north korea fires another missile just hours after the us, japan and south korea whole joint military drills. ah, hello i mariam demising in london, you're watching al jazeera also coming up on the program. the world's top oil producers agree to cut production and boost prices. white houses accuses him of aligning with russia. present, let him a push in signs, a lot annexed for ukrainian regions, while his forces flee frontline areas give calls at the act of a collective madhouse. and hunger and desperation in somalia, where millions restoring what could become the worst famine in a generation. ah

hello, welcome to the program. begin with breaking news us out from north korea, which is reportedly fired, another ballistic missile, according to south korea's joint chiefs of staff and japan's coast guard, the u. s. south korea and japan have been carrying out military drills in response to an earlier launch out. the u. s. navy's flagship aircraft carriers heading for the sea of japan for training with the south koreans. us fighter jets have also carried out drills with the japanese air force he earlier nuclear capable, ballistic missile 5 by north korea was the 1st to fly over japan. in 5 years, the united nations security council held an emergency meeting earlier to discuss tuesdays incident. our diplomatic editor james bayes has more from the un. the facts are clear so far this year there have been $23.00 occasions when north korea,

as far as the cruise or ballistic missiles, the latest lodge went around 4600 kilometers over the north of japan. despite that was no unity of the security council. for u. s. sam baset at calling out to other council members. the dpr k has enjoyed blanket protection from 2 members of this council. these 2 members have gone out of their way to justify that he dpr kay's repeated provocations and block every attempt to update the sanctions regime. in short, 2 permanent members of the security council have enabled kim young on this note out . she was talking about russia and china in the meeting, russia accuse south korea, japan and the u. s. had been irresponsible for carrying out recent military drills . china said that the crux of the issue was mistrust and confrontation between

north korea and the u. s. which it accused of double standards aah! on the white houses accused in alliance of the wilds top, well, producers of aligning with russia after they agree to cut their output to boost prices. the opec plus group, which includes russia and saudi arabia, says it will reduce production by $2000000.00 barrels a day. but the last is called the move short sighted and misguided sang, or hon. the global economy feel price is skyrocketed in the spring when russia invaded ukraine. that dropped in the last 3 months, other fears of a global recession. u. s. officials say they want to keep oil prices low to deprive russia a revenue. a cut in production could also lead to higher prices at petro pumps. is what saudi arabia's energy minutes that to say after that meeting. our priority now

is stabilizing market. now we could be accused of wanting to her influence market in a negative way, as everybody's blog will and others. we'll see how we conduct ourselves in the months to come. well, that meeting in vienna is the 1st time opec plus members have met in person. since the start of the corona virus pandemic, dominate canes been monitoring developments 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 as 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. say 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 that the price of fuel at the pumps will go up also or the international benchmark benchmark brent. nor see crude was up almost 2 percent climbing above $93.00 following the opec plus announcement. this sort of year brown price is close to $79.00 a barrel. it soared above a $123.00 in march. 2 weeks after russia invaded ukraine, that was the highest level in 14 years. by the beginning of this week, brown levels were 88.8. 6. prices have been steadily falling over the past month. or mike, hannah joins us sir, live now from washington. tell us more about how the white house has been reacting . mike well, it has reacted in a slightly restrained way, describing the opaque decision. as a short sighted that we put from the national security adviser,

as well as the presidential press spokesperson. but behind that term, phrase there is a great deal of anger within the bite and administration with this opaque decision . it's created political problems for president biden, but it's also been seen as grateful by some elements within the united states, particularly within congress. the biden administration has flat out accused opaque and saudi arabia, in particular, of siding with russia in terms of this voices from congress happening saying that one of the reasons why the u. s. maintain relations with saudi arabia, despite allegations of human rights abuses, despite the war in yemen, was so that the saudi arabia could help us when it needed assistance in some form sen, chris murphy, a close ally of president biden, making this point very clear saying that the u. s. as wasted to political

expenditure on saudi arabia to literally be stabbed in the back by this opec decision. so a great degree of anger behind the scenes within the bite and administration and within congress as well. how much pressure does this per on president joe biden, politically, inside his own country? well, you looking at a matter of weeks before the mid term elections, and one of the factors that will be crucial in that is the price of gas. now, president biden has been attempting to bring down the price, which was hitting record highs a few months ago. and in fact, he has succeeded in doing so by tapping from the strategic oil fund, putting some 10000000 barrels a month into the u. s. economy. this though, is a finite situation because the strategic oil found is now at its lowest since 1984. now, president biden has been trying to balance lowering that gas price together with

carrying out sanctions against russia for its invasion of ukraine. now this was a real tightrope, he was walking, but now the opec decision has basically left this in tatters. and now president biden has to acknowledge the fact that the price of gas is likely to go up, despite the fact that he's going to continue to inject barrels from the strategic oil fund into the u. s. economy. but this, in turn, could have major political ramifications come the mid terms in november. so this opec decision has something that goes far beyond an increase in the price of gas. it could have a direct political impact on the fortunes of president biden. and his democratic party. thank you very much. mike kenner, in washington, marcia's present, led him a prisoner signed the annexation of 4 ukrainian regions into law a week after staging referendums, the when is called illegal. ukraine's government has called it the acts of

a collective madhouse. cameron's in control in those regions, but to has shrunk even more in terms of the land. it controls compared to when the votes were actually held. because ukraine force had been pushing russian troops back. who's in says he hopes the situation will stabilize. meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of russians have been fleeing their country after moscow said it would mobilize $300000.00 additional troops, which in now says upon conscription would be delayed for some university students forks, but only loser. universally, the defense ministry has reported that a number of categories of our citizens do not need to be drafted as part of the mobilization effort. however, the relevant changes to the legal framework were not made in time. so the draft increased 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 have already issued a decree to day and it has been signed,

which makes these very adjustments to do well, the cranium present ramirez alan's, he says, as forces of recapture 3 more settlements in the house on region is a quick look at the 4 areas. russia says it has annexed in the east and the south of ukraine. the area in red shows what russian forces actually control our desert. honda abdul, hamid is in cleveland. he not far from the southern front, lie way acquaintance energized by keith's recent victories. is a b how selectivity a warehouse, a wave of the frontline full of supplies to be delivered for those who survived war and occupation? food basic necessities and glass ripley shattered windows as winter approaches. venice florida. when when's out in a broad unit. this is al storage area for humanitarian aid. while it's all for the liberated areas in the castle region, it's dangerous for the volunteers. they could be shelling still. that's why we

deliver directly to homes. so we don't have gatherings with 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 vladimir 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 and in 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. d ukrainian army advanced from the north through the vast plains. filming that each step of sweats called was thought of feeling. here entering the village of status senior, hoisting the ukrainian colors and removing the russian claims to land. like here in

nova be 3 cup of this woman says, i have been waiting for you for so long. why her son is one of for 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 controlled regions. with them a proposal what they were going to continue to document. all that's happening is the collaborators and the locations. it's our protest, her of our, our 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. but if so, give me re, will continue to be the limit is as important as military achievements. ukraine conveying the message that people there when never forgotten. that of that, i mean,

oh jeez eva creevy in southern ukraine. or the russian journalist who protested the invasion of ukrainian alive news bulletin, has escaped house arrest. marina of any cover is facing charges of spreading fake news. journalist interrupted a flagship news bulletin earlier this year, holding a sign saying, stop the war and they're lying to you. she was late to put under house arrest for protest outside the kremlin, where she held opposed to the cold president putin a murderer. she was due to appear in court, but as posted a video on telegram sang, hooting should be put on trial, and not her puts an electronic tag like this on president vladimir putin. it's he not i who should be kept away from society and tried over the genocide of the people of ukraine and the mass killing of russian men. so have for you on the program, a poor 150 people have been killed and anti government protest across iran,

white in the crack down demonstrations continuing. also he was shocking and surreal and stunning in every way nobel prize for chemistry is given to 3 scientists. and developing a way to snap molecules again, like like, oh great. ah ah, it's for rain across chinese yangtze river valley high for one. here's the details on thursday. that's certainly kate back those temperatures for move on to shanghai and in japan, temperatures of also fallen off. we've got the showers around tokyo for hiv, 20 degrees. there's been some weather alerts for japan. so kado island, just because of how low temperatures have been. now back to china, some of this what, whether it's flushing out some of that heat that we've had toward the southeast of

china. we're in some spots. exceptional heat temperatures as of late in the forty's, but that is now all starting to change. se asia for northern sumatra, island toward the west. as while there's been some flooding and landside stair now, i think the heaviest rain on thursday will be southern smart tra rate across java and up western side of bornea. lot of rain on the cards for eastern australia, particularly new south wales state. this includes for sydney, which is creeping closer to scene. it's what is your on record, number of systems in the by winding up moving further toward the east and some models are showing sydney by the time we get into early next, we could pick up to about a 100 millimeters of rain in time for new zealand south island around danita and lot of snow. here are anywhere from about 20 to 30 centimeters see later. ah, the 18 months after mid march,

military cool. the balance of power is shifting us. thousands of pro democracy activists join forces with ethnic minority insurgents forming a united front to take all the military. people in power goes behind the scenes to reveal growing optimism that the coalition of peoples defense forces could transform the country's future. that for mia mars from florida on jessica lou. ah, welcome back. watching al jazeera ally from london, the main stories now is the us south career in japan, carry out military trails and the sea of japan. north korea is reported

a fight another to short range ballistic missiles. according to south korea's joint chiefs of staff and of japan's coast guard. roches present regime of fusion assigned the annexation of 4 ukrainian regions into law a week after referendums that the un cold illegal. but the areas under the carmen's control and those regions has shrunk, compared to when the votes held new coins present. want to miss lensky says, is forces, if we capture 3 more settlements. the hearse on reaching on wednesday, lensky says you quite as may powerful influences in the south in the past week. well now we go to reports coming out of became a foster countries new military that abraham tara has been officially appointed. president tory seize power in a qu last week. it was the 2nd come the keen a fast. so this year, tory met leaders from the regional block eco ass. on tuesday later said, he would respect the democratic transition time on already agreed between the man he deposed paul on read amoeba and eco ass, tori,

as also agree to honor the countries international commitments we go to somalia, now a famine is expected to be declared in the country within weeks of 1st significant famine declared anywhere decade the drought, the country is experiencing is the worst. any one there can remember. for rainy seasons over 2 years have failed. the 5th rainy season has begun and it's expected to fail as well. the 6th is due early, next year in i to nation, says that since january last year, more than a 1000000 people have left their homes in search of food or humanitarian assistance . at least half a 1000000 children are risk of dying from malnutrition. ash marlborough, now it boards, it's been a prolonged drought in somalia. some of its regions haven't seen rain in 2 years. desperate for food, water, and grazing for their cattle. thousands of people are fleeing their homes,

walking long distances under the scorching sun where hammered a hammer did a year and his family left their coastal city. the 60 year old says he had to walk more than a 1000 kilometers to get to this desolate camp, hoping to get food and shelter a little by the national hell off of that than otherwise. if you walked on distance out of here, you will see lots of bonds with lots of animal bones piled up on the top of each other. from all the corners, the side of these ones will shock you. begin to look not only here, but toward the region. samaya is one of the poorest countries in the world battered by decades of violence, war and political instability. this drought could beats worst yet. the un says the crises could be similar to the 2011 farm in which killed more than a quarter of a 1000000 people. half of them children thousands have died so far. mann latricia

is killing children every day. he tells other people from 4 days ago and came away later was not even a laugh. the 3rd was moved in and it was a bit of cautious. will it be taking that with us headed the started on put on medication. and that's where the at this there because is that we can not an improvement. the situation is critical. aid workers sometimes take the limited resources from the hungry to treat those who are starving. so molly's blame the russian invasion of ukraine for depleting international aid. the used to receive every year and for soaring food, rices, because we were not always in the real house. there were between ukraine and russia has worse industry ration of oil and wheat, which are not available. we bring to food all the way from mogadishu and the prices have skyrocketed since our land is dry and unproductive. the most dust birds live

in central and southern bars of somalia, under the control of a chabad. the un blames the armed group for contributing to the 2011 famine, by deliberately blocking of burning a deliveries on targeting aid workers for the time being and until aid arrives, hundreds of thousands will have to deal on their own with cholera mondor tuition and starvation hush about butter al jazeera until at least 5 people have been killed. another 10 and missing after heavy rains and over flying dam is triggered floods in gonna thousands of people have been displaced in many homes, either under water or completely destroyed. a gone or water company started letting water out, and the widget down near the capital at cra to save the structure from collapse. at least 5 water treatment plans have had to be shut down because water levels have exceeded capacity. what you as president joe biden is saying that climate change has to be addressed on

a visit to florida when he went to see the devastation caused by power can in at least 84 people are confirmed to have died off the storm, hit the fort myers area last week, i took a helicopter flight over the damaged areas. he also met with victims and florida governor, run desantis, pledged long term support to the region. today we have one job and only one job. and that's to make sure the people are florida, get everything that they need to fully thoroughly recover. we're one of the few nations in the world that on a basis of crisis we face, we're the only nation that comes out of it better than we run into it. and that's, we're going to do this time around. come out of it better because we're, this is united states of america, and i emphasize united now human rights groups of accused iranian authorities of using excessive and lethal force against anti government, protested human rights watch as a 150 people in our 4th have been killed in

a crime down in a video on social media school girls in city of shiraz, shout member, the best seizure prime military forces who have helped authorities quell the process. the death of 20 tier of mass armenian police custody a spark more than 2 weeks among rest, with young women at the full front of the demonstration. meanwhile, in the capital tower on pro governments of boards have held a counter rally. the demonstration was announced on state media and mass text messages was sent from the authorities. people taking part condemned the wave of protest against the death of a mias himes exhibitionists. now the e u is saying is going to continue to important diamonds from russia is by announcing its 8th round of sanctions on moscow. following the invasion of ukraine, diamonds are not part of those measures, even though as mounting pressure from some member states. sasha, what reports from antwerp and belgium, which is a hub for the diamond industry. the belgian city of antwerp is the world's

oldest diamond trading hob. most of the world's diamonds passed through it. a quarter of them are from russia. bind by. i'll rasa a company that's part owned 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 also sponsored by rosa. so this is just one example of maybe the clearest example of direct links and between the military apparatus and indeed the company and who had trade with our rasa 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 that our final c, b, u 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 its multi $1000000000.00 industry, despite growing pressure within belgium and the block to stop the trade. i think it

is important that we also sanction diamond's or i'll ross thought, and it feels to diamonds coming from russia. they have blocked on these diamonds because they're, the revenues are used directly or indirectly to support to war are on ukraine. the prime minister of belgium says that 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 trading haps that do not follow sanctions or that have no sanctions and keep their training relations sir, 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, antoine belgium, and how well prizing chemistry has been awarded to 3 scientists have pioneered the building of molecular compounds. it's known as clate chemistry and uses the principle of lego blocks to link molecules. it has many applications including modified plastics and potential pharmaceuticals. such as cancer treatments, police reports from stock on the golden session hall at the royal swedish academy filled a pearly as the science world waited to her who would be awarded chemistry's greatest prize, and 900000 dollars. as it turned out, 3 would become nobel laureates. than marks, morton bell dull and americans carolyn, betsy and barry shop las. they received a price for the development of click chemistry, and by your talk,

an old chemistry shop. las joins an elite group of 5 to have $12.00 nobel prizes. the 1st coming in 2001. now it's his discovery of a way of joining molecules together. that has helped him and his fellow chemists to the 2022 award. the work of these re laureates, spots 8 revolution in their field. and it started with a little click like this quick chemistry is now being tested in targeted cancer pharmaceuticals and already has a host of uses in health, agriculture, and industry next to works pretty much like her to buckles that you snapped together. and you can attach to these buckles, so different types of belts essentially. then once you have a number of building blocks, you can, you can be loma sanity at a mites petals he who made that possible in living organisms. a she pioneer bio orthogonal chemistry function. this is dunning shock, right?

i mean, it was the at the chair of the nobel prize committee and his colleagues in the background call to say, congratulations. i thought, you know, like a weird sarielle mounted battles. he also helps to somewhat right to the gender imbalance. she's only the 8th female chemistry laureate, alongside a $182.00 men. the former president of the royal swedish academy of sciences. christina mulberry believes inequality is being reduced. do i think when the sector politically active in the death is there will be more when it's because more women at the coming professors making breakthroughs? no one can ever think though a chosen because they are a woman. what we can do is encourage more to be nomination, because without that, you can't win a nobel prize. if a mom behind the click chemistry and bio orthogonal chemistry involved processes far beyond the reach of human vision, the nobel award has at least put them on their pioneers. finally, in the public high.
