a fighter jet crash into a building in the russian city of yates, the russian defense ministry says the plane was on a training flight when its engine caught fire. it had an, i'm sorry, residential block, setting it a light in other well use malaysia has detained, suspected operatives working for israel's intelligence agency. mossad. they're accused of snatching a palestinian man from a street in the capital quite a lump or and beating him as he was driven to a house there. he said to have been blindfolded and tied to a chair, then interrogated over video call by mossad agents. police raided the building and detained the kidnappers that skip more with foreign story, who joins a slide from column. for what more are you hearing about this kidnapping voice? while the abduction took place late last month, the to the palestinian man was having dinner with a friend outside a shopping mall in calling them for the incident happened at about 10 p. m. now
11:06 am
they too were walking back to the cough to dinner. and that's when the abductors intercepted them just as they were about to get into the car. now one of them was beaten and he was dragged into one of 2 vehicles that was waiting. the other palestinian man managed to get away and he alerted the police and the man who was abducted, he was blindfold, that he was beaten. he was taken to a house on the outskirts of quality for still blindfold, that they've been tied to a chair beaten and interrogated. now he was interrogated by the video link. and on the other side of the phone call, the video call was israeli agent. wonderful. had apparently said, you know why you're here now we do the local media report and have not named the palestinians who since left the country. but we report said that he was a computer programmer now and report. he was reportedly asked about his his expertise, what he knew about what the, what software the hallmark was developing, what the cape abilities were. and what he knew about the outcome brigade,
11:07 am
which is hummadi as winged. what he knew about its members and what he knew about their strengths. now, the abductors were reported the report the all malaysian now 11 people have been charged in court, but they have reportedly bungled. the operation watched the operation several ways . they allowed the 2nd palestinian men to get away, and this person would have been a more important target. secondly, they did not cover their faces, so they allowed the other palatine men to see what they look like. and they also did not use fake registration plates on their vehicle, so that allowed police to trace them to the house where the palestinian man was being held and to arrest the people and detain them. the suspects were most fat operators. it's not the 1st time florence that these really intelligence agency is striking in relation that's right. now remember in 2018, a palestinian man was gun,
11:08 am
down on the streets of call him and paul outside a residential building on his way to prayers on his way to a moss for pres. now he was a 35. your man called off. i'd ya but he was also a member of hamas and his family had said they believed more sod agents were behind the killing. hamas is also said that they believe massage was behind the killing than to attack on a motorbike fire 10 bullets into him for which killed him instantly. that the deputy prime minister of malaysia at that time had said that the suspects were believed to be europeans with links to a foreign intelligence agency. this was reported by state news agency, bernard. huh. and we're also getting reports that a malaysian source has said that an investigation has uncovered, that there is a more sod cell in the country. and the cell is reportedly said to be spying on important sites, including airports and seeking to penetrate government. electronic companies don't yet have a statement on the police or on malaysian government about this matter. but we do
11:09 am
know that a source has also confirm to av desert that investigations are ongoing. thank you for bringing a silly to say from color lamp or floor in st. louis, israel has summoned australia's ambassador after camber, a reverse its decision to recognize jerusalem as is really capital. the australian foreign minister says a city fatis must be decided through peace talks between israelis and palestinians . australia initially made the recognition under former premier sir scott morrison in 2018. we will not waver in our support of those his rather than the jewish committed in australia. we are equally unwavering in our support of the palestinian people, including in the provision of whom a humanitarian support. i would say that mr. morrison's decision to play politics, and it was no more than that because of course, we all know where the embassy remained at resulted in australia's shifting position . i know that this has caused conflict and distress and concern in parts of these drowning community. and to day the government seeks to resolve their,
11:10 am
sara clark is in brisbin with more. well, this was an election promise that was made body opposition during the election campaign. of course the federal government and now the newly elected ethnic uneasy government has confirmed that the government would no longer recognize west jerusalem as the right of capital. now, a monday evening, interestingly enough, the foreign minister penny one was denying. this is the case and that was simply because it was the head of the cabinet meeting which happened on tuesday. cabinet has now given us the all clear. now in a press conference in australia, the form is pretty long said that the strategy is committed to a 2 state solution in which he's well and a future palestinian state would co exist. she said this will be done in peace and security and internationally recognized board. and she also noted and having a bit of a formal government and in particular, the former prime minister got martha and that they would not support his position or any approach that undermine the current policy. so in the press conference,
11:11 am
she also noted that the final status of the capital should not be determined until the piece to go through actions with the palestinians were finalized. what was also quick to clarify and notice support for the israel, the jewish community. she said that i have the government under at the albany. he has equally unripe unwavering supporters of the palestinian people. won't scribe the decision by scott morrison back in 2018 as cynical risky, and an a political decision one to try and we know the both isn't a key. think a key blue ribbon, think not as went ahead of last year election. now, should also note that malaysia was highly critical of got more in decision at the time back in 2018. he described it as a humiliation of the palestinian people and the quest for homeland. but of course, and not surprisingly, donald trump, he applauded us and said it's a step in the right direction and a recognition of reality. so we can confirm the strategy. now, oper,
11:12 am
cabinet meeting. not surprised, but the reversal of decision made by the previous government that the federal government would no longer recognize west jerusalem as he is rally capital. and he is bernard smith now with the reaction from west jerusalem. israel's foreign minister has voices deep disappointment over the decision of prime minister jala pete who is running for reelection in the beginning of november. he says he can only hope the strategy and government matters manages other matters more seriously and professionally relating to the manner in which this announcement by the austrians were made. now the israelis had summoned straightly buses, but he'll have to drive all the way from television to jerusalem. because while australia recognized west jerusalem as it recognized jerusalem as a capital of israel, they never actually physically moved their embassy. like almost every other country, their embassy building and administration is intel of eve. it's only the u. s.
11:13 am
embassy, that's here in israel after donald trump recognize jerusalem in 2018, and also honduras, and guatemala. so practically little changes, but of course it's all in the symbolism of a countries. most countries recognize that the status, the final status of jerusalem is to be determined in talks on palestinian statehood and the palestinians want eastern useless as their capital. it's where most of the christian muslim and jewish holy site happened to be as well, but they want the final status of jerusalem up the negotiation. still ahead on the program, week side from us, mid term elections will be in one crucial state where the battle lines are being drawn. and argentina celebrates the legacy of a former president, while a major rift is dividing the party, he found it. ah,
11:14 am
anticipation is rising. and so with my cattle a ways there yesterday was a warm day for october and a good part of europe typically not a 10 degrees above average in spain, all way across to austria. poland. it won't, all last is certainly going to be some encroachment declared. the has been already and a change of wind direction will bring the temperatures down in some places. let's have a look at where. well, i would say typically germany derench the austrian, poland, less so in france and spain in the immediate future is tuesday's forecast. and there's rain to come for prague, for example. this storm system one way up he would just edge in to portugal hasn't made much progress though. during tuesday we have had the same small scale spinning low in east med. that's the one that's associated with the flash has increase is produced. huge down pause in cyprus. it might do so again today or tomorrow it's set in the vicinity. but anyway, there it is. the next 2 days was
11:15 am
a flash flood risk for cyprus. so as i said, the other side of the military and things are still warm, they will cool down. i think in space that rain comes in. and eventually in southern parts of france, the temperatures already come down quite significantly. burly and prague. down to the teens. it's still raining in south nigeria for the next day or so, and it's still on top of the flooded areas to with sponsored by catchall and i always jump into the stream when no topic is off the table. i don't think anybody should be born privilege to them and for the end of the day, we are the subjects of little family plus one person's opinion. but what's yours? amplify your voice. the judicial system in mexico is incredibly weak and it is not just corruption. we're a global audience, becomes a global community. those scariest part of those moment in my country is this toys for more weapons the stream?
11:16 am
oh, now j 0 lou. ah ah, welcome back. a recap of our top stories on al jazeera, this, our russia has launched more air strikes on energy facilities across ukraine attacks called 3 large explosions at one in keith. and we have been reported in the cities of disney pro. and so to me or malaysia has detained suspected operatives working for israel intelligence agency, mossad. they're accused of snatching a palestinian man from a street in kuala lumpur and beating him and interrogating him. and israel has summoned the australian ambassador after cambra reverse its decision to recognize jerusalem as these really capital australia says the city status must be decided in
11:17 am
talk between israelis and palestinians. a cholera break in lebanon is getting worse. 46 new cases in one death have been recorded in the past 24 hours. the spread of the waterborne disease is no longer confined to syrian refugee county where they've been at least 60 days. the civil war, a neighboring syria, has resulted in severe damage to water infrastructure as go live to alj. there is in a harder who's in the, a car, refugee camp in northern lebanon, where the 1st cholera cases in lebanon, where detected. tell us about the situation massena. how big of a crisis is this for lebanon? well, the united nations is raising the alarm. it's saying that the cholera outbreak is evolving alarmingly. it was 1st detected in neighboring syria in early september. the 1st case was detected in lebanon a month later, in one of the refugee camps,
11:18 am
close to the border. we are at one of those camps. it's really a fertile ground because this is a disease that is transmitted through contaminated water. so camps like this one is really fertile ground. people here do not have access to safe drinking water. as you can see, they're trying to boil the water to try to make sure that there's no disease, but this is really, this is really not enough for the largest number of cases in a single day was reported over the past 24 hours. we're talking about nearly 100 color cases detected in lebanon, and 3 deaths in a span of 2 weeks in syria. it's just as bad. we're talking about 13000 suspected cholera cases with more than 60 death, the number could be much higher because those limited testing facilities. so as you can see, the situation is dire. sanitation needs to be improved. these people need to have access to bottled water,
11:19 am
but they're just too poor to afford that. and it's not just that lebanese, it's starting to spread outside camp. so there is a serious public health emergency in this country and the neighboring syria, as he says, no artist can find to refugee camps in lebanon anymore. what's the situation elsewhere in the country? and how's the government addressing this crisis? well yes, the government is cash strapped, the economy has all but the collapse and they have been warning. the ministry has been warning that if they don't get help from the international community, the health sector will not be able to cope with a large scale outbreak. i spoke to one of the doctors involved in the committee and he said if there is no joint or coordinated response by all the different international agencies, as well as the different ministries. because this is not just the question of the ministry of, of public health dealing with the crisis. you also have the ministry of water,
11:20 am
the ministry of electricity, to make sure that you know power plants are supplying electricity to water treatment stations, many water the infrastructure here. it's not just a health care system that has all but collapse the water, the water sector, the infrastructure has also collapse. so the situation is it is very dangerous. and as you can see, it hasn't been contained as of yet. and this is what health workers have been saying if they haven't been able to contain it and syria, and it now spread to lebanon, then the possibility of spreading further afield to other countries in the, in the middle east, affecting millions of people. the possibility is real xena, thank you for that. xena hard reporting their life from the car refugee camp in northern lebanon in the u. k. prime minister les stress is meeting a cabinet as she fights to hold on to her job. ministers in officials have arrived at downing street. this comes a day after try says new finance minister reverse almost all of her economic
11:21 am
measures. she's been accused of running scared after she failed to address parliament on monday. nadine baba 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 reply with her. during the current economic situation is to speak. with apologies t pleaded the opposition and the house, the piano detained on it, had been fighting away. don't you question scared of our own shadow. the ladies not returning. ah, trust 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 in the growth hand 3 weeks ago that have not
11:22 am
been legislated for in parliament. so i 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 the 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 the next 3 to 6 months. well, the jury's alma less trust fired her finance minister quasi quoting last friday. and that joint project chasing growth by a tax cuts funded by massive borrowing,
11:23 am
has effectively been ditched behind the scenes in westminster, many conservative politicians are rushing to find a unity figure to replace less trust and revise the party standing with the public . but it's far from clear whether they can avoid further turmoil, or in fact an early general election. let's go live now to nadeem, who joins this fly from london. so what's the reaction this morning? nadeem after what was a very difficult stay for the prime minister on monday it was difficult for her, but it was seen as a sign of jeremy hunt, the new chancellor insisting on economic stability the financial markets. fairly positive. the interest rate on government bonds, tenure government bonds, slightly down on monday, the pound res, 2 percent against the us dollar. politically, of course, very embarrassing for less trust. look at some of the papers which traditionally
11:24 am
support a conservative party, the son calling her the ghost p. m. as she sat behind jeremy hunt in parliament, virtually virtually expressionless. the times says that huntsman cooper could be $5000.00 pound fuel bills, a reference to scrapping the 2 year guarantee to limit those energy bills that could bring millions more people into hardship next spring. politically, very difficult for the policy as well. and then the telegraph, we must take decisions of our watering difficulty, jeremy hun, quoted as saying, well, apart from that, those tax cuts believe that they're a tens of billions of pounds still to be met in terms of the show full for public finances because of the writing the written cost of government borrowing. one thing time suggests that if the, if the shortfall were to be met by, by cuts the public spending,
11:25 am
we could see something like the or 72009 after the financial crush. something that the your position labor party is sure to make a big deal about trust meeting her cabinet right now. nadeem. how secure is she in her job today? i think it will be a stretch to, to say that she the total secure, even less trust herself. in an interview given on monday night and said that she was going to lead the party into the next general election. but she wouldn't guarantee that. she did actually say that she was sorry for mistakes that had been made, but re committed to her what she called her low tech, high growth emphasis, what some people called trust. so no mix. well, she's not clearly not in charge. now jeremy hung very much driving the new focus, so that means that she is weakened behind the scenes, apart from a handful of conservative m. p. 's of coal is trust to go. many are actually
11:26 am
speaking to the chairman of 1922 but bench committee suggesting that she can carry on. that could be a leadership context triggered that would be of course, very damaging for the policy. we all, we saw the attacks, the personal attacks last time around all i could convene around, perhaps a unity figure. even jeremy hung himself or someone suggesting which you see that the former chancellor, whoever it is, somebody will need to come on to the respect of the parliamentary, conservative party that could happen as soon as in the next few days. been $100.00, which the committee looking at their rules which said that the can't be a context within one year. whatever happens least trust is a diminished figure right now. thank you for that. my d baba live there in london. frances racing for a day of major disruptions after unions called or nationwide strike, they want higher wages to counter growing costs of living crisis workers and the
11:27 am
government are deadlocked. many trains and buses have been cancelled. war counts and oil depots have also parked fuel shortages. at least 3 people have died in venezuela after a river break city bank, sending torrance of muddy waters for town and sweeping away caused the much slide happen in the northern fate of guar last week. 56 people were killed in floods in the same region, not to argentina where thousands of people are marking the founding of one of the country's most powerful political parties. loyalty de celebrate the parentis party, which supported say, as championed workers rights traceable reform. every october, 17th thousands of people march to the center of when a site is to celebrate the parents party and what they see as it's fight for social justice. now will it affect the values of parallelism? are more important than ever. we don't even close to a parent ism is the only movement that privileges and gives rights to the most
11:28 am
vulnerable in society. we have to be on the streets demanding, inclusive politics and a government that is not only out for the rich an october 17th 1945, thousands of people took to the streets to demand the release of coronel one domino paid on who had been detained by members of the military, his wife avita organized the protest. the couple became some of argentina's, most renowned political figures and less than a year later, but on was precedent. a decade later, the ponies party remains argentina's most powerful movement, their thick divisions with end apparently party. right now the most significant one is the rift that exists between president alberta, fernandez and his vice president, dan, former president. christina fernandez. the kirschner dos divisions, generate lot of uncertainty about which is the way out of the current financial and
11:29 am
economic crisis. money for a member quino works in a to his company and went site is he says there is no reason for anyone to be celebrating. one of the for think it's a little bit of their making my work difficult aside from the economic situation. i could not move around the city, the taurus i have to take to the airport will lose their flight and all because these people want to celebrate something that happened 45 years ago. argentine is in the middle of an economic crisis. inflation is close to 7 percent a month until now the government has been unable to find a solution and only say, the government right now is focused on stabilizing the economy. i had of next year's presidential election as director rigorous as well, but i think you are the only objective right now is to not lose votes from the heart of the pur, owners party, the around 35 percent, they have late, they cannot improve the economic situation. there's no time they don't have the
11:30 am
elements and they don't want to practice open heart surgery to fix things. the parents party is struggling to maintain support as the economy that he rates. but there are millions who continue to believe it is the way forward. in spite of the difficulties and an uncertain future that he said, well, as i see that when aside, if he was mid term elections are less than a month away and candidates are vying for one of the highest senate seats have taken part in a televised debate. i shot assigned is a democratic political strategist. he says the debate took a direction that may have caused both candidates, crucial support. both of the candidates focus not as much on the issues at hand, but more on each other's character and their associations. i don't know how many minds it really changed because again, it was hard to really figure out what candidates are for when both sides are really characterizing what the other associated with you might not.
