ah, a wave of russian attacks kills at least 4 people in care and targets energy infrastructure across ukraine. ah, hello there, i'm histology. attain this as alger there at life, and also coming up we are a country that funds are promises and pays. all of this is new finance minister warns of difficult decisions to con machine ditches. nearly all the prime ministers plans for the economy announce just weeks ago, un calls for a rapid action force in haiti to a vanda, humanitarian catastrophe. you keep talking about nancy wilson. if you want to run against nancy pelosi moved back to san francisco and run against nancy pelosi. you're running against me. just weeks away from us. mid term elections will be life

mckee, states where the battle lines are already being drawn. now the u. s. as it will hold russia accountable for war crimes, after it hit ukraine's capital with drawings, at least 4 people were killed and 16 injured and strikes during warning rush hour. one struck a residential belding and downtown cares. these facts and people running for cover a week after russia unleashed it's most widespread attacks against the country in months. mom and jim, jim reports now from the ukranian capital aah! this strikes on ukraine's capital started early on the ground. people felt the explosions in the sky. they could see the attackers, one so called kamikaze drone approaches its target as keeps air defense systems

attempt to shoot it down. rescue teams were quick to arrive in the ship. chikavsky, district, firefighters, hosing down smoked ruins. as people who taken shelter emerged from underground, the target destroyed the whole infrastructure of ukraine, destroyed infrastructure, omaha haunt all their lives. people praising the window, less people who do it resolved, electricity they need the russians want to make become inter couple proven on top. and also the same that destroy the building people's homes were destroyed behind me is the residential building that was damaged in the drone attack this morning at this neighbourhood also has important infrastructure sites in it and was hit by russian missiles last week. air raid sirens may have stopped sounding the local officials say, residents should still avoid the area for now many injured people, like this woman were rescued. but others, including

a pregnant woman. her husband were killed schematic which they were in their own. lindsey blast started, but we didn't go out and see the staircases got all gone to the ground floor. he waited for alarm to be called of god. you are a lane on the floor firefighters game and they used a leather to rescue us one by one of these and run to the shelter in that building . it was horrible. many here worry about how quickly they can reach safety colon, am i? there is no shelter around the closest in a 10 minute strand. from here, we decided to stay home. you might be riding on the street and a particle, so it's hard to you. then, as if on cue, the air raid sirens ring out again. oh, our flagship probably go to the shelter because this is their target people's constant concern. now, if and when this area may be targeted again, ma'am, a jim drama does either. keith?

well, i spoke to richard wyatt's. he is a defense analyst and as secure as the ex baton, he told me that russia's use of these trans complicates ukraine. secures your plans . this is a going to be a major problem going forward. russia kind of work to buy many of the brown probably as many as the ran can provide given the high. ready oil and gas revenue russia is receiving as by way of comparison, drawn that the iranians shot down a few years ago that belong to the us cost almost $200000000.00. so these are just $20000.00 each. there. it's not going to be a problem for russia to be able to buy what is many that can get from iran. ukraine has been getting 100 of the but they are primarily designed for battle field year. so ukraine has been spending them over the

russian lines and then having them strike sometimes commander, sometimes artillery sometimes by just stick all centers, the core ammunition stocks and so on. and parents, some of these are even in targets inside russia. so what they've been using them is basically a form of our killer rate or the battle. and they have been declining is important, says ukraine is getting better artillery pieces from the united states tonight or another country. they're different from the way russia using them. they russia may be using these on the battlefield, but for now what we're seeing is being used as her terror weapons or infrastructure dest ryan attacks on here than other major and ukrainian said, well, how does your caster has one hour in the u. s. government reaction from washington . a u. s. state department spokesman says the so called suicide drones that hit key

monday morning or likely made any rod. the state department says it's been warning since july that iran was planning to sell the drove to russia for use against ukraine, and that the u. s. has now determined the arrangement is in violation of a un resolution linked to the 2015 iran nuclear deal. this resolution placed a weapons embargo on iran, and while the ban on selling conventional weapons expired in 2020, the u. s. as there still remains a ban on iran selling advanced weaponry like these groans. now england in england were the 1st to say that this weapons trade is illegal. iranian denies making the drones that hit key if but the white house as that is untrue. and the white house also describes the drone attacks on residential keith as war crimes. saying that russia must be held accountable. now, several e, u foreign ministers have called for sanctions against iran, over the transfer

a drones to russia. the u. s. has so far not gone as far. when meanwhile, at least 4 people have been killed and dozens injured off to a fighter. jet crashed into a building in the russian city of yeske. the russian defense ministry says the plane was on a training flight when its engine caught fire. it had a 9 story residential block setting last on fire. and some people died as they jumped out of the building. well as the wall rages on in ukraine, nature has said its annual nuclear exercise will go ahead and forces from across nato, a taking part. the drills involve 14 countries around 60 aircraft. they'll be conducting training flights over belgium as well as the north sea on the u. k. natasha butler has worn out from paris at the nato defense ministers meeting in brussels. yes, dalton bird though, said that nato would certainly not cancel these exercises this year, and in fact, it would not be a good thing to do. so it would send the wrong message. he said to moscow at this

particular different difficult time when russia has been stepping off its rhetoric when it comes to a threat about using nuclear weapons. we've heard a lot for moscow about that. we know that the nato lion says that it's taking those french very seriously. indeed it is working them closely at this point. the line says that it really feels a threat some more about trying to deter western powers from taking part in this country prison. there's less, as i said, being looked at very seriously. in fact, the us defense secretary lloyd austin, said, any nuclear strike by russia would receive a response from ukraine's allies. he didn't exactly say what it would be said. it would be a physical response. we then heard a little bit later from the french presidency by my code. think almost contradict doctor manual micro saying that the allies would not use a nuclear weapon against any nuclear strike by russia. but he wasn't totally clear

about exactly what would happen. nevertheless, it's important to note that france is not part of the operation. steadfast noon is not part of these exercises. even though france is one of the 3 nuclear powers in the lines along with the u. s. and the u. k. but fraud is not part of nato nuclear deterrent tiny group. now, living on and you can finance minister says he's reversing almost all of his predecessors. proposals, and government you turn announced by jeremy hunt, comes after closing cutting was fired. last week. elliot prime minister les tress had been accused of running, scared her failing to address parliament. and in bother reports. i know she's fighting for her political survival, but let's trust wasn't in parliament on monday, as the opposition was granted an urgent question to ask the prime minister to make her statement on reflection. rebecca, during the current economic situation is to speak

with apologies, with apologies to lead the opposition on the house. the piano is detained on it, it is hiding away. don't you question? scared of our own shadow, the ladies not returning. ah, trus, was there later on to hear her new finance minister give more detail on a huge change in direction. the prime minister and i agreed yesterday to reverse almost all the tax measures announced growth and 3 weeks ago that have not been legislated for in parliament. so have decided that the basic rate of income tax will remain at 20 percent and it will do so indefinitely until economic circumstances allow for it to be cut. taken together with a decision not to cut corporation tax and restoring the talk rate of income tax. the measures i've announced to day will raise around $32000000000.00 pounds every year. hans also announced the government's move to cap energy bills will only last

6 months. instead of 2 years with a review, next april, this leaves a prime minister clinging on to the job. she only took up last month. after weeks of negative reaction to her, many budget with mortgage rate rises for millions of people. she may have bought herself some time. mark is like what they're hearing. whether or not this is good for the economy in 3 to 6 months. well, the jury, the math lease truss fired her finance minister cause he quoting last friday. and that joint project chasing growth by a tax cuts funded by massive borrowing, has effectively been ditched behind the scenes in westminster. many conservative politicians are rushing to find a unity figure to replace lease trust and revise the policy standing with the public. but it's far from clear whether they can avoid further turmoil, or in fact, early general action that involved al jazeera london, or kevin craig is the founder and ceo of the political communications agency, p l. m. all. he says the british prime minister is in

a perilous position. lou trust cannot survive, not just today, but basically the month since she took office is prime minister. and i think the fascinating thing really, for listeners and viewers of algae or english is that today, our prime minister was almost absent from proceedings. she went. she was not to be found for several hours during important debates in parliament. but her colleague wasn't allowed to say why i think is somebody who i advise companies in the u. k. in international on politics and what's gonna happen next? the moment when things became terminally bod felice truss was the press conference in the past few days, where the leader of our nation i. one is proud country, looks like a rabbit scad in the headlight at a press conference. and it was, it was the, it was the case of death for her premonition. and me and my colleagues cannot find any conservative n page. speak privately today,

but think she will last week. and jeremy 100 per a very polished communicator. he did things today that of help the markets, they've showed up our guilt and our bonds. but these trust as a politician, is going to go down in history, is one of our shortest pm's ever. and it's a question, whatever your politics of when not if hostile i had here on our sarah stranded and cut off from health nigerian authorities say, having trouble getting aid to flood victims. and it's now been 5 years since i saw was defeated and rocca that people there say they're still living among the ruins. ah, to suppression is wiser. so with our ways how low they were looked at east asia and things are certainly turning wet and when

if the southern areas of china thanks to typhoon nessa, which is pulling its way towards hina island. it's going to bring very heavy force to coastal areas. one dong province, for example, likely to see that wet and windy weather as it moves its way towards vietnam later in the week. but farther north of this lots of clear skies and sunshine to be found as high pressure takes hold temperatures in beijing and shanghai set to edge up slightly here across the korean peninsula with plenty of sunshine to be found here . and for japan, just bits and pieces of rain, the temperature in tokyo sitting closer to the average where we expect it to be after exceptional heat this summer. now as we move to south asia, a monsoon rain, the still clinging on to the south and the west coast, but they've dashed away from the north east leading, leaving lots of clear skies here for places like a sun, as well as much of bangladesh. still a shower to over here, before the worst of that, whether we have to look to the west coast corolla seems very heavy, falls in the days ahead. is

a similar story for thomas now do some fear of thunderstorms as well. breaking off in colombo for sri lanka, but up in that northwest corner new delhi, see some misty mornings, but plenty of sunshine. 31 degrees on wednesday. ah, to with sponsored by cats, are they wish robert is going blind from a wretch disorder? ah, as to son beholds the beauty of the world for the 1st time. robert may be seeing it for the last. ah, but has this genetic disorder been passed on to his son? witness a sky without stars on al jazeera. ah

oh. hello, they're watching out of their let's remind you about top stories this out. at least 4 people have been killed and 16 injured and drones stripes in ukraine's capital. the early morning attack, some people running for cover a week after russia omniscience most widespread strikes against the country and mumps. meanwhile, air forces from across nato are taking part in the alliances annual nuclear exercise. the drills involved 14 countries around 60 aircraft. they'll be conducting training flights over belgium as well as the north sea, and the u. k. u k is new finance minister says he's reversing almost all of his predecessors proposals. jeremy hunt announced a raft of you turns on last month. controversial, many budget ditching tax cuts and scaling back and energy support scheme. well, you estimate time elections are less than a month away. on the candidates vying for one of ohio senate seats have just taken

part in a televised debase ohio, a key battleground state. is that to be a tight contest that seat has been held by a republican since 1999 republican j. d vance and democrat, tim ryan, on now neck and neck, and the poles, or let spring and she had her tansy. he's been watching the debate for us in youngstown. she had watching the debate from here. it looks like it got pretty roar there at times. it just shows how divisive the run up has been, especially in ohio. did get rule but actually over some very familiar issues. and i think we've seen these issues come up again and again between these 2 candidates that we have we have m j, the violence, leave the republican candidate accusing ryan of being a political. the lead test is 20 years in washington with nothing to show, but not least, the pulling state of the economy and the inflation u. s. and he told the countries but the, the, the particular places that the u. s. is suffering right now. meanwhile, we had run,

tim run then saying that j d vans is simply an extremist, and the run was representing the exhausted majority who had enough of the extreme as of donald trump. and those on the far right should be of the republican party, and particularly always drawing attention to an incident which is become rather notorious stuff just in the last few weeks, donald trump came sensibly to endorse j. d events, but actually rather humiliating g bombs by saying on stage jane events will just the equipment what, what he said with jamie about it's going to suck up to me and do anything. and i say pretty so desperate for life. it was not effect the actual probates was a bit more fruit. and then j. d events just meekly went on stage and shook hands that we had, we had run the same look. i mean, if you can't stand up to your leaders, how can you stand up to people in washington and, and support and fight for ohio and interest, they'll eat you up like a chew toy. he said in one of the memorable lines from the debate and in addition,

ryan is trying to prevent present violence as an extremist on a bushel. and that's been the key driver of a resurgence of the democratic hopes in these mid term with actions. they should not be competitive, right, especially in the state like an ohio, which is a republican st. and yet the polls say that the neck, the 2 parties on that connect because of that supreme court decision. and then subsequent republican party overreach, the democrats hoped in that just placing abortion against abortion. so these are the issues that we have heard which have become very familiar with the democrats. so we'll make them competitive. and so they could actually pick up. having said that there, there is evidence in. ready that in the end, this does seem to be reverting to type that it will be a yet again, a congressional mid term election, which will be a referendum on the policy and power and specifically about the economy. and some of that initial outrage we saw in abortion is beginning to fade as the day to day reality of high prices. it's home a long spaces,

have given the poll numbers that we all think unusual history, how a higher fits into the national picture when it comes to the midterm races. if that's the key that isn't, this shouldn't be a competitive race. if the democrats do pick up ohio in a mid term election, italy stunning, because you know, the incumbent power calling should just not be doing well in full stop in the mid term election. really let alone in the state control by the, by the opposition party. that would be stuff that would be a real rejection, not only off the stances that individual candidates and republicans are taking on the issue of abortion and a women's rights right to choose. but also it will suggest, and so the democrat so that those independence and swing voters and actually probably would take a lot of republican versions of the same same set of vices. you know, the republic are the ones that i did for president obama and then switched to donald trump. they to getting a little tired of donald trump at the extremism the party. and so this is why this

is being seen as such as different, significant state, not just because it could alter the balance of power in the senate, but it will say so much moving forward into 2024. as we look to the presidential elections to continue, have a very clarify that on our hire. she had tansy in youngstown 4th about debate. thanks jim. now authorities in nigeria struggling to get relief supplies to hundreds of thousands of people displaced by severe floods. more than 600 people have died, and 1300000 people have been displaced by these west floods. the country has seen in a decade. some flood waters are not expected to receive until the end of november. i'm going to drill has worn out more now from yet to go. that's in southern nigeria . this is the main feed. no go. but what do you see behind me? i can use and cause apply these waterways now? not roads anymore. simply because the streets getting flooded by the day and it's

getting worse and worse resident say the water level has risen to this much over the past few days. and the bad news is it will continue to do so as water cascade upstream into the delta before they reach the atlantic ocean. now, weather wise, it's been raining for days here in, you know, go on other parts of bio state and fix it to continue like that until the end of november this year. and then again, the level of destruction we've seen overhead when we're flying into in a goal was so much that was harder to are having difficult, just dealing with this problem. we understand that i've, i've 700000 people have been displaced from 300 settlement. then i didn't government whatever necessary, whatever necessary should be done to help victims of this particular disaster. bios us did unfortunately, that's what not what we were seeing on the ground. people are different conditions

getting worse and worse, and that is not the only problem. the biggest problem will be when the waters recede or when they increase before they receive. well, officially, a warning of disease is breaking out cholera, malaria, and other infectious diseases i expected to be on the increase over the next few months also. so that's a situation currently in by also states and people are desperate. we've seen people coming from the creeks in wooden boats with few positions trying to access a higher ground, any high level of do, why they can settle down until the flood was sweden's. parliament has backed center, right? laundrin party leader of christopher. as a new prime minister, the 3 party coalition, the chosen includes the far right mt migration, sweden democrats, party. the block has agreed to adopt tough, a border controls and criminal sentencing. opposition figures say is then a phobic, national now have controlled us government. thousands of people have protested and

capital f, haughty as the united nations discussed measures to address the countries dia, security crisis, the u. s. as proposing to send international trips after the haitian government aspen military assistance and implemented at james h reports ah protested in the haitian capital called a prince. angry at the idea that foreign troops could once again be deployed to their country about in the sacramento guzman, we are making president biden. remember the promise he made when he knelt in front of the haitian community in the united states. he asked them to vote for him so that the situation in haiti would change, but they did not vote for him to have a president who was assassinated. haiti has a troubled history, but the situation is rarely bill as grave as this. it is a place crippled by violence and disease. color is spreading more than 20 people have died. many more of contracted the disease. there is an economic food and fuel

crisis to the un says 19000 people in the capital and living in famine conditions. there are shortages of fresh water, some hospitals are preparing to close the main fuel depos blockaded by armed gangs which roam the streets of the city. that's why the un secretary general says the only solution is a strike force made up of international troops and police. in the presence he confesses, we need an armed action to release the port and to allow for humanitarian cody law to be established with the gang that's blockading the fuel, their pose led by this man. jimmy shall say, known by his nickname, barbecue, who al jazeera filmed earlier in the year. he and other gang leaders could soon be subject to security council sanctions. the u. s. is drawing up to draft security council resolutions one to authorize an international force. the other to target gang leaders like shall say, he is directly responsible for the devastating fuel shortage that is crippling

a country. by passing this resolution, we would take concrete actions to hold him and so many other violent criminals to account. there are still many unanswered questions. the u. s. is drawing up the 2 resolutions, one of which would create the international force, but would it contribute to it? and which other countries would do so. it's also not clear how other members of the security council will respond to this idea. already china and russia are expressing reservations. the view of the haitian people is also important, the protested, who place on the streets of porter prince. but exactly the same time the security council was meeting may prove sobering. for some, a number of people were carrying russian flags, as they protested, a new international intervention. they even brought a coffin, a symbol. they said, what will happen to foreign troops if they're deployed here. james bay's al jazeera

a day. the generators cost the civilians too much. there is no follow up from the municipality for the destroyed and bombed buildings. to remove the rubble permanently. the battle to defeat ices was just a start of a struggle for people here. and for those who remain the lack of reconstruction, health and education mean it hasn't ended. i said bag i'll 0 sri lankan author shahan corona to locker has won this year's prestigious book apprise for his darkly comic novel. the 7 moons of molly almeida and set during the height of sri lanka, civil war, and tells the story of a murdered photographer who investigates his own death from the afterlife. korean his locker says his rising reflects his country's gallows humor. slits. keep telling our stories. let's keep listening to a run stories and sharing our stories because um we tend to in sri lanka, forget the past and not talk about it that i.
