russia missiles running down alone, ukrainian infrastructure, cutting power and water supplies for hundreds of thousands of people ah, on the bucket, this is al jazeera alive from loved it also coming up a show of anger and from spells. and some people go on strike demanding higher wages as inflation source. plus i did receive in one of my generous board, producing states in the niger delta that just completely cut off from the rest of the company. offers. yeah. how struggling to bring it in as quickly as possible. how's the situation gets? yes. east africa is devastating drought which is pushed millions of people to the brink of starvation. ah,

ah. russian missiles of rain down on ukrainian infrastructure, striking targets across the country and killing at least 3 people in the capital key. if it's locked our power for hundreds of thousands of civilians, ukraine's president flor to me as the lensky says, one 3rd of the countries power facilities have been destroyed, accusing russia, trying to intimidate civilians as winter approaches, according to ukrainian emergency services, more than 1100 towns and villages are now without power. the tax on energy facilities are also disrupting water supplies. hospitals in different areas across the country, including the key is in the city of denise pro have been forced to use backup generators of the widespread power cuts. mohammed jam june has the latest from keith, another fresh garage of air attacks across the country across many cities, many regions, including here in heave. in fact,

there were 3 missiles that hit a critical infrastructure sites in the destiny janski's district, which that is east of the capitol on the left bank of the, in the pro river. it's about 30 minutes from where we are here in, keep in the capital of ukraine. the mayor of t vitaly cliff cove says that 3 people were killed as a result of those strikes on a power plant. that was one of the facilities that was hit and destiny and ski 3 people were killed. they were all employed by that power plant. also there were strikes that happened in gentlemen that to city neighboring kiva where water and electricity is out. there's also strikes that happened in denise pro and also in her here. let me talk a little bit more for a moment about keith and about the destiny on school district. we were out there a little bit earlier, or we could not access the power plant that was hit. but we did speak to residence there who were without water and power. and it really just went to show just how

tough things are right now. in ukraine. police in denmark say damage to 2 major gas pipelines that run from russia to europe was caused by powerful blasts. the investigating the case is an act of sabotage. under water footage, released on tuesday shows a section of at least 50 meters missing from the north stream. one pipeline is believed to be the 1st publicly released footage of the damage showing bent metal and a wide open pipeline at the bottom of the sea. the kremlin says the investigation has been tailored to place blame precisely on russia. mammoth vall is in moscow with more. he said that russia is a co owner of these pipelines and has the right to be included, but the europeans have made sure not to include russia, not allow it, not allow russia to have some share of that. you know, of that investigation? he said, you know, they also even, you know, try to choreograph the results and the findings to suit their own narrative and to

lay the blame or russia. but he said, that's absurd because russia has its own intelligence information about this. and they indicate quite the opposite thing that russia has been, a chas interests have been damaged. and, you know, logic there indicates that, you know, someone else has been behind this act of sabotage, which she and she is also described as an act of terrorism against its own interests. so as days go by and as more, more facts are revealed about this, the russians get more and more frustrated or at the fact that they are still denied access to this investigation and being there to see for their own eyes and, and make, make their own decision about this and is basically, you know, if they're hinting that whatever results the europeans announce about this, but she's not going to accept it will be happy with it until russia itself is

included. germany, cybersecurity chief, has been sacked over alleged ties to rossa russia. and interior ministry spokesperson says on a shown bomb as been relieved of his duties with immediate effect. it dismissal follows intense speculation ever since the popular tv show made the accusation in early october. ah, bill frustration over the rising cost of living in france, a sparked nationwide strike teachers, bus drivers and health care workers of marched and protests while war counts and nuclear power plants and all depots have drastically reduce frances energy and fuel supply. french trade unions are demanding higher salaries as inflation hits its highest rate. in decades. natasha butler reports from paris fed up an angry transport and energy sector workers lead a demonstration in paris to call for higher wages among them. we're all refinery

clears off for the east. moving into ukraine and to west in areas of russia, behind that clear skies for places like poland, little bit gray and dull. however, for the baltic countries. but if we have a look at the 3 day full key, the temperature is going to be knocked down rather dramatically. she said 19 degrees. a thursday as that rain rolls in 7 degrees celsius. now the rain has rolled away from greece and that southeast corner at 5 percent stealing with the worst of those shot was further west of this clear sky italy across the mediterranean. but that heavy rain rolling into spain and portugal knocking the temperature down in madrid by thursday. ah ah, ah ah

strike teaches bus drivers and health care workers of down tool, while war counts and nuclear power plants and oil depots have drastically would choose frances energy and fuel supply officials in nigeria, a warning more rain is predicted as communities across almost the entire country struggle to deal with the was flooding and more than a decade. more than 600 people have been killed and 1300000 displaced. u. s. president joe biden has vowed to enshrine abortion rights in law if democrats managed to retain control of congress in the mid term elections. the supreme court shocked many americans earlier this year, when it overturned the $973.00 ruling the legalized abortion across the nation. several republican states have now banned the practice. the only sure way to stop these extremist laws that are put in jeopardy women's health and rights is for congress to pass a law. and i've said before,

the court got row right nearly 50 years ago, and i believe congress should codify ro once and for all right, let's go straight to our white house correspondent, kimberly alcott and kimberly how important are these promises from the president for both the country and for biden's, political reputation well is pretty important, especially if you support abortion rights right now. in the united states, almost half of the states in the united states of the america do not have abortion protections as a result of the supreme court ruling that you talked about just moments ago. and so that's led to a lot of confusion for doctors and nurses as they practice health care in the united states. and the fear for many women is that more states will follow suit. and so, as a result, this is an issue that democratic voters and really believe is something that they

must go to the polls to make sure that these protections can be put in place. that they can, will elect of politicians who will put in place and codified not only at the federal level, but at the state level, the protections that they took for granted for a half century. so as the president talked about in his speech earlier today, here in washington dc, this is a consequential election not only because of the issue of abortion, but the fear for many of the democratic supporters is that the supreme court could potentially, if this has been undone, could also rollback other protections when it comes to gay rights o and many of the other protections that americans have taken for granted for decades. roy kimberly, and put the supposed to put it into context for us because of course it remains actually divisive issues. we've talked about another bottle was suppose in this ongoing cult tool, the yeah,

that's right. yeah. what's going on right now is that when it comes to this election and congressional elections are often kind of sleepy elections that people often don't turn out for because the presidential elections every 4 years are the ones that people really focus on as. so republicans, knowing this have really sort of amped up if you will, the culture wars, abortion is one of those big issues. some of the other issues they've done to kind of broaden their space of support. peel away those working class democratic voters have been to talk about critical race theory in schools. transgender writes, even funding the police and abortion fits right in there. it's very divisive, and it of polarizes the nation, but it also gets people rallied in to the polls. and so that's what's essentially going on here right now. what it looks like as we go into the final days of these congressional elections, of the polls are favoring republicans for the house of representatives. and it's

a toss up who's going to win the senate. what this means is bad news for the u. s. president who's a democratic party member, he needs to maintain control of the house of representatives and the senate to continue his legislative agenda. so that's why he's pushing this abortion message right now. he knows that resonates with women and younger voters who typically stay home in congressional elections. he needs to get them out in order to maintain control of both of these houses to continue the work for the remainder of his term . or i, kimberly many thanks for that can be how could i have the white house and other news, friends, cement, manufacturer left harsh has been ordered to pay almost $800000000.00 for giving money to armed fighters in syria. the company pleaded guilty and a u. s court to charges of supporting the isolate group in order to keep a factory in northern syria running. they paid nearly $17000000.00 to isolate from

reversed its decision to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. the australian foreign minister says the city status must be decided. 3 piece talks between israelis and palestinians. australia initially announced its recognition under former prime minister scott morrison in 2018. tel aviv will now be recognised as the capital where the australian embassy remains. we will not waver in our support of those his rather than the jewish community in his trailer. we are equally on waving our support of the palestinian people, including in the provision of him, 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 remind resulted in australia shifting position. i know that this has caused conflict and distress and concern in parts of these training community. and today the government seeks to resolve that a suspected serial killer has appeared in court in south africa, the biggest city a was arrested last week when police discovered several decomposed bodies that
