to ukraine after visiting moscow in the days to come top of the agenda being the security of this nuclear power. because if something like this happens that it could have devastating effects. russia is saying that this has appointed a new director chewed up plan and a to that plant and is asking the grades to how to co operate, heaping aids secure. but this is something that does scare people here. we've been chatting with them throughout the past few weeks about it. people have bought their iodine tablets at the government is send as send as issued some guidelines about what to do or not do in case of at least coming out of that nuclear blog. and is also there is an app for people to check on a daily basis. we chose the level of radiation at the moment, the level of radiation is in degree. and so nothing suspect happening. but certainly when these messiah attacks happen, targeting the residential buildings,

tuesdays miss all over japan. north korea has justified its flurry of launches. north korea says it's only been carrying out countermeasures against the provocations by the us and its allies had damage the return of the aircraft. carrier strike grew as a threat to peace on the korean peninsula. with all sides, it seems willing to raise the stakes in this continuing standoff. robert bride al jazeera, so the white house is criticizing the decision by the wells oil producers, to cut output, saying that it is short sighted, and will heard the global economy air bag. clos grape, which includes russia and saudi arabia, will now drop production by $2000000.00 barrels a day from november. well, prices have risen slightly since the announcement took place on wednesday. prices had dropped in the last 3 months, ever fears of a global recession. and saudi energy minister said the cuts were necessary. our

priority now is stabilizing marked. now, we could be accused of wanting to influence market in a negative way. everybody's broke, if we'll and others, we'll see how we conduct our sales in the months to come like canada has more than this from washington dc reaction has been one of quietly contained fury, the national security advisor making very clear that the opinion of the white house is that saudi arabia, as a member of opec class, is siding with russia in this. this is seen as almost a betrayal by saudi arabia and its role within opec. the decision has been decided that described as short sighted, but there's also been a voice from congress, which is not in session at the moment. however, senator chris murphy close to

a close ally off president biden, saying that one of the reasons why the us maintain this relationship with saudi arabia despite delegations of human rights abuses, despite the ongoing war and yemen was because it would rely on saudi arabia as an ally, president biden went and visited saudi arabia in july to buttress the relationship between the 2 countries, which had been to a rocky period. but now you've got a us senator saying that all of this was political capital wasted. given the fact that saudi arabia now backing russia against the united states, at least that is how it is viewed. so certainly there's going to be an impact on the relations between the u. s. and saudi arabia, in the weeks and months to come the race to green energy is coming to the us for some oil rich developing nations. nigeria is africa, the biggest export of oil. and it isn't ready to go over. it's huge reserve that a fuel consumption, economic growth for more than half

a century. i'm interest reports from port tockets. this off shall rig pumps, oil and gas off the coast of nigeria. for more than 60 years, petroleum has been the pillar of its economy. and for men here, live without oil is simply unimaginable. we know for sure that even by 2050 i wasn't where was still a count for my 50 percent of energy and production. and you were not me, that wasn't well is not going to go away. but to going to be combated to much more cleaner enough. well, and that is really our focus. petroleum contributes more than half of nigeria budget, and more than 90 percent of its flooring. it's jennings, expert, se ditching, it could devastate the economy. the world banks has 9 units dependence on oil is greater than that of many other major producers. more than half of africa, 1300000000 people have no access to power. here in australia, the figure is more than 45 percent of resist. yesterday they want to increase

sneak into it stumble, but breezy through the boss. first, the aegean into the east are met, i think, anywhere in the cell. and we'll see those wind gusts to about 40 or 50 kilometers per hour. unsettled for spain's east coast, round the valley erics as well. and then we've got this bubble of heat around severe temperature at 32 on thursday. off to africa, we go, could see some big downpours northern sections of algeria, weather alerts and played there. and there has been some flooding around a booge up, but the rain is pepin up southern niger area beneath, toko and into gone. and toward the south and south africa. it's all about that heat wave toward the northeast in nearby moves and beat. and i'll put you at $37.00, there's wind shift around on friday. so just a high of 30. the frank assessments, if the united states really felt that you're running a good program, was there to build a new feel with informed opinions. i believe that our media and that sort of agenda

kremlin, with links to the russian military. there is actually a russian military submarine which has a name, a larosa, which her is sir patron by also sponsored by rosa. so this, 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 his 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 diamonds or i'll ross thought, and it's c o. c, diamonds coming from russia. they have blocked on these diamonds because they're,
