a united front against russia and to address the energy crisis ahead of winter is part of a new alliance. the european political community 27, you members and 17 non members have been meeting in prague services reports from the check capital. this gathering aim to show how isolated russia's president has become. the 1st meeting of the european political community brought unlikely countries to gather like armenian, as obey john, as well as candidates for you. membership like ukraine and the u. k. returning to the european stage, after breaks it, what we wanted to achieve in meeting here in prague is to bring together $44.00 sovereign states. which see europe as a single entity, whatever of that particular forms for political or others. to discuss among equals a sovereign states of problems that we face in common. that's exactly what we need

. the group has no formal structure and some wonder if many more meetings will follow secretion. no, whether it's going to work or we have a european union, but not so many countries are members of european union. so the idea is to discuss their common issues that we have currently the security issues that we have on the european continent. and i think it's very important that we have the same views, the same views, for example, on how to bring energy prices down. a thing to clear measure studio gas markets, the energy markets ish, that these 40 for leaders are completely aligned term and have to joint or bishop 2 copies measures to bring down the garages. they may agree on bringing down prices, but so far, no consensus has a merch on how to do this. package is costing hundreds of billions of euros to help cope with high energy costs. like the one announced by germany have flat to friction or all member states can take their own decision. we just indicate that

some instruments and answer changes are which, which are proposed by some member states are very bad for the competition on of, on the, on the europe on market. and we wanted always to avoid it. and this is my, i believe that we have to work out common solutions. a shared condemnation of russia's invasion and ukraine has brought together the leaders of the whole european continent here and proc, apart from russia and bellows. but besides sending a signal to president putin, they also want to show that they can come up with a common plan to deal with crippling energy prices. step, fasten al jazeera and proc officials in sweden have confirmed that last month a gas leak from the noise stream. the pipeline was caused by explosions. now, concerns of possible russian interference in norway, the top of gas supply to the european union and the u. k. journal reports from us

there. while european nato allies have focused on arming ukraine against russia, they've neglected their own vulnerabilities closer to home until that is vast. quantities of methane gas began bubbling to the surface off the coast of denmark and sweden, in the baltic sea last week, under water explosions caused damage to both north stream pipelines built to supply russian gas to europe. nato, called it sabotage. and despite a lack of hard evidence pointing to russian involvement, the alliance has warned that it will respond to an attack on allies key infrastructure. and there is real concerned that the next target could be norway. now europe's main gas supply in russia's place. prime minister, jonas gar store, has confirmed reports of an identified drones cited over key energy installations when russia is running out of options. they are. so what could they do to my

mind going off to the infrastructure is, what are the things they could do at norway's museum of resistance? appropriately enough, we meet defense experts when hold smock, he spent years studying soviet and then russia strategic behavior. russia is left to basically one him why public lou weapon and that is the export of gas to europe, which has been severely restricted. so it gives the signal of that. okay, if you continue supporting ukraine as you do well, we have the options to actually cut your gas supplies from, from, from norway. if indeed it was sabotaged by russia that disabled the nordstrom pipelines and that may never be proven. of course, it would be a classic act of hybrid warfare designed to damage critical infrastructure with

maximum deniability and limiting therefore, any direct response. no way is preparing for what may come next. deploying its military, including f, $35.00 fight patrols to protect oil and gas installations. denmark, sweden and finland are also increasing surveillance. but nato allies will know that such hybrid measures are many and varied with potential targets, including not just oil and gas infrastructure, but also computer systems, electricity grids, and thousands of kilometres of undersea internet cables they can't possibly protected all go to whole al jazeera, ukrainian authorities, say at least 4 people have been killed in russian strikes on residential buildings in the southern city of his apparition. the injured include a 3 year old child, ukraine's foreign minister mitchell collaborate, has accused russia deliberately striking civilities to some fear. moscow claims to

because the russians are using these as 300 missiles that go undetected, is considered one of the most efficient anti aircraft missiles, systems. all go walk up to the sound of it. emotions come pouring out, no worry about what's to come. russia says it as a next is every jerry gin after a referendum illegal under international law. but it doesn't control the regional capital. that's why it's coming under attack. se anyann said he, they fled the russian control barked. they said the air strikes are meant to scare people away from the city. most of the people here are russian speakers. president vladimir putin says this war is in their name to protect them. but he couldn't protect them on the russian army without the hamid visit as a police job. on wednesday, the russian president signed the decree to annex for reasons of ukraine, but his forces continue to lose ground as ukraine push his counter offenses in the

south and east, where a challenge has sent this report from cave. a warning song view as may find the image is distressing. ukrainian soldiers crouch ready waiting for the armored vehicle to appear. but it hasn't come to kill them. whites clothing hangs from its gun. this, according to ukrainian officials, is a russian surrender. whether or not it was coordinated the ukrainians don't want any surprises. the b m. p. 's crew are quickly bound a rare glimpse of ukraine swift cancer offensive in cats on region. like it's other advance in the northeast. large swathes of territory have been recaptured from the russians, but ukraine's leadership is keeping operational security tight. regina the muzzle naturally. i cannot disclose the specific issues discussed at the meeting uses. but most of the report adopted plans and approved documents would definitely be delight

ukrainians. and they will definitely upset the occupiers because they will be held responsible for all the evils nasa done yet screven in the northeast. after months of occupation and days of fierce fighting lea man is back in ukrainian hands. no long forced a cow from shells. civilians must now key for aid, many of lost their homes. others described their prisons of fear, either to forward to them as you rightly the street not paying attention to the russians. one of them suddenly goes a yacht. stop right here. what are you writing here? full of another i answer, this is my home language. i writes as i will which additionally i need to go to my parents so he answers me. i dont want to see you here again say other that's how i have to sit at home for 3 months and not go out. i have a holiday. ukraine's national guard, his release footage. it says is the fight for the man, the date and location on verified,

russia. there is a lot of questions being asked here. russia, a lot of criticism leveled against the field commanders the way the operation is being conducted. and the russians seem to be waiting for answers from the highest command in the land. but in the meantime, the keys are not talking about defeats. they are talking about tactics and a war that is going to continue for a long time until russia, eliza, its goals. they speak sometimes about the history of this country, saying that hitler was also trying to occupy russia as well as a napoleon. and in both occasions, a russian troops ended up in berlin and parties. so they was talking about a long, a long, protracted fight until they achieve their goals. so the heads here on al jazeera,

town. little boy, had it different states mas shit made square. how we're old. that story. witness. wake up, a mass out shame. ah ah. here without just hear a reminder of our main stories. now thailand is in shock and morning after at least 38 people, including 23 children, were killed in a gun attack. a former police officer facing a drug charge attacked and day care center before killing his wife,

child and from self. leaders of $44.00 european nations have met in proud to discuss the fall out from russia's invasion of ukraine. they want action on soaring energy costs needed before winter sets. cranium authorities say at least 4 people have been killed in russian strikes on residential buildings in southern cities for asia. the injured include a 3 year old child. he was present, joe biden has announced his pardoning thousands of americans who were convicted of marijuana possession on the federal laws is also urging state governors to issue similar pardons convictions on the state laws west coast now to she had returned say in washington, d. c, a, she had what is the main name of this thing? the white house says because congress has been stuck as far as legislation on de criminalizing, or legalizing marijuana is concerned. the president thought that he was time to act,

given that this congress is soon to come come to an end. so we have this, this moved by the president to paul gould. those who were federally convicted of the simple possession of marijuana. but it must be pointed out that is very rare for people to be convicted of a single charge of simple possession of marijuana. no one is going to be released from prison as a result of this, the white house says no one is currently serving a federal simple possession of marijuana charge. but, but what the white house says they're hoping to do is for those who were convicted or have in the past, been convicted of this charge and, and put in prison or jail, it will reduce the hurdles they have ones that are released as far as employment housing and education, for example, so that someone, if this isn't actually even expunged from that, from the criminal record that has to get to the course. but there is now an official presidential problem that the white house, because a relatively modest that has to be said for how many people they think are going to

be affected by this. at least 6500 people, they think. but honestly, thousands more here in dc because we don't fit under federal federal law here. so it's a, it's a $6500.00 plus people that i think will be affected by this. in addition, where the president says he's urging state governance to issue similar partners and it is the majority. the majority of possession offences occur in, in the states themselves. have over having said that there. when asked on a background cool white as the ministration official effectively admitted, he's not actually going to do very much on this. is it? he's actually going to cool state governors will say, look, the time has come for you to pardon? pardon, people on simple possession of marijuana charges. and in addition to that, they, the president will also be as also off the health and human services department here in the us and the attorney journal to look at the federal classification for marijuana. marijuana is still classified on the same level as heroin in the us. so he's asking the, the visa authorities, than to look at this to see whether

a difference or different schedule is more appropriate. and, but that even then actual administration official was asked on a background call. so what's the timeline we're looking at? they admitted it was probably going to take a rather long time. so she had given what you say, then how might this play out politically for joe biden? i think there might be a hope that at a time when certain demographics, young people, people of color or other disillusion and joe biden. and this is a particularly popular popular issue amongst those demographics. this will show that he's meeting his campaign, promises from 2020, although it's always been, had we note of the bible is, was alone and 2020 monks of democratic candidates in not calling for legalization of marijuana. just decorum d criminalization. ease is very staunch on drugs. easily is not very, very liberal on, on this issue, but the point is across the board, democrats, republicans, independence, legalization is popular. so many states have already done. so 19 states and

d. c. r, audi, legalize recreational use. over 30 states have got some legal medical marijuana is statutes in place. it is a popular issue. syrup of policies headlines with perhaps lic saves justices a bit more than it appears. and what might help him as of suggest that he's living up to his promises. he's being the bold president, he promised to be in 2200 live in washington dc forest as she hesitancy. thank you . lanesha curse, his democratic party strategist, and the former state policy director for the free trial justice institute in the u . s. she said it's very significant live the majority of individuals who are in the pre trial, things who are jail, to then pushed onto the prisons at the state level. these are individuals who do have minor drugs, are many of them, extremely young people, 1415 year old who get locked up for don backs and their life is essentially gone. they don't have access to education, they don't have access to, they can't get housing opportunities. they don't qualify for a lot of the assistance programs that are actually given to those who are lower

meanings because they have this drug charge on there. but that's a problem. in addition to listing, this is a schedule one drug. the problem with this is largely settled on the fact that president joe, by himself, has previously that many time that marijuana is a gateway drug, even though i and you know, a lot of scientists themselves have come out with that. that's entirely incorrect. i think that this is a shift in how the president feels on it, largely because again in the mid term year. but also because this is a shift in how the nation fee, marijuana, and this has been a long time in any criminal justice reform is an equity and rate issue. because black and brown communities are police more in black and brown. people and bodies are charged more serve a lot more time than those people in white community. with that being said, we know that the issue of marijuana used to be exact same across all community is just policing in black and brown new hire. so the penalty associated with it is also higher you foreign policy at chief, joseph burrell,
