i thank you for joining as the main bridge and the only railway line linking crimea with mainland russia has been damaged by an explosion. security camera footage appears to show a huge blast that the curse straits bridge early on sunday morning, saturday morning rather rushes national anti terrorism committee says it was caused by a trunk bomb. and that 3 people died. part of the road section of the coast straight crossing his mouth could laugh and a few canker train on the rail overpass can't fire. the bridge is a vital surprise route for russia's forces in a southern ukraine, especially the re link that's been disrupted. mom advice begins coverage with this report from moscow. this was the moment caught on amateur video cameras. at 607 am local time in crimea, purportedly showing a cargo track exploding on the motorway parallel to the catch bridge. the blast was so huge. flames and the breeze crossed to the other lane and reached

a fuel cargo train that was passing by russia. the government was quick to respond . the speaker of the state duma describe the incident of a terrorist attack and an act of war or russian president vladimir putin. has ordered an investigation committee be set up to find out who's behind it and how it happened. the curtsey bridge, also called the crimea bridge, is one of russia's most vital supply lines, and it's only land link with the crimean peninsula. it was opened by law to put in 2018, 4 years after russia and next the climate territory from ukraine. the explosion caused 2 sections of the bridge to collapse, and several trained carriages caught fire traffic on the entire bridge came to a standstill. the sea ferrying arts under the bridge was not effected,

but this will likely post several challenges for us as capabilities to supply its troops and other administrative operations in crimea. the catch bridge is less than 300 kilometers away from the nearest bottom flights in steps on. and here in mainland russia, no one seems to out the if you don't, is directly linked to the war and ukraine. and every finger of accusation is pointed at keith, homicide on the zillow, moscow. while we have to corresponding on this story this, i wrote a challenge, these in ukraine capital key. but 1st we go to mom, advise in moscow, mom and tell us about the reaction from the kremlin to this yes, fully the deputy chairman of the national security council dmitri meds yet if he said that or one of her, one of her ukrainian leaders talked about the need to strike on this particular

bridge, and he said, i wish she understands what the consequences are on what the retaliatory goals will be. in another statement, he actually deeper in july, he said that if this bridge or if crimea is hit, but we'll bring in the day of judgment to ukraine. so, i mean, this is a, an example of what's been, what's being said here, moscow. and also they are, as i mentioned earlier, the speaker of the state duma. he said this is an act of war, and it is a terrorist act against russia. this bridge is very strategic for russia. it's sealed it sir. efforts to integrator crimea. it was built during the last few years after the annexation of crimea by the russian federation. so it is considered

really a dangerous target to be hit. and of course they accuse ukraine is of being behind it. so if russia says this is an act of war, what can we expect their response to be or, you know, even before this sir attack or this or incident, russia has been gathering its forces again and trying to reverse lat moment. and that was created by the ukrainians during the last few weeks. are we've been hearing, of course we're we, we sought out mobilization of 300000 reservists over the last few weeks at the church and leader arms and got your of spoke to they about or 70000 soldiers being ready to be deployed into the, into the battle field and also to day an interesting development. a general sergey seraphic in who was commander of the russian forces in syria. for some time has

been appointed a now or to lead all the operations, or all the year, or the troops in their field. they are in what the actual latasha calls the special military operation in ukraine. so russia is trying to do what it can to show that it has the means to defend itself, and also to secure those territories that it has of he pied inside ukraine. thank you for that, ma'am. in val in moscow or less, get the view now from key that voice challenge joins a slide from ukraine's capital. so what are the grain saying about this se explosion on the case street bridge? robbery or no one has sir, specifically, and explicitly said that ukraine was responsible for this, not on the ukrainian side. anywhere though has been a lot of insinuation though. we've haves. tweets from mahalo padaya accuser of main

adviser to president lensky. he said that this bridge crimea, the crimea bridge, is the beginning that everything illegal must be destroyed. everything stolen must be returned to ukraine. everything occupied by russia must be expelled. a little later, he changed his message, a little bits, and instead suggested that the explosion was the result of infighting between the russian ministry of defense and the f. s. b and mercenary groups. or he pointed out that the truck that the russians said was carrying the explosives had come from the russian side of the bridge. other accounts though, here on line of been going with more humorous mean based content or the secretary, the national security and defense council. if he crane posted a tweet, which has the burning bridge on one sides of the screen, and marilyn monroe, singing, happy birthday mister president's. on the other side, of course,

friday was vladimir putin, the russian president's 70th birthday. the russians are saying, the minister transport that they think that this is going to be fixed pretty soon. that road traffic is already moving on the bridge and the rail side of the bridge will be functional from this evening. now i say that's ambitious. i would not want to be the 1st most risk driving cross that bridge, nor the 1st bus and on a train going across it, see that. but if it does take a while for them to fix it, then it will be a huge logistical headache for them. to supply that troops in the south of ukraine, it will make that more effort very difficult. indeed. it's also a huge prestige blow to the russians. this bridge was seen as a kind of chord that stitched crimea and the russian mainland together. huge personal project for vladimir putin that has now been severed, that court. i will have to see what the rational response is going to be to. thank

you for that really well we challenge live in keys. meanwhile, the u. n. nuclear watchdog says ukraine operation nuclear power plant has been forced to use emergency diesel generators as after shelling overnight. russia and ukraine have blamed each other for strikes that europe's largest nuclear plant. the facilities reactors are shot down, but still need external power to call and avoid a nuclear meltdown. the u. n. atomic agency chief has called free protection zone around the plants. in other world news, they are multiple protest taking place across iran against the government's handling of the death of a 22 year old woman in police custody last month. present abraham racy earlier face and ministration vessels. visits of female only university into iran. a wave of public unrest has hit iran since the death of massa, meaning she was detained by iran, so called morality police for breaking strips, dress called laws. let's get an update from resource said i was in tehran for his,

so the protest, her escalating resort notches in tehran, but across the country. whilst through the last 3 days, i have seen that situation was quite here, but to day that protest sparked across the country. once again, that the in internet run in care mun in carriage in and shiraz is for hand and introduce the progress is and, and that. so these are the largest cities in the run and there have been quite widespread. protests taken place to the day in this largest cities who of the country and enter into iran for the 1st time. we have seen that brought as to place around the the grand bizarre, one of the polish hot was set on fire. this is quite significant because at the grand bazaar into iran is an important economy. cobb, and any disruption in business in this area could further detail. we had already a struggling economy in, in, in the, in the country. so they did that last week. the epicenter of the process was you

were universities, however these week, by the beginning of that at the me week, we have seen that now there was again on the cities, particularly the ones that took place in kurdistan province had been violent. so there are the reports that some people have been killed by the security forces. however, the chief of police in dakota some proven, said that only one protest had been killed. so the, the on the other handed, the commander general of the security forces. the police forces in iran said the rush that he says that the bullets that have be shot to the protest as to they are not in use or in service or of the security forces. this bullet were shot by some of the poor cutters to, to further escalate the situation here. at this moment, it is quite difficult to really confirm this figures or all of this at this, this allegation. so in the universities as well, not only industries, but in the universities as well, there had been some crushes between security forces and the student. so today,

a president, or if you, randy brown, bracey has attended the ceremony in a zara university. and while he was delivering his beach that had been processed, the students started to put past in, in the same campus during his speech. he said that the did this, this is applaud to adjust iran and be running students m to professors, how foiled the enemies or for the enemies plot here. so this is the general understanding among the iranian officials. here. we can see this is being repeatedly see, it's a say it again, i am a gas or the believe that all of the recent developments or an international conspiracy against you or just iran and this protest or engineered and also provoked by the foreign powers over at this moment it is quite difficult to say that the protest or, or dying down. okay, very so thank you very much for that update re so sedar correspondent in tehran, there at least 2 palestinians have been killed and 11 others angel by israeli forces in the occupied west bank. there were targeted during and israel evade in

the janine refugee camp. local sources say one of the palestinians detained as a brother of a member of the islamic jihad group was wanted by these really ami, early on fridays, really forces shot and killed to palestinian teenagers in separate incidents in the occupied west bank. this footage appears to show is really forces meeting, palestinians who try to rescue an injured 17 year old boy. during one of the incidents in a village near pamela, a 14 year old was shot in the head near the separation wall south of how kalia it happened. option is really forces stormed the village. still ahead on the program a far i group organizes a protest against high energy prices in germany, but it could face opposition and we look at how he is drowned and heat wave in southern spain have affected on. if i

use high, they're good to have you along. so here's the situation in pakistan, snow levels and k, p, k. providence have lower to about 3500 meters. so there is some snow on the mountain tops there in time in the south. we've lost that seabreeze. so that allows for the temperature in karachi to get up to $38.00 degrees on sunday, out of season rain for the northwest of india. this includes the states of opera, con pradesh and delhi. and low temperature is here for this time of the year in new delhi, about 10 degrees below where you should be for this point in october, solid bands of rain, really stretching from bangkok into hutchins city. but really up and down vietnam central areas toward the north as well. so from denay to hanoi and dallas with frame for northern taiwan. this includes type paid with the height of $26.00 degrees. meantime we got 2 systems coming together,

bringing out the moisture over the korean peninsula, southern sections of japan, and the winds around this disturbance in some spots will go up to 80 kilometers per hour, some showers and forecast for tokyo, 24, just the other day. you had your coldest october day in any 8 years, just the high of 13 bio my. your fortunes are changing. you may even hit 30 degrees on tuesday as as winds shift out of the south was soon. ah ah ah, ah ah

new ah, are you watching al jazeera live from doha reminder of our top stories this hour. the main bridge linking crimea with mainland russia has been damaged, shafter and explosion. russian authority say it was caused by a truck bomb and that at least 3 people died in the blast. rushes defense ministry has announced that air force chief. so gates are off came will take charge of all russian troops in ukraine is the 1st official appointment of a single commander for russia's entire invasion force. and there are multiple demonstrations taking place across iran against the government. handling of the

death of a 22 year old, martha armine presently braimer, easy, earlier faced protest says he visited a female only university in tehran. now we're keener fossil where st. funeral has been held for soldiers killed by al qaeda linked fighters last month. an attack that accelerated the 2nd military call this year fighters had attacked a convoy delivering supplies to the north of a country. official say 10 of the victims were civilians and 27 were soldiers. 3 people are still missing. let's speak to sam med nickos, a journalist in why do go, sam? tell us about who has been buried today and what is the significance of this? you know right behind me. as you can see, the truck is unloading 27 coffins of soldiers who are being buried in the cemetery right over here. in total, $37.00 people were killed at 10 civilians. dozens of people were wounded in this attack on the transport policy that was going to the town of g,

but at the end of september, this was an important com where that was going because it's kind of been under siege for months. united nations, as are credible reports, the people are dying of malnutrition. this attack was seen largely by community leaders and members of the military as the former leaders undoing it was what i was sent to me, but according to many civilians, because the attack was so bad and people say that the military should have secured this congress better i spoke to people who have lost soldiers in that attack and they blamed me, but they think should have provided better military support and that they are glad that he's gone. and they're hoping that the next leader, tory will be able to secure the soldiers better. and so was the overall mood in volcano fossil following the, this very recent, 2nd one in 9 months the city was going to be the capital starting to resemble more of a calm than it was in the past few days. however, there are still sporadic protests. the other day there was

a protest outside the state broadcaster, people who are worried that you're already the new leader was going to be ousted so well. some people say that they're happy that there is a new leader saying that they will do anything to bring security to the country. other say, particularly people who fought with me, but i'm a part of the food that they should have given him more time. 8 months of not enough to see if people pick the country and they should have given more time. and now there is just unity among the soldiers. and that is a problem because it means that you don't necessarily trust. they say the people who are fighting with thank you for that med making walker to go at least send people have been killed in island after an explosion at a service station rescue cruiser. searching through rabble for victims in the village of chris ly. in donegal, a blast destroyed the patch or station and damage apartments. islands prime minister says the death toll is likely to rise nigh economists, a warning of an onslaught of public spending cuts in the u. k. after the government announced new plans for growth among the most at risk of those will depend on

social welfare, they face a possible reduction in financial support. ne vacaville for some london trying to get this. julian was told he had a brain tumor when he was just 28, and the prognosis wasn't good. it was a ton of diagnosis, so they gave me 6 or 12 months in 2016. now 34, he's out lived all medical expectations, but the form of football coach is unable to work and relies on state financial support spiraling prices. many now worries about how to pay for the basics. i'm trying to live as good as i can with whatever time i have left. but how can i do that from one of our my, the cost of living going on. you know, i'm having to choose between food for the week or petrol for hospital appointment. extra heating costs, medicines, travel, it all adds up and for people like julian can mean many hundreds of dollars more on top of their usual expenditure. and now add to that the cost of living crisis, the price of electricity, gas, and food rising steeply. little wonder then that

a quarter of all young cancer patients are now drowning in debt sleeping behind on mortgages, rent, and energy bills. village trust governments put economic growth center stage, announcing massive tax cuts to turbo charged, the economy paid for from debt funded boring. we need to get rated me thing. the markets vo reacted badly, the pound falling to an all time low against the dollar, with thousands of mortgage deals pulled as boring cost sword. but despite brandanae, it's top rate of tax cuts on the highest earnest to help calm the markets. most of the government's other $48000000000.00 in tax cuts remain intact. raising di warnings of big spending cuts to public services to help pay for it. and fears the government will fail to increase things like disability and unemployment benefits in line with inflation. children pensioners low in competitors and the severely disabled. so for the most, because they caught work to make up the difference between lower payments and

higher prices, it means more hunger. it means we'll have all going cold in our homes over this winter and also fundamentally will be more deaf as well. we now know the real cost of past austerity measures. findings released this week claim there were more than 330000 excess deaths linked to government cuts and public services and benefits introduced by previous british governments between 20122018 people dying premier truly because of reduced incomes, ill health, poor nutrition, and housing good boy, there is a human cause to some government decisions as vulnerable people, like julian brace for a difficult winter. i remind her that the health of the country's economy and its people are inseparably linked, neeve parker, al jazeera, london labor unions in the czech republic are holding a demonstration against the sewing cost of food and energy. this is a 2nd rally in the capital pride in 10 days. many protests as in september's

demonstration said their economic travel, sir, because of the east tough sanctions on russia after some nation of ukraine set bass and was at the rally in 5. just a labor union, a factory workers from all kinds of industries here from the metal industry textile industry, medical workers, and they're all complaining about the same thing in the theme of the protest rally against poverty. and that's exactly what people here are struggling with. and the czech republic has the largest, the highest inflation, one of the highest in europe, 70 percent of people are really struggling to pay their bills. so you hear a lot of flow bits about that. but also interestingly with the war, let's negotiate. we need a peaceful settlement, so that's what i'm going to discuss now with, my gosh, he's a foreign minister young help. i'm thank you for joining us. we're,

we've been hearing so about stop the war that we need to please. so solution with russia is that the only one of the themes that you are also here on, i think is one of the main seems one is against increasing poverty. and the other one is against of all other forms diplomatic solution and the renewal of the story. because obviously there is no military solution to the rational kind in conflict as in put in a sound reason to be afraid about the increasing proximity of nato. true to order but it does not mean that i will support the invasion looks to me. busy abolish international law, the invasion came at a time when already since last autumn we have been feeling

the negative consequences of the precinct energy crisis and therefore the invasion next. so the problem and now it is that it easy for the government to sit to blame the wall. there is a real collection of different voices here in prague and is read. are people calling to stop the people reading, naming within their misery. mcmillan read that many people in europe, i rises and i imagine especially the energy, right. they've also been protests over rocketing energy prices in german. each thousands of people have been gathering in the line for the demonstration organized by the far right. if the party, a group of anti massey, demonstrators are expected to hold counter photos, stamina cane has more from bay. there are counter demonstrations taking place,

several of them right now. but the numbers of those are not in the same order of magnitude as at the central i have to a demo. and the central issue is that idea of the energy crisis and the policies that the german government has implemented to try to help people pay their bills. and that sort of thing. the i've de says that it represents a grass roots movement of people who are really fed up with the sorts of policies the government has put out. and yet opinion polls very recent opinion polls suggest an overwhelming majority of the german people don't take that view. that in fact, they say that even with the war in ukraine, even if prices rise prices for gas up trista, that sort of thing rise. they still support the german government's point of view, and it is worth making the points. this movement, this rallied to day on zillow lancer, asked out in german is the way it's been referred to. that means our land,

our country. first it, interestingly many of the i have day supporters are walking through central berlin with the german flag, but also with the russian flag. and that's makes what's taking place to day. seem much more interesting. sprain is facing a crisis in his annual olive harvest the nation experience, its west johnson 500 years this summer. and if olive oil production could be done by as much as 40 percent, hurry, fawcett reports from the province of. yeah, haine. in southern spain. autumn in southern spain, the time when the olives turn green and plump ahead of the harvest, the province of high end is become a virtual monoculture. more than 60000000 olive trees producing more than a 5th of the world's olive oil. but this year's harvest is projected to be down. massively gabrielle chicka has spent his life working these groves. he says this summer's drought. which scientists have called the worst for

500 years as that some trees baron, some with a much reduced number of usable olives, into the being directly into this is the main source of income, especially for people from the high in the area. without olives, than construction, what goes down with him and a bit of everything else of being lost. if people don't have incomes, they don't spend all of trees. a famously hardy able to survive extremes of heat and cold and keep producing the fruit. the fact that these trees so stressed after this years drought and heat wave is a worrying sign for this region that rely so heavily on them. the fear is that climate change could greatly disrupt spain's olive oil production line. the country provides nearly half of the entire global supply. agriculture already places, huge demands on limited water resources. industry leaders here this summer's shock could point towards a future. not too far away, tolling look at it unless you've got everything indicates that what used to happen

occasionally is becoming something structural. this unfortunately means average temperatures will volume with higher peaks as well and very little rain. and when it does rain, it's going to be $21.00 already along with other vegetable oils prices going up. although producers say not by enough to compensate for this year's collapse tavis a little bit. they bring gold oil vegetables. everything has gone up because of the inflation and also now with the small production of all the vote, it all has an impact. when it comes to rising prices. in the fields, the work goes on, the aim to salvage as much as possible. if this is harvest, the forecast is for more dry weather in the coming weeks. and while that's a worry, the real fear is what will happen to this area, farmland, in the coming years, are you force it? i'll just euro.
