a russian missile strikes across ukraine, have left hundreds of thousands of civilians without power or water. ukraine's president flooding the zalinski says one, the 3rd of the countries power facilities have now been destroyed. he's accusing russia of trying to intimidate people as winter approaches. now, according to ukrainian emergency services, more than 1100 towns and villages are without power. hospitals across the country, including a cube in the city of denay, per, have been forced to use backup generations after wide spread power cuts, ma'am, and jam june sent us this report from give up a raj missile strikes across ukraine, hitting critical infrastructure. the 2nd day, the countries power grid has come under attack like at this plant and denise pro and this one,

and she told me ukrainian officials expect more attacks in the days ahead. the result arrest the rather the terrorist states. russia is making every effort to destroy the ukraine energy system. the main target is not only the peacefully green civilians, but also the critical infrastructure in keeps destiny on ski district. power facilities were hit by 3 missiles, leaving many areas in the dark. for residents of this apartment, complex concerns are growing. in fact, when, when the virginian, unless they have done the same again last monday. and today they attacked us again . and it wasn't just the electricity they worried about. water wasn't flowing either. 63 year old valentina has lived in this neighborhood for 30 years and she's upset june a you know, was, or when april father, this time they hit the factory. as a conclusion, we have no electricity and no hot water. and children cannot study at home or at

school don't watching more or 2 more. this is very painful. very painful, mostly for our children and grandchildren. for now, the residence, wait, hoping utilities will come back online soon. ukrainian officials say 30 percent of the country's power plants have been damaged by russian shelling since october 10th . and add that more blackouts are possible. they're urging citizens to limit their consumption of electricity. a critical warning as winter approaches and temperatures continue to drop. how much am ga 0? keep an eye on germany. a cybersecurity chief, has been faxed over alleged ties to russian intelligence services. his dismissal follows intense speculation, edison's, and popular television. she made the accusation and early october. dominic cane has worn out from belin. this is a very curious situation. the german government finds itself in,

in which the man who has been running the cybersecurity agency of germany for several years has been required to vacate his position on a shown bomb. accused of links to the russian security services. we know that the minister, the interior minister, nancy fizzer, wanted him gone a week ago. he is now out of office. the accusations against him are that a firm that he used to be in charge of was linked to the russian security services . and that's in some way he has been involved in conversations with people who themselves have been linked to the russian security services. what makes this more complicated is the fact that mr. sharon bomb referred himself to a disciplinary procedure himself and wanted to know what the allegations against him. ah, while he is now out of position. but it is interesting that other political parties, the green party, the christian democrats, are asking questions of the german interior minister as to why she has taken the

action she has taken. and it is worth making. the point here that many people have said that they believed mister sure, almost doing a relatively good job. it appears as though rather like caesar's wife, that he must be above suspicion above guilt. and it is said, the ministry has said that they believe that the in order for the people working at the cybersecurity agency to be able to be neutral and independent, mr. shone bomb, had to leave his job. certainly that's the view being put across by the interior minister an investigation until the damaged north stream gas pipeline from the politics. it shows that leaks discovered last month work was by blasts danish police, a powerful explosions blew for holes in the pipe and it's new. and when the north stream to gas deliveries had been suspended from from tanner moving on, and us president joe biden has promised to push the next congress to codify abortion rights protections following next month's mid term elections. but that

will likely only be possible if his democratic party controls enough feats in congress. abortion has become a critical issue for versus heading into next month. suppose, earlier this year, the u. s. supreme court, you'll recall the time and abortion rights protections up the federal level really 22 days away from the most consequential election in our history. my races election where the choice for the stakes are crystal clear, especially when it comes to the right to choose. all of her joined us live now from washington d. c. allen, as we've been saying this is only possible if democrats hold onto the house and actually make gains in the senate. now, from the latest poll numbers up a very big if well, joe biden needs to generate interest in voting for democrats. he's looking at the pores, he's seeing that the position they were in a few months ago has essentially evaporated. you remember back in june, the supreme court knows that it was overhauling the abortion laws here in the

united states that lead to 14 states banning abortion. many others have imposed very strict a conditions on getting abortion, but that led to thousands and thousands of people going out on to the streets, complaining about the decision and registering to vote many women men, men, many minorities did that. and they said that come november as far as they were concerned, abortion was very much on the ballot. and of course that the democrats had been behind the republicans at that point. and suddenly the gap got a lot smaller. but over the last couple of weeks, the gap has begun to get bigger. only 8 percent of people see that abortion is the top of their priorities in the election, which is 3 weeks to day. job widens, personal approval is at 40 percent. and so he's got to get people out to vote because at the moment everyone's talking about the economy and the cost of living crisis and the fact that it's really expensive to fill up your vehicle with petrol,

with gas. and so he's got to move the narrative away from that. so how does he decide to do that? he wants to talk about abortion. and he wants to make sure that people get out to avoid seeing that not only as abortion on the ballot, then there's the possibility that other freedoms could be threatened, such as same sex marriage that to could be at risk. if the democrats can could defy this, though to do that, they've got to have the majority in the house in the senate. and if you look at the pools and the pools have been wrong. but if you look at the pools, it looks as if the democrats might hold on to the senate, might even get the one seat the need to take over all control. but in the house, the pulls are seeing that the republicans are going to win. and that would make things incredibly difficult for joe biden, for the last 2 ears of his term in office. he would essentially become a lame duck president. so that is why he is making this appeal. why he's pushing abortion back to the top of the agenda, hoping to ignite democratic passion and get people out to vote 3 weeks to prom,

to thee. will it work? asked me in 3 weeks and we, well, do you indeed al interested air in washington, d. c. thanks, i'm at home. well to france now where people have been protesting over the rising cost of living man. tens of thousands took to the streets of paris, answering the call to demonstrate from left wing parties and several unions. natasha butler has more from the french capital, 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 staff. you've been on strike for a month to stand off with their bosses a total and now she has caused a fuel shortage in the country. the french governments attempt to end the blockade by forcing staff back to work or face penalties has inflamed tension. oh, it's terrible you rather than doing that, they should force companies to hand over their large profits to social

organizations. i love the i love. what do you think the michael the michael will crohn is like thatcher. it's a policy of the bosses stuffing their faces while the workers are allowed crumbs, but we don't even get the crumbs. despite the turn out in the city, it wasn't the general strike that frances trade unions had called for. many sectors did not take part. but for the public, some disruption, some train or bus services were cancelled adding to the difficulties people already face to get around with been a challenging week for vehicle owners in france, many factual satans, a still sort of fuel this pump. pierre doesn't have any pets left her at all, and even though the government has ordered some or refinery, so fact of the job, the situation still hasn't improved that march or simply overheard has yet to live a work for car rental agency has been hard for us to refuel our vehicles, we have to spend a full day waiting to re fellow tanks to leave the selection more. it's really hard

at the moment. i spent nearly 5 days looking for petals. i'm and it's tough because i need my car for work. my job inflations fueling discontent in france, but this political scientist says that the sort of rest seen in the country during the yellow, vast movement is unlikely. liberal prov, upgrade over the wound portal. it's unlikely that we will see a large social movement emerge that would unite all workers, because people all have different concerns, particularly among the working classes. so it's hard for everyone to come together with the french president has urged an end to the refinery, blockade and opinion polls suggest a majority of french people now won't the same. but these protestors say they won't give up their fight until their demands are met. natasha butler, al jazeera paris walk. meanwhile, french cement manufacturer, lafarge has been ordered to pay almost $800000000.00 after, as it admitted to giving money to arm groups in syria. u. s. prosecutors, they, the company, paid iso in order to keep

a factory running in northern syria during the war. the fars admits and handed over millions of $1.20 to 2014, even as the armed group carried out high profile executions. i'll toby cabman is an international human rights lawyer. he says the ruling against la far sends a strong message to multinational firms about accountability. it shows the interplay between corporate liability and terrorism. when you have a corporate entity which is effectively financing terrorist activities. and there was up to $6000000.00 that were paid by the boss, through intimate treaties to, to the, to terrorist groups. so other states, of course, can come forward now and should come forward and ensure that those corporate entities that are engaging and facilitating crimes. whether we see in syria, you haven't ukraine, wherever we sit. there is a responsibility to hold all those individual counseling,

corporate liabilities. one thing which has been lacking in holding individuals accountable for, for engaging in christianity and conflict. and we've seen cases of executives being charged with providing technology to, to around previously as part of the nuclear program. so we, we have seen individuals executives being charged with, with facilitating crimes. but i think one of the things that we also need to look at the syria context is as we look at reconstruction, there are corporations that are affectively benefiting from conflict. and so it is important to, to continue to, to send that message, is that whether you are an individual, corporation or state, you will be held accountable or still ahead here on just a change in us. immigration policy puts up yet another barrier to venezuela.

seeking a better life and drought conditions put millions of lives at risk as you one wants to somalia, if teetering on the brain, i anticipation is rising. and so is the where you read the width of my castle aways hello there. let's look to east asian. it's looking rather wet and windy to the south of china, in contrast to high pressure. that's in charge. keeping things largely calm and clear up in the north. that thanks to typhoon nest that is going to bring some very heavy fold to southern areas of china and hine on island as it works its way towards indo china looking rather gray and gloomy along the coast in the east. there though, shanghai will still season sunshine logic here as well. up in the north for beijing . the cloud is set to move in bringing

a shower to here in the logic here for the korean peninsula and much of japan. the temperature in tokyo has come down sitting closer to the average as that where, where the skirts, where we are likely to see sunshine here through the weekend. and we move to south asia, largely care guys, so much of pakistan and north western areas of india and new delhi thing, lots of sunshine, but also very poor air quality here for the south of that, this is where we're seeing the worst of the wet weather for places like carola, she lanka, seeing some fears, the thunderstorms as well in colombo, the east coast of india, also getting a drenching. but it's largely clear in the northeast for much of bangladesh as well as nap hole. and it's set to remain that way for come and do the temperature at 21 degrees celsius on thursday to with sponsored by catch all day with british political party. it with labor party is a criminal conspiracy against its members. newly obtained documents reveal members

silenced, suspended at full stack. my own says, unbelievable. free speech was shot down. an exclusive investigation. the labor files pop 3 on al jazeera. ah oh, how are you watching al jazeera? let's remind you about top stories. the salad russian missile strikes across ukraine have left hundreds of thousands of civilians without power or water. ukraine's president brought him, his lensky, says, one 3rd of the country's power facilities have been destroyed. you as president joe

biden has promised to push the next congress to codify abortion rights nationally following next month's midterm elections. but that will likely only be possible if his democratic party controls enough seats in congress. people in france have held protests over the rising cost of living. tens of thousands took to the streets of paris, answering a call to action from trade unions. while people have held rallies and chillies, capital santiago, to mock the 3rd anniversary of mass protest, they're against an equality more than a 1000000 people have taken to the streets to demand better health services, education and social welfare. 33 people died in social revolt in 2019 and latin america as hello senior reports from country on the anniversary of the social uprising as it called here in chile that started on october. 19th of 2019 is underway. it's been authorized to take part along, afford kilometer root, along this major thoroughfare you see here,

but already the protests of the water cannon rather. and the tear gas is being used quite generously the you can feel to what the, the tear gas in the air. there are tens of thousands of riot police deployed here already. and not too many protectors, at least, that we can see. some of them have been throwing stones at the authorities, but many people who would normally have been here have decided to stay home because there is fear of violence. in fact, something that's quite extraordinary is of the government has allowed the people of the capitol not to go home, but to leave home to leave work rather early at 3 pm in the afternoon so that they can basically clear out down the downtown area. ah, this is something that is very unusual, but the fear again, violence is not so much as, as rather become something more common and many other chileans. i've decided to stay home and not come out here and, and basically send the message that they still do want the social change. they had

come out to protest in favor of back in 2019 there was an attempt to write or rewrite the constitution to basically to put to bed the, the piano shay, era constitution. but there was a referendum just about a month ago that that decided to reject that text. and so now many people are very, very frustrated. some are showing that frustration violently and others by staying home. of thousands of venezuelan migrants are expected to be stranded at the us mexico border following a law changed by washington, venezuelans illegally crossing into the u. s. will now be immediately sent back to mexico. but the policy also allows up to 24000 people to apply for a humanitarian entry. if they enter the u. s. by air manual wrapper reports ah, security forces in guatemala blocking a bridge. those on the receiving end of the tear gas and pepper spray or migrants,

many of them from venezuela. this incident took place over the mouth that were river a natural border between guatemala and honduras. which was eaten that all these people tried to into the country. but the progress was halted every verifying whether they can prove they comply with the requirements to enter the country. these images highlight just some of the challenges been as well in migrants phase as they continue to flee prices, conditions in their home country. in an effort to reduce record migration numbers, a recent change in us policy enables us authorities to expel illegal venezuelan refugees to mexico, but allows some still in venezuela to fly direct to the west for a period of 2 years. as long as the secure a sponsor. but these migrants in the mexican state of chiapas are not among the lucky ones. despite the challenges ahead,

they continued earlier this week to push north. i meant the carry more. they got that. we just want to reach our destination ways that these people here will not stop until they reach their goal to achieve a dream that all of us were walking. want to attain. if we need to yoke all day and night until we reach the end, we will do it. if any, my god might have conveyed what we ask joe biden to give us an opportunity because we deserve it. venezuelans now account for roughly half of all migrants traveling through latin america. and more than $7000000.00 are estimated to be living as migrants and refugees. manuel rap, hello, algae 0 on north korea has carried out another weapons test near south korean. sol has used young, young or firing around a 100 shells of its west coast and another 150 of its east coast. they fell inside the maritime buffers earned between the 2 countries. and malaysia has detained 11
