the final day of a meeting of nato defense ministers discussing how to deal with russia and better arm ukraine. germany sent the 1st of 4 promised air defense systems to key of on wednesday, ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says his forces are only about 10 percent of what they need for air defenses. nato secretary general the installed and berg says, the western alliance will stand with the country as long as needed. we will stand by ukraine for as long as it takes. we will step up our supporter and in particular we will provide a more air defense her system. so to ukraine are also l. com. other very strong message from the national community yesterday. the vote in the u. n. was declared condemnation of the illegal annexation of ukrainian territories and a clear call on russia,

president putin to reverse these decisions and to respect the total integrity of ukraine. had abdul hamid is in care of for our so order? how are you koreans and the victorian officials reacting to those promises of more support for ukraine? well, certainly that will be welcomed by president lensky and his government. ever since before the war. he has been pressing on the urgency of getting more weapons and continuing to get more weapons. i think there's a bit of frustration sometimes on the ukrainian side when it comes to the speed at which the weapons delivered, locked while the defense ministers were meeting in brussel for the landscape has, as also said that at the moment ukraine has only 10 percent of its of its needs when it comes to defense system. and just to give you an example,

over the past hour, the whole country was on red alert. that means that some missiles were on their way here to several locations as we understand it. now initial initial information that we're getting, most of them were intercepted on several regions in central ukraine. for example, do a he said not very far from keep in over key, not in the key region but not over to capital in the region, the region. and that happens on a daily basis, whether it's in central nuclear, western new queen, or in sort of more to where the, especially in regions like that for region, denise pro har cave and a nearby sown. so certainly air strikes have become at the moment the, i would say the offense of choice, the russians, that's because on the ground,

there are certain the suffering at the moment they had to retreat from certain areas, leave behind them, dead bodies and a lot of military hardware they had to mobilize, but all of that is still not in place on the ground. so as long as that is not in place underground is a believe in ukraine that is from the sky, that the russians will continue to strike. and that has been on the increase definitely. our team has noticed in we've been here for 5 weeks. and we can say that regularly any cities are getting targeted and every day more. all right, stay safe there. thanks so much for the russian president vladimir putin has proposed setting up a regional gas hub in turkey. here, he's attending a summit in cassock stand to discuss shoring up global energy supplies. he met his turkish counterpart to so if there is an interest from took here

and our potential buys in other countries, we would consider the possibility of building another gas pipeline system and creating a gas of inter kia for sales to 3rd countries. primarily, of course, to you opinions if they're of course interested in this, the work of this hope which we could create together would be a platform, not just for supplies, but for determining the price to. because this is a very important issue. today, the prices are exorbitant, and we could regulate them at a normal market level without political overtones or out of diverted to one says he's determined to see russian grand exported tallow income countries. greenville was signed in july between 2 to clear view and russia and ukraine. let's bring him out. simon casa lucia's life for us from his stumble. so 1st of all, sin m. how turkish officials reacting to the russian proposals for a gas hub, inter kia or some,

or we haven't heard from the presidency aid yet about this proposal. but we know that the energy minister yesterday, in the same energy conference with president foot in it, told some reporter is that this is a feasible project and technically engineering wise, this is possible and it shall be studied. but of course, a present prudence proposal comes at a time when the west and russia have deemed each other as the foil and the conditions as war. so, ah, we are not sure whether true kia accepts this proposal, an air whether trickier has the necessary potential technical infrastructure to achieve this. we don't know what the european countries are, will say, will they? it totally reject this because of the current tension between the 2 sides a due to the war in ukraine or, or will they try to accept this in a way?

because a here, the see. and technically the project seems to be a feasible project. as for the energy ministry officials in turkey here, but of course when it comes to energy pipelines, this is more than a solution. this is like air g, a strategic game as strategic problem. so here the what are, what will define the situation is going to be european union's a request or demand or appetite regarding to russian guess. and turks, or will definitely be willing to join this project as long as everything is in line with turkey. has relations with the european countries and the credibility of course, through this proposal, or pres, turkish present. or if they are don against another chance to gain more credibility among its european counterparts. because through the un brokerage ukraine grendale that was signed in july, in the stumble, a turkish president, a really

a some credibility and a, the relations between turkey and the europe has been a very strange including the united states. so this was an extra point for president, our don, as long as turkish president pushes for this energy security for the european countries in many experts in turkey. and i'll believe that if he can achieve this, this is going to be another credit for the turkish president, of course, and other a way out for the russian president to be able to exports his a oil and gas. but of course, everything depends on the european union and the united states as well. just one last thing. this is not the independent from the energy game in the eastern mediterranean thinking that the u. s. is already here enhancing its mercury presence in, alexandra pauley and known it and no need to mention that when it comes to energy, it's the big companies. and sometimes we'll say the last word. all right,

thanks so much cynical solo. now security officials in iraq say 9 rockets of hit bank dance, 45 green zone. local media reporting a number of people have been wounded. it came as the wrongs parliament was holding another session to relax. its next president empties, rushed to the parliament hall after the explosions said they would carry on with the session. and in a moment, we'll have more on that vote in parliament from madame de la have. but 1st symbol salvi has the latest on the attacks in baghdad. multiple rockets were fired into central dog as parliament was convening once again to try to elect a new president. several of them landed around government buildings in the area on the outskirts of the green, one of them hitting this train station here, the central train station here and bucket dog and another rocket landed on the roof of the mosque right here. just next to me. witnesses that saw the rocket land

stay. they saw the rockets come down, they saw the smoke billowing in the aftermath of the explosions caused by those rockets. and they say they don't know who was behind it, but whoever it was was clearly trying to send a message to those lawmakers in parliament trying to disrupt that parliamentary session in trying to so yet more seeds of discontent in an already divided country . long as well. that i meant to levy this was an act of sabotaged by those who want to bring back sectarianism. but sectarianism has ended in iraq. sunni's, she is kurtz, christians are all brothers. this was an act of sedition and may god curse those trying to ignite sectarianism again about diameter. but i didn't like my list of people don't trust any government over the past 20 years. we've seen many governments formed, but none will useful to us. they didn't do anything tangible for us. every

government is a government of quotas. they claim that benefits and that's it. this market we're in is right next to where 2 of the rockets that were fired into the central part of the city atlantic. 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 political instability that deranged the election of the president, the formation of that government. and that nomination of a new prime minister at because of the rivalries, deep division between the political blocks. so now with $269.00 lawmakers in sight, this session might constitution 2 thirds of the total number of the room workers.

is it required to start the session to elect a new president of the state? but with getting we've been getting reports from the, from inside the session suggesting that the pro iranian coordination framework, that's a parliamentary block. it is requesting to name their no, we need well, how much he asked would any 4 prime minister at once then you president other public is elected as you know that so then he is so controversial and he's been rejected by lawmakers including the those affiliated 2 influential, chatty, that looked at that a southern ho rejected as to danny back in july. and that's part of the reason. they stated protests and occupied the parliament for over a month in it. oh gast israeli forces have arrested $25.00 palestinians during raids and different parts of the occupied west bank in 24 hours. most of the detainees are from the occupied east jerusalem area and its suburbs still

had an al jazeera american conspiracy theorist, alex jones told to pay up to the tune of a $1000000000.00. ah hello, we've got a bright and breezy weather for red japan at the moment, but it will clear up it will brighten up the sherry clouds pulling out of the way. it's getting drawn away. high pressure coming back in the sinks, starting to settle down to winds will ease as we had towards the week and 21 celsius in tokyo. that's not too bad a similar temperature for soul. and also for beijing, the credentialer and much of china will be dry and 5 over the next couple of days, some pleasant autumn sunshine was the early morning, missed a clears through one or 2 showers. therein 2 were taiwan still struggling to clear

ah lou ah. all going back to watching al jazeera time to recap on headlines. ukraine's president vladimir zalinski says is forces of only about 10 percent of what they need for ad defenses. this comes on the final day of the nato defense ministers meeting to discuss how to deal with russia and further assist ukraine. russia's

president vladimir putin as proposed setting up regional gas hobbin tortilla. you discussed the matter with turkish president project 5 o 2 on on the sidelines with summit held in counts, expand security officials in iraq site 9 rockets of hit back. that's 4 to 5 green zone. local media reporting a number of people have been wounded, came as iraq's comment was holding another session to elect it's next president. more than $500.00 people have died in nigeria is worse floods in a decade on usually heavy rain lead to the destruction of tens of thousands of homes. the government is starting aerial assessments. so one of the worst hit areas in an umbrella state, thousands of people are trapped in remote communities and at least 1400000, i'll displace i'm edris has the latest from alca, the capital of an ambrose state. it's a, it's a massive, massive disaster here in another state like in many other parts of the country now

. well, there are 2 major reverse niger, the niger and the benway, and the all flowed down south. and these waters as the cold, as you go down the joint waters from other tributaries that invaded communities, especially those living are along the coast river and areas. these areas are completely submerged, playing into ok yesterday, playing into a number yesterday. it was a devastating scene below us. now we understand that the government is set up. several comes housing, thousands of people. they try to deliver us much supplies as possible to these people who need assistance. some communities have been completely cut off the governor of the state. charles took, my son is talking about roads and bridges completely destroyed by the flood disaster. now jordan, joining me now to talk more about the impact of this disaster and what help is being render to such communities that have been impacted by this disaster is governance also new to set. thank you for joining us today. talk to us about the

impact of the, the magnitude of this disaster and how you're dealing with it as a huge one. why that as wiped off. i literally about several local governments in number us that i fest with 3 of them and then to 5 to 7. and they have hundreds of billions of value in terms of properties that families agriculture will produce and totally submerged on the water. we don't know what this would mean, whereas us in the situation and i still the books that's they are the only way to get into them on them in the infrastructure that it will have. but this is terribly overwhelming because this was never anticipated. understand that cameron wand nigeria that it was going to open up the dime and so on and stuff like this happens every few years. and part of my surprise actually is we haven't taken this it as we, as a country one expect that the federal level that we should trade this us

a national emergency actually required an emergency appropriation by the national assembly. we should have hundreds of billions get into these states by now, farmland homes, properties just completely ravaged, hundreds of billions going to cause solute. thank you so much for your time. now nationwide we're talking about must have damage in several states. nigeria has 3060 and you're talking about more than 33 states impacted by the same flood if it was ever seen in decades in this country. 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 funds. but as a whole, the reports politicians have made few steps towards government reforms. lebanon's economic crisis is heading into his 4th year. the state is nearly

bankrupt. it can't buy fuel for electricity. infrastructure is falling apart. while institutions struggle to afford basic operating call that a desperate need for hard currency. the international community made clear any funding will only come from the international monetary fund. that means reforming a dysfunctional system blamed on decades of the management and corruption. but there hasn't been political, will the ruling elite doesn't toronto, and these reforms because it undermined the structure of their power. and that 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, 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. official fe, 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 with a normal circumstances in lebanon. we need stability on the ben wanted to go live and all the while. one of the world's worst meltdowns deepens. by the day, seneca, there alger zito, battled the head of the international monetary fund. crystelina georgina says many countries are at risk of recession because of shocks. caused by the pandemic and rushes invasion of ukraine. she's been speaking at the i m. s. annual meeting in washington, d. c. from on this that's head over to alan fisher. he's very in washington. so how bleak is the picture looking for the global economy? allen? well, it's hard to, to put any positive spin on what is happening according to crystelina georgina that are a number of things that have impacted the global economy. and there's still the residue from corporate 1900. the fact that supply chain still on back to normal there as

climate challenges all around the world, the war and ukraine has certainly added to the instability. and there is the cost of living crisis. and she said that governments really have to act to try and come, but inflation and not news coming is we find out that inflation here in the united states is that a 40 year high? she says that inflation everyone would accept is attack station on the most vulnerable communities, though, was those with the lowest income. and she said that's where the government need to focus any actions that they take and it has to be focus like that. and it has to be temporary as well. now the warning ukraine is also cause the problem of food insecurity, not just in sub saharan africa, where the, the question is particularly acute, but across the world and she's talking about 40 countries be impacted. 325000000 people facing severe food insecurity. and there is a concern that things will get much worse. she talked about b route and,

and lebanon as well, saying that the politicians, they are really have to set aside their differences and get past the paralysis which is causing not just a political impasse, but also real financial implications for ordinary people as well. and said it's time for the politicians to do the job that they would elected to do, which is look after the people rather than fight for their own self interest. and she also talked about the use of more carbon fuels. and she talked about it in terms of a question that had come just before from argentina. she likened it to an argentina tango. she said this time will be one step back in 2 steps forward because she believes that there will be more than carbon fuels being used in 2022 because of the energy shot that is coming to europe at because of the fall out of the ukranian war and energy supplies being restricted by russia, but she believes that that means that more governments will realize that energy security is important. and one of the ways to secure that is with

a much more green approach. so she believes that there will be a greater transition to green fuels in the coming year, simply not this year, but it's hard to find any chinks of light in what is perhaps the most miserable economic picture that the i m f has drawn up since the 2nd world war. all right, thanks so much alan fish. a conspiracy theorist to alex jones has been ordered to pay almost a $1000000000.00 in damages to families of the victims of the sandy hook school shooting in the us. jones falsely claimed for years the 2012 shooting was a hoax. the families that i've been associated with for 10 years through this tragedy. and those beautiful people you'll ever encounter and their children, at their moms and their wives are the most beautiful people. you could ever get to know i can really say is that i'm just proud that what we are able to

accomplish was just to simply tell the truth. and it shouldn't be this hard. it shouldn't be the scary. a former police officer in the state of texas has been charged with 2 counts of aggravated assault, for shooting a gravely and gravely wounding rather, a teenager. earlier this month, james brown and of the san antonio police department shot 17 year old eric can to was eating a hamburger in his car. and cities, police chiefs described the video of the shooting as horrific burn and has been fired. the victims, se family say eric is still unconscious and on life support. health officials in haiti say civil unrest is making it harder to contain a cholera outbreak. at least 18 deaths have been reported and hundreds of potential cases are being monitored. gangs have blocked access to a fuel terminal, causing shortages and basic goods including water. women around the world is

me as grant atrium, houses, 18 galleries, bringing together thousands of artifacts from across the islamic world. one of the challenges was making this accessible to a wide audience. to put it this way, we had beautiful objects they were imbued from showcases. but there was very little story in context about them. so what we did is, 1st of all, we introduced a visit to trail, so people follow a trail and have a little story. if you followed closely, you get an idea about, you know, this, let me well, the culture, the history, the religion. we introduced religion, for example, there was nothing on religion before. one path for the spread of islam, from the printed word, torches to creations, to the development of his love at community. there's also been a push to appeal to an international audience. one path takes visitors from the mediterranean to the gulf, through to iran, and beyond. the indian ocean and southeast asia also totally new. we never had

southeast asian, the indian ocean, but specifically with the origins here. and with so many people from this area and being, you know, indonesia being one of the biggest muslim countries in the world, we really thought that should be included. the curators also want to stimulate the senses. there are plans to enhance displays with video, music and even smells special exhibitions are being mounted to coincide with the world cup. one focuses on baghdad. iraqi capital was wants the jewels our culture. so it's an appropriate choice. as doha briefly becomes the center of the sports world, catherine plans to open at least 3 more major museums by 2030, a push to consolidate place, as well. the cultural capitals of the modern middle east fenton mon, in al jazeera doha. oh, the address for you is a w w.
