone by surprise by making advances in the hockey region in the north east of the country. it was believed that the russians have been re enforcing their defensive lives in the south. even though recently, ukraine has managed to push through some of them and regain some territory. the ukrainian army advanced from the north through the vast plains, filming that each step. cuz when school was sort of feeling here entering the village of status, india hoisting ukrainian colors and removing the russian claims to land. like here in nova, bitter rica with this woman says, i have been waiting for you for so long. why her son is one of 4 regions. russia has a next a few days ago, claiming the majority of people there. well, well coming to move,

the rest says it's untrue. it's not his real name as he is the co founder of a network of activists known as the yellow ribbons who have been carrying acts of civil disobedience in russian control regions. mobile the whole proposal, what they were going to continue to document. all that's happening, the collaborators and the locations. it's our protest are activists record everything and sent it out. we do this to expose russian claims and hope it helps our authorities. we will continue to distribute flyers in the april very will continue to be the limit is as important as military achievements. ukraine conveying the message that people there when never forgotten. what does that mean? i'll just either creevy in southern ukraine and the white house says it is disappointed after oil producing nations agreed to a major output cut at a meeting in vienna, the opec group. that's 13 nations plus 10 other countries, including russia, will reduce production by $2000000.00 barrels

a day. starting in november. prices have dropped in the last 3 months over fears of a global recession. here's what saudi arabia's energy minister prince of dallas. he has been so mom had to say after the meeting, our priority now is stabilizing market. now we could be accused of wanting to, or influence market in a negative way. that's everybody's blog if we will, and others. we'll see how we conduct ourselves in the months to come. but with this situation of preventing situation, i think we ought to buy ourself a good period of working and focusing on how to attend to this market situation. and then hopefully some word later on 2030. as we hopefully can come out of this situation,

we will have the time and the days to 2. and again, early in the area to our to sell for some reality check. a dominant canes been monitoring the meeting from berlin. what is informing the decision that has been taken is the concern at the price of oil and the way it stands now compared to where it was just 23 months ago when it was 25 percent higher than it is currently and very much the sense coming from the countries making these decisions, that was what was uppermost in their mind. stability, but also an eye on those prices. but remember also that the united states government, which does not take part in, in these meetings, had said that it did not want to see output cut. so clearly there is to a certain extent, some idea idea of a collision course between these 2 attitudes. but from vienna, a very clear steer,

a cut coming in november and to 1000000 barrels a day being cut. there is a lag time as it were between the announcements of either a rise and output or a cut in output, and then the effect that it has on the price of oil. and then once that effect is known at the trading side of things, then there is the lag between that rise all cut in prices in trading. and the way it reaches the pumps where people get their oil, whether it's gasoline, petrol, whatever. and that is the question now in 3 weeks time said so some analysts though will be this lag will be over. people will know what, what sort of effect it will have. but given the fact that there will be fewer barrels of oil being pumped than logic suggests that the price of oil will go up. and that suggests of the price of fuel at the pumps will go up. also said the u. s . south korea and japan are conducting military drills in response to north korea's

miss. i launched on tuesday, the u. s. navies, flagship aircraft carrier headed to the sea of japan for training with the south koreans. us fighter jets have also carried out drills with japan. jung young's nuclear capable, ballistic missile was the 1st to fly over japan in 5 years. our white house correspondent kimberley hancock is with his kimberly the u. s. flexing military and diplomatic muscle. tell us more. yeah, that's right. well the united states is beth. it's request having a meeting of this to discuss the latest launch by north korea cross japan on tuesday of it's ballistic missile. there is that discussion taking place at the un security council, but we also know that joint exercises are taking place as well. the reason for this is that the united states is really using these short exercises with south korea, as well as japan, as

a show of force to really deter north korea from conducting any sort of similar launch. now the reason for this is that the united states is really trying to send a clear message, tried to limit this for ballistic missile program, will the same time trying to pursue diplomacy with north korea. to that end. the latest member of the, by the administration to really caution north korea towards any sort of action moving forward is the secretary of state antony blanket who was against strongly condemned tuesday's launch of that ballistic missiles saying that is in violation of un security council resolutions and international safety norms saying that this is deeply destabilizing that this is reckless, and also calling on north korea to see what it sees as being unlawful in dangerous acts. now, in the midst of all of this, the united states is once again reaffirming its iron clad defense of both as south

korea as well as japan. and again, emphasizing is shared goal, which is really to see a complete di, nuclear i zation of the korean peninsula. so a antony blink and saying that the right now the united states is working very closely with its partners and allies. and that's why we're seeing those conversations taking place up in new york at the united nations to really talk about how diplomacy can work. because right now the united states has extended that invitation for north korea to return to dialogue without pre conditions. so that so far has been rebuffed, and so as a result, while they are pursuing that track their ill again at the same time, continuing to demonstrate those shared defense capabilities and to show that show force. so this is really the sort of dual track approach that is designed to kind of try and de escalate tensions, even as they seem to be continually ramping up. i, kimberly thank you very much for your reporting. still ahead on al jazeera of

famine could be declared in somalia within weeks, a sign of dire consequences from the worst drought in decades. and why the european union has decided not to sanction imports of russian diamonds statements. ah, ah, with hello. the weather stays dry and fine across much of the middle east as per usual bits and pieces of cloud down towards the south. people cloud tools north as well just between the black sea and the cask and see him, you could see little line of the showers long spells if right is easing across the caucasus. and is also the case to just around curious, see some wet weather into cold weather coming through here. far to dry across the right peninsula. here with doha temperatures around the 40 degree mark over the next couple of days. and she's picking up a little more of a shamal as we go on to was to we can't fought to drive across much of north africa

they would have signed the you might have informed opinions. i believe that armenia again should have bilateral negotiations. we've been holding that for many times. critical living is the commonwealth now still is something that king charles will take home in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on al jazeera . oh, the the me you're with the or a are headlines this. our russian leader has signed into law the annexation of or ukraine regions a week out. the referendums that keven its allies called a sham president vladimir putin said he hoped that situation on the front line will

soon stabilize oil. producing nations have agreed to major output cut, the 13 nation ok group and 10 other countries, including russia will reduce production by 2000000 barrels a day from november. prices have dropped in the last 3 months. the u. s. south korea and japan are carrying out military drills in response to north korea's miss . i launched on tuesday young yags nuclear capable ballistic missile was the 1st to fly over japan and 5 year staying with our top story as fighting rages on the battlefield. ukraine is joining a bit to co host the 2030 football world cup. under this plan, ukraine would be part of spain and portugal joint bid for the tournament and host matches. but one of the groups where we challenged is outside a football training ground in your pin, just north of the capitol. keep opin where i'm at the moment back in the early weeks of the war was right on the front lines just outside the capital city. the

russians were here fighting was intense. it felt like the capital was in real danger. you can see the signs of the fighting everywhere in still. this is a sports club. you can see the shattered glass chart masonry. it's completely burned out, but turn the other way. the very different you life goes on football guys on. we come here to do some filming, with these kids playing football, getting coaching a page with spain and portugal for the well cup is obviously going to be the huge amount to this country, particularly if they win it. why? well, because sport is unifying. it brings a country back together off the national trauma, and it's a sign really of european solidarity. that's what the, the bidders portrait in spite of said about this, that it's showing european solidarity. it's also a way for ukraine to show to russia that it has its own sovereignty and its own

identity. if they win the bait of course, they'll be huge amounts of money and tourists coming and in 2030, some reasonable distance away from now. they hope the ukrainians that this war belong behind them. the u says it will continue to import diamonds from russia despite denouncing its 8th round of sanctions on moscow, diamonds and not part of those measures, even though there is mounting pressure for some member states. natasha butler reports from antwerp in belgium, which is a hub of the diamond industry. the belgian city of antwerp is the world's oldest diamond trading hobb. most of the world, diamonds passed through it. a quarter of them from russia bind by a rasa company that paul toned by the kremlin, with links to the russian military. there is actually a russian military submarine which has a name a little sir. which term is sir patron by or so sponsored by a rule so. so this, this is just one example,

may be the clearest example of direct links and between the military apparatus and indeed the company and to abs trade with al raso was condemned by the ukrainian president in a speech he gave to belgium's parliament. earlier this year. there are some that thing that russian diamonds sold in antwerp are more important than i were fighting . the you is rolling out another round of sanctions against moscow. but once again, russian diamond imports aren't part of it. some say that belgium has quietly lobby to protect his multi $1000000000.00 industry, despite growing pressure with in belgium and the blog to stop the trade. i think it is important that we also sanction diamonds or i'll ross thought, and it's yours to diamonds coming from russia. they have blocked on these diamonds because they're, the revenues are used directly or indirectly, and to support to war are on ukraine. the prime minister of belgium says the

country would not block a new sanctions on the import of russian diamonds, but the such a baron could potentially, how to europe, more than it could hurt russia, the spokesperson for antwerp, diamond industry says sanctions would mean job losses. and the trade moving away from belgium to places where ethical standards on lower india are new by her. those are the 2 other mean treating hofstadter that do not follow sanctions so that have no sanctions and keep their training malicious her as usual with her with russia. the debate over russian diamonds highlights the challenge faced by the u as he tries to increase pressure on moscow while seeking to protect the needs of its citizens. a delicate balance that's not always clear cut. natasha butler al jazeera and to work belgium. and british prime minister list has closed her party's annual conference with a pledge to pursue a relentless strategy of economic growth. she has spent only a month in office, but she's faced fierce criticism over tax cut plan that caused turmoil in the

a unified line. and unity is the key to electro success. it's been a torrid party conference for prime minister list trust. her response has been to try to normalize the turmoil, to portray the disruption as a natural, perhaps even a necessary consequence of the change that she says, britain so badly needs. it is too early to judge whether this trust is done enough to regain her authority and restore her credibility. the opinion polls still look bleak for the conservatives, but in the words of one departing delegates. it wasn't a disaster, whole brennan al jazeera birmingham. staying in the u. k, and an inquest has opened into the death of an unarmed black man who was killed by police in south london. 24 year old chris kaba was shot through the windscreen of a car in september. police had linked the vehicle. he was in to an earlier firearms incident, but cover himself was not a suspect. his family, his asked for
