a sense of community on as jesse era, i care about healthy us engaging with the rough of the world. we're really interested in taking you in to a place you might not visit otherwise and feel that you were there. after world war 2, frances great empire began to unravel and vietnam do most a heavy burden. he was trained themselves into the streams bursting with joy kissing each other. and algeria, he listened or she knew, asked if the endo chinese that managed to beat the french army. why not that? the decline continues and episode 2 of blood and tears, french di colonization on al jazeera. ah more russian air strikes on cave and other cities the day off to moscow pulled out of a deal, allowing grain exports from ukraine. ah,

i believe i found there a line from dough halls that coming up a political come back in brazil. louis ignacio lily da silva, narrowly winds. the presidential runoff and promises to unite a divided nation. arrested india off to the collapse of a pedestrian bridge that killed more than a $140.00 people, plus a chinese fake hearing. germany's largest container forecast, lack of controversy, fearing that it makes the country more depending on china as what happens with rochester, i'm start process we're watching from the honda accord with russia has once again launched missiles strikes against ukraine's capital. several explosions have been reported in cave as well as on the cities. in recent days,

moscow has stepped up at strikes, targeting energy and water facilities, russia, as accusing ukraine's government of attacking its black sea fleet. ari faucet has the latest from keith. people woke up this morning to the sound, not just a sirens, but of large explosions, concentrated mainly to the north of the city. that is where there is a large reservoir, a hydro electric power station. at once again, a russia targeting energy and civilian infrastructure, we went up there ourselves, or there were limits on exactly what we could see, what we could report, but there was no question that energy infrastructure had been hit and targeted. the earth mer of key of saying that that was the reason that 80 percent of the water supply to the city had been cut. and certainly we saw residence in that area. having to come to a park to use a stand pipe to fill up large containers to take home with them,

or one man saying that there was nothing that they could influence in all of this nothing that western powers could influence, that they would just have to stay positive and get through it. others were talking about the impact of the explosion, saying that they heard 10, that 4 of them were very powerful and close by a shaking the house in one instance and it had knocked out the electricity as electricity supply. there is, well, at one stage, $350000.00 households without electricity in and around cave. and it isn't just here that this has been taking place. there have been strikes across the country. a social media video showing smoke above at least one other hydro electric power station. and the russians are saying through the defense ministry. but this was around of precision strikes that all its intended targets had been struck. the ukrainians are saying that more than 50 cruise missiles were fired during the course of this large scale attack. and that 44 was shot down. and ships carrying grain have left ukrainian ports as part of

a deal allowing keith to export cereals. the un tacky a, an ukraine have now greed on a plan to move 12 outbound and for inbound ships. attackers, president says his governor is determined to keep the ukraine greendale in place. but how much of an impact has the grain deal had? well, before russia's invasion, ukraine was one of the world's largest grain exporters, ukraine and russia joined produce about 30 percent of the world's weak exports. when most invaded and blockaded caves black seaports, those shipments came to a halt. in july turkey a, i'm the you and we're able to broker a deal between moscow and keith. and since then, $461.00 grain ships have left ukraine. well, by october, expert exports had nearly reached back to pre war levels. are nearly half of ukraine's wheat exports through the black sea have gone to low income countries. somali, it gets most of its wheat from ukraine while laos, egypt, d, r. c,

and senate go. also, heavily dependence. missile said a has more from a stumble. well, we are at the kill your district to off as thumb ball where the but actually missed both for us right behind me. you can see tens of ships the wessel have anchored here, and many of them are carrying the ukrainian grain to the international market. so this is just a small portion of the west anchored at, in a stumble in total. there are 97 a lot of wessel and 15 in bond westhills. still waiting to be inspected by the joint coordination center in a stumble and according to the information that this coordination center has just why the 89 more have applied to be registered for the inspection. so today they did, the turkish and the united nations delegations have agreed to inspect for 15,

wrestles ukraine, accepted that russia also have agreed to pay a wide removed corporation be on security council is meeting to discuss the war in ukraine. russia requested the meetings, citing obligations if an attack against it ships in the blank fee, but go to automatic, get us a james base who joins this lie from the united nations. so james, i believe that meeting his actually started. now presumably the, the main topic is that ukraine grain deals absolutely. the main topic is the black sea grain initiative as it's known here at the united nations. and briefing the security council right now is coming to the end of his speech. is martin griffith, who's the humanitarian coordinator for the you and he's one of the you and officials that negotiated this deal in july. the deal that the un believes is the

one good thing that has come out of the month since the russian invasion in february that deal was signed in july, but managed to stabilize grain prices, which had been going through the roof. and it's worth telling you that since russia has suspended its participation in that black sea grain initiative, when the chicago board of trade opened today, great prices were up 6 percent. and this is really concerning the united nations because they believe that is going to mean they're going to be many people around the world again, who are going to be threatened with hunger and starvation around the world. martin griffiths addressed that in his speech to the security council, rebecca greenspan, who is the head of the trade part of the you and is now addressing the security council. one of the things that mr. griffith said was taking on, i think the russian reasons for the suspension. they said that they were not going

to take part in this initiative for now, because military vessels that were involved in the grain deal with the ones that were targeted by ukraine in that drone attack. let me just read you what he said about that. he said no military vessels, aircraft, or assets or have been involved in supporting the initiative by any party. they are not required. they are not welcome. so an interesting intervention there from the humanitarian chief of the united nations, the you and put, make making his case right now. why that green initiative, why russia needs to come back on board and why that needs to continue? clearly, after we've heard from the un officials, we're going to hear from the ambassador's of the various countries on the security council and clearly wanted listen to very closely with the russian basset and date . okay, good to speak to you, james. phase the and the us for us. hello to brazil. now where louis enough jojo to sell has pulled off

a political comeback. is one a tightly contested presidential run off election against fall right? incumbent gyal sanara. ah, milan one which is on 50.9 percent of those lance, just a one percent difference ahead of his rival, the toughest selection in almost 40 years. the 1st time sitting president has not been re elected with. ready key, the most essential task is to ensure that every child, every woman, every man can hop breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day. we're going to bring back the ministry of culture. we're going to create a public commission so that culture can become something that everyone has access to. so that culture can become an industry that produces jobs. those who are afraid of culture, of those who don't like the people and who don't like freedom,

speak to our latin american addison in human, harris law for us in south paula. so let's see what's happening, where you off the night of celebration. where absolutely some people are just beginning to get up. there was celebrations. well, went way into the early morning hours here in shall follow lula was here celebrating, also speaking to people on our list for avenue. but right now, i am at the headquarters of the lula campaign where himself is expected to arrive soon. but just a couple of minutes ago, the president of argentina, alberto fed 9 this arrived that is significant because he has been sitting president. she lacks, that is the region, the regional organization that was set up originally by lula and former venezuelan president chavez, who will travis back in, in the 2000. let's see, that was almost 15 years ago. that was supposed to create a kind of

a latin american european union version of togetherness and of end of coalition coalition to give strength to latin america both. so not all the current president of brazil hold brazil out of that coalition. and now none, this is here, probably they will be announcing shortly, formerly the intention to put brazil back at the helm and to continue to promote latin american unity and cooperation. we also know though that the, the ball, so not a camp is not happy with these results and they are not only not celebrating, but many of the supporters of president bush or not. i have been setting a road blocks around the country, particularly in the south, where he has a tremendous amount of support. they have been people, burning tires, and president bulls are not himself has still not said a word. he is not only not conceded defeat, but he hasn't said whether or not he will accept these results,

whether he will continue to question the validity of the electoral process and of the electoral court as he had done throughout the election campaign. i'd. so it, there is a lot of tension about exactly what will happen next. in that sense. we're expecting him to speak at some point through it throughout the day, but he hasn't given any indication that he will actually do that. okay, thank you for that update lithia newman there for us in sao paolo still ahead on al jazeera zonker is president joins mourners to honor those killed in a stampede. and so on saturday. ah, anticipation is rising, and so is the atmosphere. are you ready for the way sponsored my cattle aways, callo we have yet more right in the forecast for the philippines are to go through the next couple days. more of that in

a moment at present. some went whether some bluster, whether some when she went to the far northeast of china, further south this so little where the front here that just runs back up to was now gay. remember now gay as the storm that passed through the philippines a few days ago. that will run up towards the far south and southeast of china by that front that extends back into the open waters, drawing that moisture back towards taiwan through the taiwan strait towards hong kong. what have you shout, blustery spells a wet weather coming through here, then largely dry by this stage into a good part of japan. we have got a little bit of work whether into northern areas of china, but nothing too much to speak of by a large is 5 and try now into the philippines. and here we go with now the, as you can see into the open waters of the south china sea, redeveloping may become a typhoon for a brief period as we go through the next 24 to 36000 little weakens slightly. she makes his way towards high nan island, but coming in behind his own next system. not a particularly powerful one,

but somebody rainmaker. nevertheless, the calls the crowd is already saturated into those eastern parts of the philippines. it will make it where it's those central areas around wednesday and thursday, which is good for the floods i do with sponsored by cats on a ways. on counting the cost gigi pings grip on china is now tighter than ever before. how will that impact economy? what does the fall out from washington calves on beijing's access to advanced chips and the chinese people that pop electric cause an unprecedented numbers. counting the cost on al jazeera ah, investigating the use and abuse of power across the globe on al jazeera. ah

ah welcome back to watching out. as a reminder, our top story is this our shows once again launched missiles strikes against the ukrainian capital. several explosions had been posted in chief, moscow's accusing ukraine's government of attacking it's black sea fleet. there is in australia to silver as one, brazil's presidential ronald election, making a historic political comeback. the left wing, former president defeated the outgoing giant balls, not bind less than 2 percent margin. now placed in india have arrested 9 people off to bridge collapse that killed at least a $141.00 military teams. for such, he fixed him in the western state of good to wrought. official say, hundreds of people fell into the river when cable supporting the pedestrian bridge snapped. tony cheng has latest. hundreds of people crowd on to

a colonial era suspension bridge over the matcher river. in western india, the cables appear to be straining under their weight. in the aftermath survivors swim to the walkway, now dangling in the water boats searched in the darkness. swimmers trying to find those who hadn't surfaced. ambulances raced from the river bank, ferrying survivors to local hospitals. among the victims, a large number of children. it would be re thee, but to login. many children were enjoying holidays for the valley, and they came here as tourists. all of them fell one on top of another that the bridge collapsed you to overloading, but that he got no e. as the new day dawned, the extent of the disaster became clear. the 230 meter bridge now, just twisted cables hanging across the river, rescue efforts continued. but this was the search for bodies, not survivors and questions about why a bridge that had been closed for renovations for 6 months,

and only reopened last week was clearly not safe. your agency, your breed, got com, somebody a case has been filed on the agency, which was overlooking the building and maintenance of the bridge under section 3. 043. 08. and 1. 14 of the code of criminal procedure. big local hospitals, treating survivors. but the death toll is rising to in what is one of india's worst accidents of the past decade and painful memories, even for those who manage to escape. but he, marcia may be more lucky at 840 my 2 young daughters, wife, sister in law. my wife's aunt and her 3 sons were on the bridge, while aristo, than crossed the bridge. my wife and her aunt remained there when the bridge suddenly collapsed, and they fell into the river by recovery boats picked through the thick reeds, floating on the river. more than 400 people were thought to be on the narrow bridge when it collapsed. toni chang, al jazeera,

south korea. the president has joined mona's that a shrine in honor saturdays stampede victims in sol unit, so keel and his wife laid flowers at the memorial. more than a 150 people killed in the crowd, such during a how to win festival. a police task force has been set out to investigate. rob mcbride has moved from sol. been getting a briefing monday morning from the government on ways that he will deal with the aftermath of this tragedy. it includes things like the declaring of the area around details where the tragedy happened as a disaster zone. that way, it would then be entitled to various support schemes. there's been the announcement of financial support for funeral arrangements. there will be many funerals in the coming days, also for the payment of medical bills. we still have scores of people in hospital, but at the same briefing day with some very tough questions being asked. and that will be further questions about this, about the level of policing on a saturday night when this tragedy happened. which does it with the value of

hindsight to a certain degree seem locally inadequate. according to the many of the people who would that we would simply turned into the scenes of chaos as part of the morning process that we're going to have for the coming week. we're having the setting up of these memorial alters in cities across south korea. this one is outside of city hall at there is another alter across in each one near the scene of the tragedy. there is, i think, a sense of disbelief, almost numbness from people here in south korea. it's a country that, you know, he's renowned for self control. following the rules, and we saw that during the pandemic that people weren't allowed to meet up. so they didn't, people had to wear masks, and everyone wore a mask. and when people were allowed to gather again for things like k, pop concepts, offer protest rallies in march is then it's all very well organized, very well policed and very well marshalled. there are lots of questions being asked about how this was allowed to happen. we know from president soak y'all,

who has been down to this altar, that things will be different in the future that all that the, the staging the crowd control measures the big events in the future will be, will be looked at very strongly indeed. but it, as many people here will tell you, have sadly taken this tragedy for that to happen. people in israel, i'll heading to the poles on tuesday for the 5th general election and 4 years, a former prime minister benjamin netanyahu is hoping to return to power. now the number of seats are a parties when could determine if for my prime minister benjamin netanyahu comes back and and smith has more from lot in central israel. palestinian israelis make up 20 percent of israel's population, would have little influence in its government. despite the efforts of activists survey suggested, turn out as low as 40 percent in this 5th election in 4 years. there's frustration

the best time our parties have been able to form a single block to maximize the number of seats they could when they don't trust the israeli political system. that it will her be fair to them. her and 2nd, a big frustrated with that, i believe the shambles were that they did not unite in order to pass with commonly in the coming election that have more impact on decision making. and therefore, they don't see any reason if they have no impact. why participate in the last election? the conservative religious arab party, united arab list, became the 1st in israeli history to join a governing coalition, led by yale appeal that was formed just to keep benjamin netanyahu out. but many here field by the experiment didn't make much of a difference to arab communities that have long been under resourced. not voting is, this is an, an, as an important phenomenon that comes to show that this believe of basine ends in

it, in the states of ezra citizen. and the system itself as a system, regardless of who is in their government or not. we palestinians inside israel are repressed and we need people to defend us, and we need to send representatives to the parliament to stand up for our rights and our issues. a low turn out this time could have a profound effect on the direction of israel. the politics i think with the most important and volt ayla voters in terms of thermal, although palestinian arabs, who are citizens of israel, the more as them vote. and if their policies past the threshold, they move the center of the soil party system more up to the left or more to the antenna 20. okay. 2 years ago are parties health 15 seats in the 120 c classes. the palestinian israeli part is and it around just 8 seats. and paula which and benjamin netanyahu likely emerge with

a majority back in office for the 1st time, the cabinet ministers drawn from his rails far right. jewish national burnett's me, i'll g 0 sir in government is being accused of burning human remains to destroy evidence of potential war crimes and investigation by the syria. justice and accountability center found that bashar last ads government systematically covered up torture and summary executions. examined dozens of photos and videos. some recorded by syrian government forces themselves during an incident 2012. a show bodies being mutilated in the recording soldiers can be seen. dowsing victims faces and hands with petrol to ensure they cannot be identified and then kicked into a mass grave and set on fire. mohammed al abdullah is the executive director of the syria justice and accountability centers. he says he needs the public's help to

father in the investigation. we have 2 senior officials that appears and these operations that we did not manage to then defy. we're asking the public to help us identify those 2 people, one in the military intelligence and one in the military. that's one thing we are sharing this evidence with you and with different crimes units in europe with different countries. but also we're hoping to pressure the active mission to act more than creating mechanism for them to think personals and syria, to discover the 5th of those missing and syria will thank to understand with this, happened only in the province and all the evidence suggest that happened in different provinces and syria, and this is a big schema for military intelligence, operation of a filming what happened to be burning and set beating of body is killed and somebody execution. we want to make this evidence more visible. i want to tell the ward that actually didn't defying the 5th of the missing people will not be only possible if we access the military detention facilities or military prison likes at night prison. a lot of the bodies are actually other than in the inside the

detention facilities. they're buried in massive graves and the military and tellers on the government talk specific pictures of the face of everybody they buried and they know the location and the city and governmental ranking officials that are of the locations. and they know the identity of those people who haven't chancellor, all of shots, it's set to visit china in the next few days. but he's facing criticism for a deal with chinese shipping giant costco. his cabinet allow the company to buy a steak in hamburg, container ports that fast and reports from humbug after rotterdam and chinese state company, costco has bought a steak in europe. the 3rd largest port hamburg the chinese investment in one of the 4 container terminal for scale. down from 35 to 24.9 percent off. the chancellor all of shows came on the fire over the deal, but many in germany are still unhappy. i know i'd say about reform, the one hand they want to become independent from russia and on the other. they're

given away something so important. i think that this has been a favorite project of chancellor all of shorts, who used to be met and pushes his own interest. it's not only shows his correlation partners who have warned against the deal. there's concern outside germany to people in brussels, but also in paris. and a lot of other european members state capitols like there is, there's a lot of frustration and outrage of like, wait, what's germany doing? like, why are they going forward this? i thought we were supposed to be decreasing our dependencies when we're talking about critical infrastructure. and we're talking about the nature of china's political and economic system and the nature of a company like costco. i think we should be a bit more cautious, especially now in a post russian invasion of ukraine world. the fact that china doesn't allow similar investments in its own ports has also been an argument against the deal for some nervousness about the chinese think. here, germany's largest, katrina ford show company if you see fit,

that mistakes may will be made again, but so far the business in fact fails handbook fee and it would lose competitiveness against other european ports. without cost goes, investment the port was already struggling to attract enough business. sometimes discussions are a bit exaggerated because there is a concern and it's an understandable concern. what has happened in the ukraine? we take the concerns serious. they are minor from our perspective, instead of what we can win as a society and of course as an economy, like the chairman ones, but the whole europe as well. but other european nations have accused germany of putting their own interest 1st when it comes to china. chancellor shoulds plan to take a large business allegation to beijing showing he may be looking for more deals. while the controversy over the costco deal has yet to come down,

steadfast and al jazeera hampered nuclear power gained a bad reputation following the results of the turnover fukushima and 3 mile island . but now with soaring energy costs, nuclear has been making a comeback. and there's new technology on the way from reynolds reports. this is diablo canyon. the last functioning nuclear power plant in california, though scheduled to shut down in 2025. the state recently extended its operations by up to 5 more years. global energy disruptions caused by russia's war and ukraine and sky high fuel prices mean aging nuclear plants are getting a new lease on life. i think it's one of these elements that just add up to the the, the pressure to see if, if we can continue operating these countries,

including germany, japan and the u. k. plan to keep on running plants that had been scheduled to close . even as traditional plans like this one are having their life spans extended all around the world. a new type of nuclear power plant is on the horizon one that may change the industry forever. they're called small modular reactors or s m r's for short. i think small, marcelo reactor technology is really going to be a game changer for a nuclear going forward is some, ours are smaller and cheaper. they can be built in factories and delivered to where they're needed. so you could have some really remote locations that just need a little bit of power. that can be a blue for countries struggling to cut fossil fuel emissions. everybody's really having a look at the swa, marcelo reactors as part of their energy equation. some scientists say s m r's are safer than traditional reactors because they don't need externally powered pumps.

to replenish the water supply used to keep fuel rods from overheating. the reactor is, are, are actually immersed in a big pool of water and that pool is sufficient to cool off the reactors. there is no power requirement to safely shut down these reactors, so no meltdown. no. still other scientists say as summers, lack of a robust containment system, like the giant, concrete domes, unconventional plants could present a danger. but us regulators have already approved one companies, s m r design with more than 70 commercial s m. r designs on the drawing board world wide experts say the 1st s m, ours will be operational sometime in the next decade. rob reynolds, al jazeera san luis obispo, california. oh.
