i could see the report stories wanted to national perspective to try to explain your mobile audience, why it's important, how that could impact the life at the height of the storm. water would still high. would it be the above my head? this is an important part of the world. people pay attention to work with on here. and i was because he was very good at bringing the news to the world from here. in these turbulent times, up front returns for a new season. join me, mark them on hill as we take on the big issues. they are literally being turned back. how is this not a contravention of international law? this is exactly the place for us to interrogate people about issue big matter from the state of democracy around the world to the struggles faced by the under represented. those voices have to be brought to the table. they have the matter. we have to start to talk about the see here, we will challenge the conventional wisdom. up front. on al jazeera, we understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world, sentimental handy take it will bring you the news and current affairs that mattel

to years. ah, the un general assembly overwhelmingly condemns moscow's latest annexations in ukraine. only 4 countries vote with russia. ah, hello, i'm darn jordan. this is al jazeera ny, you from dough our osa coming up us radio show host alex james was pay almost a $1000000000.00 to families of victims of the sandy hook mass shooting for his lie that the massacre was a hoax. a u energy when it says failed to agree on a strategy for soaring gas prices, as russian president vladimir putin blames europe for the crisis. and how the fatal shooting of an innocent black man by police in london means a new low in confidence in the force

for you and general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn russia's move to annex parts of ukraine. a 143 countries voted in favor of a resolution that reaffirms ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity. only 4 countries joined russia and voting against it, syria, nicaragua, north korea, and bella roost. 35 abstained, including china and india. saudi arabia accused by the u. s. of siding with russia, opec oil cuts voted against moscow. kristen fleming, as more from you and headquarters in new york. while this is the 4th vote in the general assembly, since russia invaded ukraine on the situation in ukraine, in this one past, with the most support of any of the prior resolutions, it's an attempt by ukraine and it's backers to keep russia under pressure. keep the spotlight on the country and show that it's isolated on the international stage. there were some abstentions 35 of them. that's similar to the right previous votes

. among the abstentions 2 very large and influential countries, china and india. china said that the resolution reflected a cold war mentality and in their view, was not conducive to bring the parties together for peace talks. but the united states and other countries that back ukraine said that quite simply, this is a matter of preserving international law. and the un charter arm message is loud and clear. it does not matter if you as a nation or big or small rich or poor, old or new. if you are a you and member state your borders are your own and are protected by international law. they cannot be redrawn by any one else by force. well, this is certainly a morally significant victory for ukraine, but the general assembly doesn't have the same weight of international law behind

it that the security council would, in a similar resolution condemning the illegal annexation of these 4 areas in ukraine, failed in the security council. because of russia's veto. so it's worth pointing out that back in 2014, when russia annexed, you a crimea, a similar situation evolved here at the united nations where a resolution failed in the security council. but then was passed in the general assembly in that case by 100 votes. so it's a moral victory, but it doesn't have the weight of international law. a jury in the u. s. has ordered right wing conspiracy theorist alex jones to pay almost a $1000000000.00 in damages for his false claim that the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. the money's compensation for relatives of the 26 victims and an f. b, i officer was called to the scene article, he has the latest latent, joan,

the jury, please listen to your words as it has been hoarding. they have been through so much the emotions at this moment clear in the courtroom. the man who publicly denied their children were slaughtered in their classroom or who called them actors and unleashed his followers to who rather than with death threats. that man, alex jones will pay for what he did defamation. slander damage is aston future. i b m a little stressed this past and future. $32000600.00 about jones is already facing one judgment for $45000000.00 for this conduct. but this was by far the biggest penalty, $965000000.00 to the families of h students and staff that were killed in their sandy who classroom. and in f b i agent who was also targeted by jones. all i can really just tell them what we are able to accomplish. we just simply tell the truth. it shouldn't be this hard

. it shouldn't be the during the trial, jones didn't help this case telling the family he's done apologizing, something to defend it. outside of court, i've apologized for pack things. i said hurtful feelings, but i wasn't the 1st person. the question. and i apologize, years ago it's estimated the jones in his companies are worth between $135.00 and $270000000.00. he is trying to shield his assets by declaring bankruptcy, but that's not always guaranteed to work still and will say this could make future conspiracy theorists think before attacking victims of her risk crimes. again, these families last young children, 6 and 7 years old, 6 teachers also died that day. jones was in court the back on the airwaves using this trial to raise money. not for those he hurt, but for himself. i remember i'm in bankruptcy. we got 2 years of appeals, the money you donate does not go to these people. it goes to fight this fraud and

it goes to stabilize the company they want to shut down. that's why the, the analyst case, you did this unrepentant still, but now potentially eventually he might pay a very steep price. patty gall haine, al jazeera washington, ronald sullivan is a professor of law at harvard law school. he says he's unlikely. jones has the funds to pay the damages. plaintiff's counsel will go after all the assets that he does have, and those assets will get split up between the parties. the plaintiffs, consistent with the way that the jury a rude. we have several options. first, they will file what's called a motion of remitted tour remitted or is a latin word in the american judicial system. that simply means that the judge can remit or lower the verdict without ordering a new trial. so he can ask the for this remitted tor one to theory that

the verdict is outsized. that doesn't work. you can ask for a new trial. if that doesn't work, he can appeal this jury wanted to send in unmistakably clear message that what joe's did was not ok when it comes to a verdict over and above what the plaintiffs ask for a jury's ab enormous discretion. so you can have essentially the same facts presented to different juries in different jurisdictions and get radically different results. so the wound, i presume, is still quite fresh in the mind. the hearts and the souls of the people in newton and the sandy hook area. so i'm guessing that that had something to do with why the verdict is so large. returning to the ukraine war now on western allies avowed to deliver new air defense systems to the ukrainian military as quickly as possible.

russia has intensified airstrikes in recent days, killing at least 26 people since monday. pledge was made by nato defense ministers meeting in brussels. that a battle as more from there. we'll usaa defense secretary lloyd austin was leading a meeting of the ukraine defense contact group. this is a group of some 50 countries that come together regularly to talk about at ways that they can best help and support ukraine. lloyd austin said that every time that a flood of mi putin escalated the situation in ukraine. most recently with those multiple miss all attacks and civilian areas on civilian infrastructure, were lloyd at austin said that every move by the kremlin, in that way, only hardened the resolve of nato members and allies to do more to help ukraine. now the main way they can help, he said, is he is weapons, more weapons need to continue at flowing to ukraine. he also talked about moscow's threats to use nuclear weapons. and we continue to watch indicators, indications,

and any type of warning, but dirt that he may have made a decision to go or in a different direction. we've not seen any indicators at this point that would lead us to believe that. but again, it's not something we look at once and leave alone. this is something we remain focused on. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. when kinds defense minister was also at the meeting as where some of ukraine's top military commanders. now keith is repeatedly said and that it urgently needs more weapons to be sent out by its allies. that was also something that he n started back said the head of anita. i welcome dr. ne dollars sir. are providing an air defense system. so that is extremely important on a welcome to recent announcement by a, by a germany and also the, the delivery of german air defense systems to ukraine as inc. we all have seen why this is so important that the hoary factor in this converter attacks against

ukrainian as it is or by stilton berg and austin said the nato allies were committed to helping ukraine for as long as it takes in one of the latest russian attacks at least 7 people were killed in a strike on a market in at diva in eastern ukraine. with it was a black day for our city. people are not evacuating. and as a result, at $740.00, the 1st strike took place on the market. at 755, a massive attack took place. instantly 5 people died. later, 2 more died in the hospital. all 7 did today, a women, ukraine's energy minister says russian missiles of hit around 30 percent of the country's energy infrastructure around $300.00 areas without power. after a tax on monday and tuesday, in the western city of live power and water supplies have now been restored. mama jam june spoke to residence in live. this is the center of

live. this is the cultural capital of ukraine and normally on a weekday, this time of day, this area would be much more full of their strands of families. although there are still skateboarders that are out here. there are local musicians. it's not nearly as packed as it normally would be, and that's because of what happened earlier in the week. on monday and tuesday, you had 2 consecutive days of russian airstrikes on critical infrastructure in live region. because of that, you had power disruptions. you had water disruptions and while there are local officials that say that water and electricity are now fully back on line here in the region, the residence that we are speaking to today are showing that they are concerned. i yeah. yeah, sure, sure. the guy got it, you was in an emergency. i plan to go to my grandmother in the village for winter. most of my sister in poland. that's an option, but i'd prefer to stay home then go anywhere i give again. i call it was

a bachelor director at the gl itala, that when the attacks happen, we ran inside and stayed on till the alarm went off, which was more than 5 hours later. we were to fight for our lives a bullet. i'm lucky. and despite the worries about what might actually happen next, people are still coming out to restaurants and cafes. and some of the residents that we've been speaking with has said that although they feel prepared about what they will do in the event of further attacks. they think that the city actually needs to be better prepared going forward. it must be the 8th at special committee . i don't know to involve engineers to, in the role of people from different profession who are deep in this question to make as soon as possible. there and most safety was spa, there station was the water facility as many here in lives say that for months there had been a sense of complacency that residents had felt far removed from the war that was

going on. now the big question for everybody here is, what exactly comes next? lots more. so to come here and al jazeera, including doc, king responsibility lost in denial. you get prime minister list trust spaces, pressure from the opposition and denies their claims. that how many budget will mean more poverty? and the search for a better life is put on hold for thousands of migrants stuck in a colombian coastal village. monotonous. ah ha, there we've got something of a change going on across central parts solved by north america, easing outs of central canada or rolling down the prairies through the northern plains, fresh or weather shocking in behind. and that will just run its way across the lakes where we will see some very heavy rain for

a time. he isn't over tools. pennsylvania new york, gazing into new england, ontario, quebec. tony, increased and wet as we go through the next couple of days. there's that fresh weather digging in behind. quite a key northley or north westley where little, even half this one was known as a lazy, wendy won't go round you. this has got to be bitterly cold than as we go through the next couple of days. temperature struggling to get around 8 or 9 celsius in that brisk when still some went to where the way which was the eastern side of canada. ne, passive us drying up, brightening up what the u. s. fine, and trying to save it towards the west. not too bad at all here. actually $21.00 celsius there towards the northwestern corner. and we have got some very wet weather. we have a tropical storm cow making its way around the bay of cam patchy. so just to the east of mexico city, some very heavy rain, southern parts of mexico seeing big down poles flooding raise a possibility of mud slides, landslide over the next hour. so plenty a shower was there because south central america elsewhere. it's sonny

with a pre, i am sick and emotion dolah with challenge back family patients and cultural tradition. all you would think on i was just here. ah ah,

welcome back to mind about top stories at this hour. the un general assembly has voted overwhelmingly to condemn russia's move to an expanse of ukraine. 143 countries voted to reaffirm ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity before countries supporting moscow. conspiracy theorist alex jones must pay almost a $1000000000.00 in damages to families of the victim, to the sandy hook school shooting compensation for the la he'd promoted for years, claiming the 2012 masika was hooks and western allies have pledged to give new air defense systems to ukraine as quickly as possible, the promise was made by nato defense ministers in brussels. russia has intensified it strikes in recent days coming at least 26 people. since monday, european union energy ministers have again failed to agree measures to tackle high gas prices. 15 member states want the price of wholesale gas to be kept across the block. but others want different strategies, including a limit on gas consumption and subsidy packages for businesses and consumers.

europe and commissions proposals are due to be unveiled next week. somebody came the husband following the meeting from berlin. the interesting thing coming from this missing is the unity of purpose that pretty much everyone involved in the meeting said that they wanted to bring to this problem. they all want to try to resolve the issue. they want something to take forward. the european commission says it has proposals to do precisely that. we have the boss and our proposal and ain't deal tough that october. it will consist these kind of proposals where we have maximum consent, shy support, and her and dad we will see over the weekend how he can man proceed to this capping the gas for power generation. if this is said at that stage that it can say that there's he, he prod, majority asli,

member states of booking this me. but the problem here is there does appear to be a degree of disagreement as it were about the nuts and bolts. but clearly the view coming from the european commission at least, is the need to come up with something tangible now, rather than perhaps wait months for winter to take hold and the urgent need for gas, given high prices to become even more of a difficulty for everyone who has been discussing the issue at the summit in prague . russia's president has blamed europe for its energy crisis. vladimir putin said gas could still be supplied by the gnawed stream to a pipeline, ma'am at val has more for moscow. the present lodging and putting, gave a long speech in front of the a, a conference, sir about russian, russian energy. it's called the russian energy week conference. and he basically said that energy should be kept away from politics. and that the europeans should

make sure that without security, there is no continuation of russia, a continuation of supplies of energy from russia to other countries and but the americans, the ukrainians, and the polish in e. he mentioned those 3 countries by name are benefiting from what happened to north stream pipelines. let's listen to more of what he said. she had mitchell to dick pasto. russia is ready to start the supplies. the ball is in the e use court. so to say, if they want to just let them open the tap that sits better. we're not restricting anyone in any thing, including our readiness to supply additional volumes in the awesome winter period. basically president put in is a sort of giving suggestions. the prussia is ready to talk again about energy with your 3 europeans, but he made of, despite all the problems of saying that energy should, should be kept away from our politics. that it is a quote that it is a completely economic, a project that is

a beneficial for the 2 sides. they should talk about it separately. russia is ready to talk, and russia is even ready to start in the pumping with gas to western europe. we're throw the 2nd line of the north stream, number 2 that has not been damaged or, and he's basically saying that this is something that needs to be talked about and to be settled between the 2 sides. if the europeans want to continue to benefit by a russian energy outsource. meanwhile, poland says it's found a leak in the drew's bar pipeline system. one of the world's biggest crude oil networks, it runs from east and russia, and branches out westward across europe. polish authorities believe an accident, rather than sabotage, is the most likely cause of the league. the czech republic will turn away russian tourists holding shank and visas issued by any member country measure comes into effect. on october 25th up, the $200.00 russian citizens had been entering the country daily since rushes,

one ukraine started. russian nationals had already been bought from entering poland, finland, and 3 the baltic states. what was that? it says to it, if a citizen of the russian federation comes to the czech republic from the external border of the shing, an area, then at that moment, as long as these measures remain in place and we must travel back to his country of origin, the war he can leave the airport without entering checked republic to another country, like if it is clear that citizens from russia may not remain in our territory. all iranians have kept up protests against the government despite and intensifying crackdown. it's been nearly a month since the death of a woman in police custody, which began the demonstrations security forces fire tear gas to try to disperse. protest was in the capital terror on, on wednesday, just to say 22 year old mazda. i mean, he died off being beaten by morality. police are not wearing a headscarf properly. so beam leader, ayatollah ali harmony has dismissed the photo saying they've been planned that iraq

and policy means in the show off at refugee camp in occupied east jerusalem had been protesting against a siege by israeli forces shabazz when the army has blocked entrances and exits, since saturday after a soldier was shot dead in an attack at one of the checkpoints. neither abraham is next to the camp on the blockaded town of anata. uh huh. this is when the lives of palestinians since saturday, showing their ideas to the israeli soldiers here to be able to enter or exit the shortfall refugee camp through another village where we are right now. but the cars haven't been allowed to enter israeli forces. save that. the perpetrator of a shooting attack that left one israeli soldier killed, is from the shop, bought refugee camp. but people say it, this is a policy of collective punishment whereby the whole town, the whole neighborhood is being located. and that's why people have started astride

shops have closed, the people have stopped going to work as well as schools, with all the wound up people here, living under one of the worst blockades, an unjust and unjustified page on a talk took place here 5 days ago. and people here have nothing to do with these riley army has been grading and closing our fruits. not even allowing medics to move tension has already been on their eyes for a few weeks now in different areas in the occupied west bank. just to give you an idea in the past month alone, 3 israeli soldiers were killed in different shooting attacks. there's a new group in nablus, palestinian young men who are taking up arms and vowing to keep doing shooting attacks. they're called the lions den and they claimed responsibility for killing and israeli soldier on tuesday in addition to another palestinian group in jeanene palestinians say they will continue seeking revenge. but his plan is to list trust

has come on the fierce criticism from the opposition in our 1st debate in parliament since a major tax policy, you tell the p. m defendant, her government's recent mini budget, which shook financial markets before a tax cut for the rich was reversed with every affected hospice. during her leadership contest, the prime minister said my quotes are exactly, i'm very clear. i'm not planning public spending reductions. is she going to stick to that? oh, wow, absolutely. oh, we're spending a 1000000 pounds in public spending. what we will make sure is that over the medium term, the debt is fooling. but we will do that. not like talking public spending, but by making sure we spend public money. well. now the fatal shooting by police of an unarmed blackman in london last month has led to widespread anger and demands for policing reforms. chris capo was shot dead through the windscreen of his cart,

close range, and investigations now on the way, but trust in london's metropolitan police is once again in question. the bach reports from london, a makeshift shrine at the sight of 24 year old chris cowboys, killing in a case that gripped the british capital. he died from a single shot to the head by a police marksman through a car window at close range. the wrapper and construction worker was unarmed and weeks away from becoming a father. police say the car was linked to firearms offences, but they weren't given campus name because the car didn't belong to him. the kidding spunk to desperate search for answers from campus family, and calls for criminal charges against the officer who pulled the trigger. that officer has been suspended while the independent office for police conduct carries out a homicide investigation. how come a young man sit in a car on on the shore, in their head by a police, while the independent investigation into what happened on this london street continues the killing of chris cabra, his re open questions of police competence,

and even allegations of institutional racism and for others who have lost their loved ones as a result of police action cameras, death is reopened. old wounds. marcy rigs, brother, shaun escaped sir phrenic, died after being restrained in police custody. he was arrested for the theft of a passport, which was actually his own. and at g. louis whose 23 year old son shanie, died when he was held down by 11 police officers. while he was a patient in a mental health hospital and anna, so santa fe mother of 17 year old jack, he drowned after being chased into a river by police. yes, the young men have one common thread, none willing to crime. who were ethnic minorities all desperately in need of help? my generation, the oldest and retired and we're exhausted. the problem is they're doing it to our youth. and so we are double traumatized. why can't the government

ceases close to humanity. nursery, meta was previously the most senior asian women in the met police before quitting over racist and sexist abuse. she's demanding urgent police reform. what happens internally is then replicated externally. so in at sexism, the racism such any that it paths displayed internally certainly does get carried out into the community. stereotyping in policing, particularly stop in search, particularly when it comes to young. black males is live and kicking and it's very real. the met police and the national police chiefs counsel declined to speak to wells on camera. the met police issuing this statement saying we continue to fully support the independent office for police conduct investigation. as they work to establish the facts and try to answer the many questions, mister cabbage, family and others have around his tragic death. it could be 9 months for investigators to come back with their findings in that time distrust in the police

. amongst the cities blank communities deepens, while campus family who viewed the police body come footage of the killing, continue to demand justice. the park al jazeera london. now thousands of people trying to make their way from south america to the us are stuck in a colombian village, but waiting the boats to take them across the gulf of robber, before a dangerous track through treacherous jungle. men of the durham gap to his observable . it's located in columbia northwest region in the gulf of whatever the city of nichol gleese, once again filled with thousands of people. they come from haiti and cuba, but mostly venezuela. the main objective is to head north towards mexico and the united states. for me, i came with my husband and my 5 children, and one of my daughters is pregnant. we need help. we need more money to continue with the journey and the entire families there on the move. the trip is one of the

most dangerous in the world. to what is known as a darian gap, a dense jungle between columbia and panama, they carry little money, and most of them are escaping economic difficulties. back home says t mobile, but it's, i mean, i mean me from 9000 migrants are currently inaccurately. you have to wait up to 4 days to obtain a boat ticket that allows them to continue their journey. we also found that on the beach, there are at least a 1000 people living in st condition that including miners whose health and education are at risk. every day, around 2500 people arrived here over a 150000 so far this year. or 30 say, the trend suggests that this year a record number of people will try to cross the darian gap. when we get the name right now, we have an over crowding crisis. there are money migrant specific need. some help is not being provided to them, but it's what we're demanding.
