mm hm mm mm it's riley and lebanese lee to sign the historic maritime agreement to boost the energy needs of both countries.

ah, i'm sammy's a dan. this is al jazeera alive from dough hall. so coming up, slowing counter offensive. ukraine says russians, reinforcing positions in the south and east this winter set saying, well, continued strikes on energy infrastructure. holes power outages. libyans take to the streets to protest against the delay in census, but they say with lock development. we take a look at the security measures being taken to ensure this years people will come is a site for ah, israeli and lebanese leaders have signed the us bro. could deal that for the 1st

time, lays out the amount of time border in the mediterranean sea. it enables both countries to conduct off shore exploration for gas and oil. the agreement comes off the months of in direct talks that also ended a decades long border conflict. 2 neighbors have no official relations and are technically at war, israel's prime minister. yeah. you have the paid called the agreement, diplomatic achievement. discussions have been taking place since 2020. various borderlines have been proposed. now the newly agreed upon maritime border will be known as line $23.00 con perspective gas field will go to 11. it's extend southward across line 23. so israel will share some of the all the revenue kerry should remain within israel's waters where the extraction of gas has already started. smith is that the israelis evidence boundary in northern israel, 1000 being portrayed in israel. sammy is getting

a lot of play here in israel. the documents were actually finally handed over about 20 minutes ago, a lebanese village of nicole just on the other side of the border here with israel . we understand that, in fact, the lebanese in israeli delegates were in the same room, along with representatives from the un and u. s. those documents exchange formerly recognizing the borders between both countries. israel is expect to make a pressed statement very shortly, will be carried on all the main bulletins here in israel. because as far as israel's prime minister, yale appeared is concerned. this is a significant diplomatic victory, as well as a success. he says, for israel security is really after decades of hostility between the 2 countries, really, as far as this rose concern essentially a recognition by lebanon, or of israel's, of existence. they don't formally recognize each countries, but the fact of the lebanese signing this agreement shows a says israel,

that as international recognition in the fe, witnessed by her friends, the u. s. and the united nations. it comes good timing as wealthy. i'll appeal because our elections here next week in israel security always plays well for any body or van israeli prime minister to show that tough on security unsuccessful diplomatically yala. pete will hope this plays in to the election next week, which is going to be very, very tight. right. thanks so much bernadette. meanwhile, the lebanese government is awarded a french royal firm, temporary control of an offshore gas block. the foreign minister was optimistic about the agreement in an exclusive interview with al jazeera walk, the our law should cut the door to the total energies and its partners must start work in the areas agreed upon with the lebanese government, namely block number 9 and the kind of field, it takes time to extract gas, if it's there,

and the lebanese people have great hope that their country will become a gas producing country. zana holder has more from the lebanon israel boundary in southern lebanon. there is no doubt for 11 on it is about the economy. the economy has all but collapse. this country is needs really revenues and they are hoping that they can begin exploring, living on is still not a gas producing country. in fact, international companies had so far, refused to begin exploration until a maritime border agreement has been signed. lebanon has really been pragmatic about this whole process, even has a lot of the iranian back group, which really has political and military power in this country. it took a step back, it said that it was up to the government to negotiate this agreement. and it was found by any decision taken by the government. in the past, the group acted differently. the act, the group used to take the decisions outside the outside the state. so for lebanon,

yes, this is about the economy. for israel, it is about security. they want to guarantees in order to start production and sending gas to europe. and this is why, really we saw the americans as well as european france. france also played a role here, a minor role. yes. but the role nevertheless, to try to get this agreement done because europe needs gas, no doubt the or the eastern mediterranean is not point to replace the supplies from russia. but europe seems to want to diversify its sources of gas. so, all the 3 sides, you know, a vested interest in this, what people, what they're all calling really historic and landmark agreements. but they're also insisting at least lebanon that this has nothing to do with normalization. and this is not a peace treaty. and this is why we're not seeing any fanfare around the signing ceremony. it is taking place behind closed doors, and the agreement is being signed in separate documents by the different delegations will say. valan is a former israeli minister of justice. he says the agreement is

a step towards normalization of relations to spine, the separate signing ceremonies. on the one hand, it is the continuation of the game of enemies. we are enemies. we don't touch it each other. we don't shake hands, it is all separate in his own all economy. a, on the other hand, if you can never separate between such an agreement on the economy or other things and in the policy issues and the need to have peace in the region. i believe that had it not been for the air, his valor, beck by iran, it is well and, and lebanon would have been in peace already because we dont have real differences on the border between the 2 countries. a, but apparently his balance makes it now impossible. so this agreement is a win win. i mean it both sides say that they wanted

a got what they wanted. and this is the a wonderful situation. quite rel, by the way, a, and i'm, i'm very happy to see this development even if it is not a yet piece it between the 2 parties. it will happen. and it is kind of emerged on to wells normalization. but it is not on the session. and we should modesty wells ah, mccraney and forces on continuing to push back counter offensive towards the strategic southern city of san moscow appointed authorities of now fled the city, as well as more than $70000.00 residents. fighting has also been intensifying and ukraine's eastern regions with russian forces shelling the city of the dawn yet region. meanwhile, the rush military claims its pushed back attacks in several areas despite the

ukrainian advance local go from the probably need to fill in the, in the could be on the direction the enemy was up to 2 company technical groups reinforced by mercenaries attack the positions of the russian troops in the direction of nickaligha and orleans guess how to keep the region. all attacks repelled up to 60 ukrainian service men and militants. one tank 600 combat vehicles, and 3 pickup trucks were destroyed and russia has renewed the sultan, ukraine's energy infrastructure. shelling facilities across the country on 1st day here is now facing a 30 percent short fall in its capacity to generate power. plunging the city and why the region into darkness. regions military administration says cave must prepare for emergency power outages for an indefinite period. nearly a 3rd of ukraine's power stations have been destroyed this month. ukraine's deputy prime minister is urged refugees who fled the fighting to stay out of the country

this winter did risky pass breakeven in now. what? which to me, i'd like to take this opportunity to ask the refugees, not to return, we need to survive the winter again. unfortunately, the electricity network won't survive it. you can see what russia is doing. every one sees everything and for the to return now is to risk yourself and your children, your vulnerable relatives who may be ill. bed ridden or elderly says no, we're not. a hammer jumped june. is in care of for us. uh huh. you know, it's got to be hard when officials tell their own citizens, hey, don't come home this winter. that's absolutely right. there is so much concern sammy right now by a lot of the residents that we're speaking with here and even government officials that russia is trying to weaponized the winter here in ukraine. these power outages really raising concern among so many because the temperatures have been dropping

precipitously as winter is fast approaching. now let me tell you a little bit about how that 30 percent power reduction that you mentioned is impacting us here in the city of keep in the capital you had overnight. you have local officials telling us that overnight. there were kamikaze drones that hit this critical infrastructure facility in the key region that has left many parts of the center of the country, the readers in the center of the country, including the key region where key the capital is located. and sharon and heave andrew homier and other regions as well with a lot of power outages. let me try to show you how that impacting is here in the capital. this is a busy boulevard in the center of the city right now at this hour. it, we're not too far away from sunset, or you have a lot of pedestrian traffic here. this is an area with a lot of restaurants and a lot of shops. this book shut behind me. it has power. here's a restaurant right here. it does not have power, in fact, people inside they are eating and candle light. now rides,

just gonna follow here. i'm gonna show you some more restaurants here. this one here, again, candle light inside, which is something we're seeing more and more in the city of keep because of these blackouts that have been going on. but then further down the road, you have still the, the traffic lights that are working. you have people out and about enjoying their evening as best they can. right now we're not under any kind of air alert. there has been no air siren that his sounded in a few hours. so right now people aren't that nervous, but the problem here is that you have some buildings connected to one grid, other buildings connected to another grid at the national power company in ukraine has said that there are going to be more shortages in the capital there urging people to limit their energy consumption and that's something a lot of people are trying to do by turning off their outside lights. but the fact of the matter is, nobody knows quite now how much more there are going to be power outages in the capital. and as i said before, at a time when temperatures are plunging,

when people are worried that the winter is going to be weaponized, that is something that is causing a lot of work. sammy, i, thanks so much. i'm a jim, jim or stella had an al jazeera, a pakistani journalist laid to rest after he was shot dead by the canyon police. and the challenge of dealing with me in miles military rulers will have the latest from the ac, an summit. ah . the philippine sea is breeding as a tropical cycling, which will probably briefly touch on typhoon strength. it's not there at the moment . it's heading to the central philippines. it probably co across lose on later in the weekend is main risk is going to be that of rain. therefore lance lies given that takes much of the energy have the atmosphere and surrounding it. they'll be

big thunderstorms a little bit further away. it's not going to be quite as wet, but you come back towards singapore, some tylen sumatra that looks fairly wet next year. so where is java and bali? not so rather dry this time the year. now the ne monsoon is setting up, which is what it should do now, which means things are finally cooling down in southern china qualen down to about $25.00, which is where it should be more or less. it's not extremely cold yet in mongolia, but you can see the snow now coming through in the forecast temperature. still hyatt 20 in tokyo, in about the same in sol with some significant right only for her condo. and now the monsoon writes have withdrawn on the ne monsoon is setting in he a to we just got showers in the southeast corner of india for the rest of india for bangladesh and pakistan. effective diets caught and dry with increasingly poor quality. ah

ah ah ah the me welcome back. let's have another look at those headlines now is ready and lebanese

leaders have approve the u. s. broke deal that lays out their maritime border in the mediterranean sea. it allows both countries to conduct off shore exploration. the gas and oil ukraine says russian forces a digging in to defend the southern city of cat on those wet weather has flowed. it's counter offensive, but it forces on making games prospect another battlefield. that fact has increased fear. the kremlin could use the nuclear weapon a funeral for prominent pakistani journalist shad sharif has been held in the capitalist time about body was returned to the family in august on nairobi. on wednesday, sharif was shot dead by kenyan police and what official say the case of mistaken identity journalist had been in hiding for fear of persecution in pakistan because of his investigations in the countries governments in military, catherine sawyer,

in cliffy, she tells us more on the investigation the death of osh rod sharif has raised a huge debate here in kenya. people are asking many questions about the constance is under which the john list was killed during a shootout. now forensic experts have been to the scene and they have taken firearms and bullets from the police officers who are involved. now the police say that she reef and another friend who was driving the car fields to stop at the police check point. this barrier had been set up by the police who was allegedly pursuing a vehicle of the someone reported that he son had been abducted and the cars stolen now entirely, or the police will be looking into whether the officer was justified to use the weapons. why did the offices, for example,

of fire directly at the vehicle, if indeed they were chasing a car that had a potential hot stage? these are some of the questions the people are asking. now, officers who are at the scene said that they watched or thought by the coupons in the call one police man was injured as while an independent of police over psych commission is also on the case. it will be very, very interesting to see what they report because we know from the past that such reports are hardly are, are, are hardly a made public. but the police force is under a lot of pressure to get to the bottom of what happened. l southeast asian countries of failed again to take a tough stance against me and mars moultry rulers during a meeting of asia and foreign ministers discussions centered around developing

a new strategy in dealing with the gender. once louis has more foreign ministers from the association of south east asian nations, or either meet to discuss ways to resolve the crisis in miano, it's military rulers had agreed to a piece planned with other arson member states in april last year, to end the unrest. the country's faced since they took part in a coo last year, but there's been no progress. and the talks in jakarta appeared to have failed to change that in. but it is too early to mention in detail about the recommendation at natalie lackey lucas. that report because once again the task of this meeting is to prepare for the next month, summit implant bank, which among other things, will have a special session to discuss the implementation of the 5 point consensus. 9, the consensus calls for an immediate end to violence and dialogue between me on

most jupiter, an antique who opponents. but the conflict is worsening. this video shows the aftermath of air strikes by me on most military last weekend. they struck a concert in contin state, a stronghold of the kitchen, independence army, one of me on must major ethnic armed resistance groups. at least 50 people were killed. asean is under pressure to take a strongest dance against me on most military leaders. if i were to be in the position of a foreign ministers, i would burst on me. it would, it, wouldn't that within 3 months or before the end of this year, if i were to be an o, possibly reaction and you make this, you know, the part with a bundle. then the 1st thing would be, the suspension of the organisation has also been urged to engage with me on my so called shadow government opposed to the coup for those inside me,

i know it's hard to remain optimistic. we've been moving to as malicious and internally domestically the oceans for a political solution. they never existed hill, the june, her plans to hold an election next year. but it's being criticized by many as a way to grant legitimacy to military room. florence louis al jazeera, a violence is broken out in bolivia, capital, and in the country's economic hobble. santa cruz, at least one person has died during protest against the government decision to postpone a census. critic say, it's an attempt to limit their freedom of speech and deny funding to certain areas . casala was over on reports. for days, how test have brought bolivia, largest city to a standstill. the unrest and santa cruz was triggered by government plans to

delay a census until 2024 streets had been closed and public transport in teaching and schools suspended indefinitely. police were called in to break up fighting between demonstrators opposing the government and those who supported they're trying to attack us. look at me. this is all i have. that's it. the pro government support is armed with stone. ah, santa cruises, bolivia, economic powerhouse is mostly conservative. which puts it at odds with the liberal government of president with odyssey. oh, is leaders. see the results of the senses would enable much needed funds to reach the cities. 2000000 people say and so from very high we want to better quality of life. the senses is carried out every 10 years. if there is no sense as there is no

progress in health, education or infrastructure, our region is growing, but we are being left behind. ah, but it may not all be about money. some believe though supporting the senses want it to be taken in 2023. so results will be available 2 years later when national elections are scheduled. and that could lead to more seats in parliament and more influence across the santa cruz region. while protesters call for more strikes, the president has called for call. the, the government says, holding the census in 2024 will deep hulu to sign the process and ensure a higher degree of accuracy. the critics are skeptical. castillo, this is a young l 0. now surgeon field is among young children and parts of the rest is experts worried pediatric wards have been filled to capacity with

r. s b infections in some hospitals. it's usually causes fever, coughing, and runny noses and children under the age of 5. well, this year has come earlier, hit harder, and coincides with rising cobit 19 in flu infections. investors from cuba and the us have met didn't have on the hopes of boosting partnerships and investment in the island. representatives from $25.00 us businesses in the tech transport and agriculture sector is attended the meetings. it's the 1st such gathering since q, but e's the floor on foreign investment in an effort to re ignited stagnant economy . the us economy appears to be bouncing back, recording better than expected growth of 2.6 percent. the 3rd quarter economy had shrunk in the previous 2 quarters due to high inflation, and rising interest rates, inflation in the u. s. has been as a 40 year high, sending the cost of living soaring, consumer spending is up,

but involved investment in the housing market has plunged you to surgeon mortgage rights in the year of unprecedented climate disasters. a new report shows the window is rapidly closing on the opportunity to counter the worst effects of warming, a warming planet. and it shows an urgent transformation of the way we live, is our only option. our environment editor net park explains. this is the latest un emissions got report, it's called the closing window, and it makes for uncomfortable reading to say the least. it shows the gap between where we need to be in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and where we actually are right now. the temperature has increased by around $1.00 degrees celsius since pre industrial times. the paris agreements goal is to keep the temperature right. so ideally, no more than one and a half degrees celsius, but we're not even close. current national commitments to scale back fossil fuels

leave is hurtling to at least 2.4 degrees celsius in cold scientific terms. this report tells us what nature has been telling us all year through floods, through fuzz, and through storms that were in deep trouble. and when moving from a situation of the climate, crises rapidly to the situation of climate catastrophe averages and the area increase in temperature. so it will event, mary, to increase in temperature $2.00 degrees. that to me for even more increase in parts of africa. so it's going to have huge implications and then it be very, i'm equally distributed around the world. and they will affect the people that are the poorest and the more most vulnerable the most. now the report says to get on track, we need to reform the global economy from food systems to electricity supply from construction to transport. we need a total reset as false as possible,

but somehow that has to be done without leaving developing nations behind who are not responsible in any way for any of this. developing nations have not caused this problem, but they're gonna have to be part of the solution if we want to keep the parents agreement temperature alive. because even if developed nations to historically have been causing this problem, even though they reduce them, which is to syria tomorrow, that wouldn't be sufficient. so we basically need to get all countries on board on this end to do so will require a new, a new way of thinking. of course, there are some signs of progress, for example, more and more renewable energy is coming online every day. but it's not enough and which nations need to step up before the window of opportunity slam shot cut? her security forces have been stress testing their preparations for the world comp . they to part an exercise including rowdy fans. protesters suspects packages,

even hijacked vehicles. some been jervey reports, i passionate crowd ahead, comfortable with the security officers thinking pump in the exercise. holding weapons, which means nation arabic hasn't of civilian and military officials from butter. and 13 of the countries are doing the final stress tests. a joint guthrie turkish unit is responding to a bomb threat. as the match continues inside. the are pulling out all the stops to prepare for any eventuality. all the while there will be charged crowds inside and outside the stadium. and among them, a few troublemakers drunken, disorderly behavior ah, and hooliganism concerns authority, a to clogging just

with people would be rowdy. and that is what security forces you are preparing for. how to handle those people and what to do with them next equals. want to know, how will the security forces respond? somebody who's making trouble on the streets or even to beat them up? are you going to deport them? what will you do? everyone is will come and kill into what we are looking for. it to show respect to our culture and to tradition. we are here and this what's an exercise to overcome any scenarios in this case, to make sure that everyone is safe and secure, and this in our country and to reach the goal. a unique tournament eva, in addition to the 11 ministry, the other military insecurity, experts from pakistan, saudi arabia, jordan to wait front, germany colon, italy, spain, the u. s. the u. k, and turkey are involved for those who don't speak english,
