4:04 pm
well, how to increase those weapons supplies to ukraine? assoni being one of the main point of discussion here are during these meetings of nato defense ministers, or we know so far is the britain and france. the latest at nato met the countries to say that they will send air missile defense systems to keep. now keepers repeatedly requested such sister ukraine present for lauder. misled sky has talked about the importance the need for an air shield every country because of the continued missile strikes or by russia. earlier germany, the united states and the netherlands all said that they were also sending air defense missiles, some systems. some of those already are on the way as you already pointed out. nato countries also very concerned about their own territorial security,
4:05 pm
is something that they've been talking about a lot here of as many countries send their weapons to ukraine, they're finding that their own stocks are dwindling. their own stocks are being depleted more we saw a bit earlier, a 14 member states signing an agreement for the joint, a purchase of a missile defense systems that seen as a way to kind of try and protect nato territories. as this out war drags on. i understand they've also been talking about the nuclear deterrence. what's been going on that one? no, they have indeed, the german defense minister said, look, we are living in very dangerous times. defense ministers, he has been talking about. the lines is nuclear deterrent. there are 3 nuclear powers within nato frauds, united kingdom, and the united states. we've also heard of foam and they to spoken person that the
4:06 pm
line will be carrying out a series of nuclear military exercises a little later in the month in western europe. and over the new thing, all this, of course, in the context of those nuclear weapons threats from russia, moscow continuing to say that he could possibly or him that it could possibly use nuclear weapons at some point in this conflict. that is, of course, a huge concern to the alliance. we heard the us defense secretary lloyd often say that each day the lines is monitoring very, very closely. the threats taken them, of course, extremely seriously. all right, good stuff from natasha butler in brussels. let's go to the heart of the conflict in ukraine. huh. jim, jim, he's long for us and live. and just moments ago, we had an air raid siren going off. what was happening with that? and tried sammy, this is the 1st time that an air raid siren has sounded here and live since tuesday
4:07 pm
or earlier this week for tuesday was the 2nd day of consecutive russian missile strikes on the live region in which a power stations and critical infrastructure were hit. today, just in the past 15 minutes, you had the air raid sirens ring out once more. of course, when they rang out there were a lot of warnings coming on. speaker systems throughout the city, telling people that they needed to get to a safe place and to seek shelter. right behind me. you will see that the administrative heart of viv. it was much more crowded just in the past half an hour . of course, since those areas sirens rang out. people have left, there still are some people outside. i wouldn't say it's a panic. mood right now. some people are still very calm. it's interesting to be in live right now, because just earlier this week you had large parts of the city and this region in western ukraine. they didn't have any power. water had been disrupted because of those russian air strikes. and just since yesterday, the power has returned,
4:08 pm
water is flowing all throughout the city. people are concerned about what might happen in the days and weeks and months to come. but they also say that they're going to go on with their lives are going to take care. they're going to try to prepare, but they say that they are still resilient, and they're going to live their lives. now i will tell you, the local officials have said here that starting tonight that they are going to get businesses and hotels and restaurants to turn off their lights on the outside of their buildings. and they're going to stop running water in fountains. so they want to try to conserve on energy and water because they are worried that there could be more shortages of utilities if there are more air strikes that happened in the days that had some people bracing from or to come thanks so much my husband, jim to russian president vladimir putin as many cars as admission to mean been hammered and found the leaders are attending a regional summit. the catholic stand to discuss shoring up global energy supplies . i has huge investments in russia. these investments are successful and diverse.
4:09 pm
and as you mentioned, the trade volumes are not up to our aspirations. however, we have opportunities to develop and both of these developments and trade volumes, especially in certain domains like infrastructure, agriculture and energy. turkeys president project about the one says he's determined to see russian grain exported to low income countries. he's met president vladimir putin on the sidelines of originals come in catholics that are the one says he wants to strengthen the stumble agreement. so poor countries get the grain and 1st the life that they need the russian president also propose setting up a regional gas hub inter kia we have to correspondence on the story in a moment. we'll hear from sit in cos all lou in the stumble. but 1st i speak to ms . vaughn in moscow. what exactly are the russian proposing when it comes to a gas hub? how much yes,
4:10 pm
sammy are present, put in proposed the creation of this gas hub or for distribution of a rush and gas from turkey are saying that turkey is a reliable partner and a partner that has the ability and the means to do this sir. this job and also turkey has the confidence of both sides and it is well placed apparently to, to, to be the say, go between the 2 russia and the european partners, or russia has been talking about this for some time as an idea. and it seems that it is well received in turkey. the spokesman of the or a criminal spokesman committee, pest cove said later, after putting the statements that to the to leaders are okay for an immediate start on that project. and also the 2 companies gas from and the gas from the russian and the bought us the turkish pipeline corporation have even begun to talk about it.
4:11 pm
and they are also ready to launch ship such a project. it's not clear if this is going to be a new pipeline that is going to be constructed. not no details about that yet, or is it going to be channeled through the turks stream, which is, are in the, in the, in the baltic sea lots a, lots, a russian pipeline that takes a gas from, from russia to turkey. so it's too early to have all those details, but it seems that the 2 sides are okay on this idea. and they also said a prescott said that they didn't rush and turkey did not consult with the europeans about it. and it is something decided only between took here and rush. all right, thanks so much for ha, valez, bring in for them. causality jones's life from his stumble. so it's not 1st of all, some on that issue. how are turkish officials reacting to russian suggestions of a gas hub inter kia while saw me?
4:12 pm
as my colleague also stated, a russian president vladimir putin has been saying there since yesterday. he spoke at an energy summit yesterday. and so far we haven't heard anything from the turkish officials, dad, but of course we don't know what is spoken behind the close or the especially for instance out there is a press conference to leaders, spoke for one and a half hour. true kid is already an energy transmitting center. it transfers energy from east to west. and this is one of turkey's great plans is to be a major hub for you. and there are already pipelines that are transferring different gas and oil from different companies. but of course, this is a very delicate issue for tricky because we are talking about a new system that is going to provide brushing gas to the european countries. and the tension between the west and russia is on the rise. the europeans are desperate
4:13 pm
for cheaper energy and for some put in stated that this can be also a good platform to review energy prices which have coin rocket it. but apparently, turks and russians are already studying on this matter, to see how it can be handled, but definite that when it comes to energy and energy trade and the pipelines, there are so many regulations. we should also keep in mind that a turkey should consider possible sanctions from europe because of the current tension that is going on between the west and russia. so far, as i said, we haven't heard anything from the turkish officials, but definitely they will try to take benefit of this. as long as it is in line with a true kaz interest with the european union and its relations with them. all right, we have been hearing something from turkish officials when it comes to russian, fertilizer and grain. what exactly? we're proposing well,
4:14 pm
summer when the un brokerage quinn green deal was signed back in july and a stumble as another document was signed with the russians separately from ukrainians, which would allow russian fertilizers and grains to be delivered to the world. and since then, turkish president of paper don has been stating that a grains and fertilize this, russian grains and fertilizers should reach the world market, especially to poor countries 1st, then, what don says today is not something new, but of course, this is also a good advantage for turkish, for instance, our dom because the un brokerage ukraine green deal gave him some credibility when, when it comes to his relations with the west. and those relations have been sprained for a while as we all know. so, and this can also create another chance for turkish present to mediate between the west and russia. again,
4:15 pm
when it comes to grand fertilizers. also regarding your previous question, let's say that prison put in who's been stuck with the, with the guess exports of his country. he's also trying to give some leverage to the turkish presence so that he can have the leverage to mediate between the west and russia, which can bring on more credibility. all right, thanks so much. jenna cassandra, that since the war and ukraine began earlier this year, all eyes have been on nato's response, especially from its defense ministers, were last year. the military alliance met twice as it's customary in february and october. this year. however, it's meant full times and could meet again before december. nato defense ministers have condemned russian actions and have supply ukraine with military equipment along with financial and humanitarian assistance. spring in coats volker in washington d. c. he's the former us ambassador tonight. so good to have you with us. so as
4:16 pm
i've mentioned, the been more nato meetings. this is a double so far last year, nato, as an alliance though, what has its impact been on the military battles, not just the ministers of defense of nato member countries. if you know what i mean . yeah, i do. well, 1st off, it's natural lead nato was having more meetings this year, because russia has launched the biggest war in europe since world war 2. so it's a threat to european security generally. second, as you indicate nato's main job is the defense of its own members. and so it has taken a lot of steps to reinforce that defense forward deploying forces, putting on more high rating is forces increasing defense spending among member states and so forth. the 3rd thing is then support for ukraine. here, nato has been very cautious not to directly involve itself, but rather it is individual member states who have provided the bulk of the support
4:17 pm
. what was interesting in the meetings in brussels as you had a meeting of the so called ramstein format. this is where not just nato countries, but many other countries as well. are talking and coordinating arm supplies for ukraine as you grow and defend itself against russian aggression. when we talk then about individual countries sending aid to ukraine, there is a, an 8th has defense minister meeting on the way in brussels. are we going to see new types of weapons or new quantities of weapons that come to supply the ukrainians as a result of the latest missile attacks on ukraine? yes, that's what they're indicating. for some reason, united states and other countries have been holding back on types of weapons being provided, g crane. and in this case, given the reason russian attacks on ukrainian cities and killing civilians,
4:18 pm
there has been a, an effort now to accelerate the delivery of sophisticated air defense systems. so that ukraine is better able to protect its population against these russian attacks . does that mean, for example, some of the, the different types of rockets used in the high mars system, which the u. s. has been hesitant to give the ukrainians are the fear that it could be seen as enabling ukraine to attack russia. that we're going to see some of those kinds of self imposed restrictions. easton, 1st off, that has not been part of the conversation in brussels at this point. there, the defense ministers are talking about providing air defense systems, the by altitude, medium, altitude point defense, for the longer range artillery shells. this is something out of state should be doing because russia is occupying the vast amounts of ukrainian territory. ukrainians cannot reach. and this argument that they're worried about ukraine
4:19 pm
attacking russia, i just, it makes me smile because russia is the one attacking ukraine and ukrainians. they could fire injury russian territory today if they want to do they have a border with russia, but they're not doing some, they're the ones defending themselves. i guess few are very familiar with the, the concerns that nato is, is expressing about not wanting to be seen to put russia in a corner that escalate the nuclear escalation ladder. exactly. no one wants to see any use of nuclear weapons and it's completely unjustified. vitamin to turn is attacking ukraine and his forces are not doing well. the fact that he then claims that some ukranian territory as part of russia, something 143 countries of the un general assembly just rejected. the fact that he claims that does not mean it is part of russia, and there's no justification for use of nuclear weapons. and some kind of twisted
4:20 pm
idea of self defax up to his forces that are attacking the grain. and it would, that would end if russia were to withdraw its sources. ok, thank you very much for your thoughts and ask us on that co. busy thank you. plenty more, stella had on the news, our including act now to put in place to responsible fiscal policy, the international monetary fund as a message for the world in the face of sky rocketing inflation. american conspiracy theorist alex jones told to pay off to the tune of a $1000000000.00 added small to me, the member of the american team playing at the st. child world. captain carter ah, now security officials in iraq say 9 rockets of hit back that's fortified. green

4:23 pm
where 2 of the rockets that were fired into the central part of the city landing. and the people we've been speaking here, speaking to hear all say the same thing they, they don't feel like they're stakeholders in the political games being played by their leaders right now. and they want their leadership to stop focusing on politics and start focusing on trying to fix the country's economy after one year of political instability that derived the election of the president, the formation of their government. and that nomination of a new prime minister at because of the rivalries, deep division between the political blocks. so now with 269 lawmakers in site this session might constitution. 2 thirds of the total number of the makers is it required to start the session to elect a new president of the state. but with getting,

4:30 pm
jazeera blue. ah, you're watching al jazeera time. to recap our headlines. nato defense minister, the meeting in brussels to discuss how to best deal with russia and increase weapons shipments to ukraine. it comes as valid, amir zalinski says ukraine only as about 10 percent of what it needs for a defense. turkeys president roger voted. one says he's determined to see russian grant exported to low income countries is met president vladimir putin on the sidelines of a regional summit in cas, extend security officials in iraq say 9 rockets of hit baghdad,
4:31 pm
fortified green zone. local media reporting a number of people have been bullied, it came to rocks, parliament was holding another session to elect his next president. lebanon's economic collapse is accelerating in the absence of a government recovery plan, the international community is made clear. the only way out of the crisis is through a deal with the international monetary fund. but as anna how the reports, politicians have made few steps towards government reforms. lebanon's economic crisis is heading into its 4th year. the state is nearly bankrupt. it can't buy fuel for electricity infrastructure. it's falling apart. while institutions struggle to afford basic operating costs own. there's
4:32 pm
a desperate need for hard currency. the international community made clear any funding will only come from the international monetary fund. that means we forming a dysfunctional system blamed on decades of this management and corruption. but there hasn't been political will. and ruling elites doesn't toronto, and these reforms, because it will undermine the structure of their power at has been going on for 30 years now. the country's leaders have refused to open the books at the central bank. they fail to pass laws to investigate all financial crimes and stop billions of dollars being transferred abroad. instead, the shared interests of the political and financial elite have lead to bank customers, suffering losses and being denied access to their savings. any financial program between the i m, f and lebanon would involve passing structural reforms,
4:33 pm
and anti corruption measures to improve governance that's likely to hurt the interests of politicians accused of using the states for the interest of themselves and their associates. this was once a middle income country, but the local currency has lost value and its financial losses are estimated to amount to $72000000000.00. that is 4 times the size of the economy. officials say they remain committed to the path laid out by the i m f. but there's still no consensus on a recovery plan. major reforms normally economical was, can go on, i would say any, and on normal circumstances in lebanon, we need stability on the bill of political living all the while. one of the world's worst meltdowns deepens. by the day, seneca, there alger zita battled the head of the international monetary fund. crystelina,
4:34 pm
georgia of us as many countries are at risk of recession because of shocks caused by the pandemic and rushes invasion of you crime. she has been speaking of the i'm efs annual meeting in washington. mon, the set speak to alan fisher in washington, d. c. so a world economy battered by, as i said, they're both covered and now the warn you cry. and what is the i m s a picture, a forecast for it? well, a, this is certainly a gloomy meeting and we know that george eva is trying to put a very positive spin on it by saying, look, acting together. we will get through this, but there is an unfortunate confluence of events here because 1st of all there's covered and just coming out of that. but that are still extensive locked downs. and china, which is heading the global supply chain, there is the water ukraine, which is causing problems that are climate crises, which is a costing money to deal with as well. and then there is the,
4:35 pm
the cost of inflation. and that a crystelina, georgia acknowledges really hates at the most vulnerable. she says this is a tax on the poorest parts of society. and she is our government to make sure that they are taking action to help those who are really struggling, saying that any help for them must be targeted. and it must be temporary. and she's also aware that the war and ukraine is causing real problems with the global food supply chain. and she told us that at 48 countries and africa are facing food insecurity, a 128000000 people. and she's hoping that the war and ukraine will end soon, because that is adding to the financial instability. interesting. we were hearing from, from xena and, and lebanon. it came up during her news conference there. and she was making a similar point as xena by saying, look, the politicians have got to set aside the differences and start working for the people at the moment. there is political paralysis in the country,
4:36 pm
which is leading to economic troubles. and part of that is because there are too many factions wanting to make sure that they get the best possible deal, rather than trying to deal with what the real problem is for the ordinary people and let. and there was the talk to about the climate they came just after a question in argentina. she use an analogy to a tango. she says at the moment, it is a one step backwards, but hopefully to step forward, she acknowledges that the world will use more fossil fuels in 2022, simply because of the energy shock that is coming in the winter in europe, where gas supplies might well be hit, we're russia might start impacting what is sent to the rest of europe. but she believes that this will be helpful in the long run because she thinks that many countries will release that energy security is an important thing to address. and the best way to deal with that is moving to a green economy, a green future as far as energy supply is concerned. so doors,
4:37 pm
essentially where the highlights of about an hour long news conference that the head of the i m f has just finished just wrapped up here in washington dc. i thanks so much. alan fisher more than 500 people of died. nigeria worse floods in a decade, usually heavy rain lead to the destruction of tens of thousands of homes. the government is staffing aerial assessments of one of the worst hit areas in a number of state. thousands of people are trapped in remote communities and at least 1400000 are displaced. avenue address is in or tasha in nigeria and amber state. i'm and as i say, 1400000 display selects a lot of displaced people. are they getting any assistance with while sammy slept before just saying from state to local governments and to the federal government. but it's clear to see that people are really, really struggling. it's either these financial aid,
4:38 pm
it's not getting to them or it's grossly inadequate. that's the situation, but the feeling we have across the country a short while ago we interviewed the governor who said 2 weeks they've been struggling to deliver aid. and only yes or today from the federal government arrived in the state and you believe it's insufficient. so there are thousands and thousands of people who are out there requiring fine food aid, shelter, medication, even clean water to, to drink. and that's, apart from those who have been completely cut off here in another state. we talking about villagers entire communities completely cut off because of the roads on the bridge have been destroyed by the flood waters. and so nothing has been heard from them. for the last one week or 2, what drew public or international attention to the number i was of course, the boat disaster killed around 90 people according to the governor of our number of state. but the situation across now from the north to the central parts of the
4:39 pm
country and down here south, the situation is really, really desperate for me. ok, thanks so much. i did race. a jury in the u. s. has ordered right wing conspiracy theorists, alex jones to pay nearly a $1000000000.00 in damages for his false claim. the 2012 sandy hook school shooting was a hoax. money is compensation for the relatives of the $26.00 victims and an f. b i . officer was called to the scene. i think i have reports late in germany, jury please listen to your verdict as it has been recorded. they have been through so much the emotions of this moment clear in the court room. the men who publicly denied their children were slaughtered in their classroom, who called them actors, and unleashed his followers to who read them with death threats. that man, alex jones will pay for what he did. land or damages asked the future 25. be a most little destruct damages, past and future. there are 2000000,
4:40 pm
