ukrainian forces say they're making advances towards care sawn as russia declares it's true, said pulling out of the city. ah, are you watching al jazeera life from doha with me for the battle? also coming up, the president of the u. s. and china said to have their 1st face to face meeting since joe biden took off his end and made strained relations. cleanup is under wayne part of the u. s. state of florida. after hurricane nicole swept through bringing down homes and causing friday, and the 1st luxury cruise ship set to be a floating hotel for well kept fans arrives and kata just 9 days before the tournament kicks. ukraine is warning that russian troops could turn care, sawn into quote,

a city of deaf. it comes the day after moscow announced its job, so withdrawing from care san, but ukrainian authorities, us cap tickle present. volume is lensky advisors accused russian troops of fleeting mines across the city, before the order to retreat was made as a bakery for some kiss on raising the ukrainian flag once more. oh, with these soldiers filmed themselves as they took the town of calling. if sca in the horse on region and they continued to make advances, taking towns and villages as they make their way to the regional capital, her son. but they are proceeding with caution de la battle, no green a proposal. the hostile is continuing the her, some regions, and behind every so called good will gesture of the enemy. there are tremendous efforts from our forces, so that possible exit from the her. some is a result of all active resistant christian. it was left behind a russian military vehicles and destroyed bridges of sobs. just weeks ago,

russia was telling residence that her son would be a part of russia forever. now they're leaving and the ukrainians are on the march. my islam muslims are with us. christians are with us, every one is with us. the all world is with us. but this is what's left behind, where just kilometer is away from the front line at this town has seen a lot of damage. every building has some sort of shrapnel damage, bullet holes or completely destroyed. there's no electricity. there's no water. and the time that we've spent here, we've hardly seen any residence. that's because many places in carson are still not safe. on our way into this town, we saw de mining crews on the side of the road. now the russian forces occupied the factory on the edge of town and san residence. did resist, beach us part see during the occupation i sent info to our military. i also stole

the russian document because i knew that in the future that could be useful to our prosecutor's office. the police now or the crane and military, all the locals help each other. i help people from other villages in town to get safety to the territory controlled by our korean army so that no one would catch him. who would be the hooper army? we met dang stuff, he's repairing his grandmother's house. up above the shell, hid the corner of the house and the local ups. so now we're building probably a new house. it was no longer possible to burn my family and i left people helped us to get out through the secret throat. it's going to be a real struggle to rebuilt this damage and destruction like this across her son. but also the ukranian forces that we've spoken to are not completely convinced that the russians will withdraw because of the hard for battles and cans of villages across this region. but even if the russian forces we throw to the east side of the river, her son and the rest of the country is well within striking distance for the russian

forces. but for now, the empty buildings here occupied just by the birds. i said vague, i just era her san region or ukraine, his defense may assist his russia has around 40000 troops in care song, and it will take them at least a week to withdraw. but as the rushing military comes on, the increasing pressure, lexi resume calls says he does not believe moscow will resort to using nuclear weapons. i don't think that they will use it. but ah, again, there you have a monkey with grenade lake and neighbor. you have to estimate all kinds of risks, but i think her, this is not a pragmatic and practical step for them. nato secretary general says rush is true with george shows, it's under heavy pressure in ukraine. we have taken notes of the russian

announcement to retreat from her song. we have her to see how the situation on the ground develops in the coming days. but what is clear is that russia is under heavy pressure. and if they leave had song, it would be another victory for ukraine. sergey markov is a former kremlin advisor and political commentator. he says it makes sense for the russian army to retreat from care san but that it won't affect support for put in from his in a 2nd. i think because it isn't, or is this a song? because a and it's not difficult to defend a city. also because of that was the last ukrainian

population part time less than the always that amount of you're getting and i mean twice more then amount a rush on it. the cool. so all that, that it, that, and style movie military may be decision, you can reach me on a spring and summer. and the last year was though, of course this, this is like i was going to negatively decide to rush, but that was the less but you put in southport i will stay the same on a bit higher level. sounds like about between 85 and 90 percent is because we understand how the stronger and your process was. of course not great. i would still be doing the ration you create is the one of the 3 united states of america and russian united. so i just used to approximate was taking care some probably, unless chance for you to well, you know, the world news us present. joe biden is said to me,

chinese liter shooting thing for their 1st face to face meetings. in spite into office, it will happen on the side lines of next week's g. 20 summit. in indonesia, the white house calls it an extremely important meeting. the leaders are expected to discuss efforts to maintain lines of communication and work together and challenges that affects the international community. washington is looking to mend relations with beijing, despite tensions over taiwan, the south china sea, the meeting between president biden and president. she will be an in depth and substantive opportunity to better understand one another's priorities and intentions to address differences and to identify areas where we can work together . because working together to address common problems is in our interest and because it is what the world expects of responsible powers, i'll just say are as laws in jordan has more from washington on the meeting. well, the tone is very pragmatic, very matter of fact, very much. one of this is

a necessity, not an optional relationship for the united states to have with china the us messaging that we have seen it, not just from the national security advisor, jake solomon, but also from other white house officials speaking earlier on thursday. about the need for these 2 leaders to really work through the future course of the us china relationship. they are very much concerned by people, by observers who were wondering whether the era of a new cold war between the us and china is all about to happen or is under way. and so the message from the biden administration is that as long as both leaders are talking as long as officials from both governments are talking and engaging on issues that we both care about. things will work out for the betterment of both countries, citizens, but they are really trying to tamp down this sense that there's some sort of

a looming confrontation between the 2 countries. and, and we spoke to gordon chang and asia analyst. he says the u. s. should spend his time at the g 20 summit building ties with its allies in that of china. we can take the comments that we just heard from the national security adviser from the president from the white house press secretary. and we've heard the same comments in the trumpet administration and the obama administration in the bush administration and in the clinton administration. so obviously we're doing something wrong and i believe that we should not be talking right now president by this time that the g 20 is really valuable. we should spend it not with endless and fruitless conversation with the chinese. but with our friends and allies and partners, the countries that we will need that the free world will need in order to contain a very dangerous situation. things have been getting worse and we've been trying to talk, we've been running after the chinese. and i think the united states in many ways

has made the situation worse over. busy long period of time by trying to continue dialogue. what we need to do is to stop talking about unacceptable chinese behavior as we call it, and start imposing costs. because if we do that, the chinese will understand that we are serious. man, mar, is expected to dominate a meeting as southeast asian leaders, but the country's military leaders won't be in attendance. they were not invited to the asi, i'm summit in cambodia because of their failure to implement a peace plan, drawings, 3 reports. it's been a year and a half since a peace deal was agreed for myanmar. but little progress has been made. the delusions with an as yet never allowed the process to go forward a number to the support from china or russia and will essex. that india also contributed to strengthening the hunter in law while russia has been vocal about it . support for the military rulers. i reports, published by a group of international legislators, says china support,

which mostly happens behind closed doors, as also undermined our scenes capabilities. myanmar student reported the uses chinese and russian supplied weapons to launch attacks on its citizens. one human rights lawyer says, understanding how the military works is key to resolving the crisis. it comprises a holy off the bomber ethnic group, combined with the buddhist religion. this is to be understood by the entire community that they are not dealing with a metal arm torso, they are dealing with he wrong at me, aren't organizations that has loaded over the other ethnic groups for so many years . rights advocates and diplomat say it's time for us in to look beyond the peace agreement and engage directly with me. i must shadow government made up of opponents to miller to room or even engage with those outside the block. it might be a good advice to bring other countries on board or other countries. wilbert success

in bridging the gap between video, scope of various people, conflict situations like norway for example, bringing the u. n. for example into the process who help speed up the process. one thing is clear, the crisis has to be resolved and soon mama, this plays out into the possibility of mark, becoming a new area of great power rivalry. russia, china are seeking access to the new notion dead dispels or the disaster for myanmar. and the whole of her as young, aside from the broader geopolitical consequences. the un special envoy for myanmar has warned the conflict has already taken a catastrophic toll on its people. florence li,

algebra still had on al jazeera france comes up with an innovative way to relieve traffic congestion in the capitol. ah hello. they will start in north america, and all eyes have been in the south east of the u. s. as hurricane nicole moved across florida at sports some very nasty conditions like heavy rain, it's likely to cause flooding as it works its way up georgia and the carolinas. now it will downgrade to expect it to be a tropical depression, as it meets up with its powerful winter storm that swept across the upper midwest and the great lakes that knocked temperatures down dramatically for the likes of minneapolis. and it is set to bring those conditions up across those north eastern states and on the way to the north east of canada. certainly by the time we get

into saturday, we are going to see some of those conditions as effect nova scotia. now, across more central areas, it is looking a lot quieter as it is for the south west, but we will see some wintery and wet conditions, dip into oregon, and california. by the time we get to saturday for the south of this fine and dry conditions and we are seeing some very nice weather for much of mexico, we will see the rain develop as we go into saturday licking down that eastern coast . but it is an improving picture for the likes of kang kuhn across the yucatan peninsula. heavy rain, however, affecting eastern areas of cuba and jamaica on saturday. ah, growing up in england country with a rich football history that woke up always meant a great deal to me and because so many memories of watching the tournament that i've gone from being a child watching games on my sofa,

actually presenting out of woke up it really is a dream come true. this is going to be really unique. woke up. we haven't seen anything like this before, so i can't even imagine what it's going to be like being immersed in it as a fan. and as a journalist, the drama thousands of fans packing out stadiums going to be really, really exciting. lou, lou watching al jazeera lie from till ha, a reminder of i told stories. ukraine says it's cautious about washes announcement that is withdrawing from care. san warning. russian troops, good turn the city into a death tromp ukrainian troops are keeping out their advances towards the city, taking back large areas in the region. us present, joe biden,

and his chinese counterpart, aging thing, is set to meet face to face next week. it will be their 1st in person meeting since biden to cough is to pay will hold talks on the side, binds of the g, $20.00 summit in indonesia and leaders of the south east asian nation, or southeast asian nation. same year, march, june, to is failing to implement a peace plan. the assay on summit, which begins friday and cambodia will focus on how to end violence in yet with vote still being counted in the us. neither republicans nor democrats have gained control of congress. republicans need just 9 more seats in the house of representatives to gain a majority, but the body is performed below expectations in the senate. they currently have $49.00 seats to the democrats. 48. senate votes are still being counted in the states of arizona and nevada, while georgia will hold

a run off in december. let's take a look at how things stand right now. the senate is neck and neck. the democrats, a 2 seats short of the number. they need to keep control. meanwhile, the republicans have as one seed advantage. those battle ground fates of arizona, nevada, and georgia, could tell the power balance either way. and this is the house of representatives. the republican party is in the lead here, but by a smaller margin and forecast. a party needs 218 seats to take control of the house . we nisha is a former republican strategists and political unless she explains why the party, the republican party has performed below expectations. was the overturn roe vs wade at the supreme court that lead american women to feel as if the republican party does not reflect them. there was anger, there was a serious sentiment about truly reproductive rights and what they need today. and that's why we saw the result. we saw republicans under performing when they should

have done far better than they did. longevity of the issue was certainly tough because we do have short attention spans as the electorate. but the reality is this republicans have made some inroads and done somewhat okay. in terms of messaging on the decision, the dogs decision, the supreme court, again a thing that it kicks the issue of abortion back to the states. so like i said, longevity into 2024. we're not sure. i think they're going to be other issues that emerge that show that again, millennials in gen the tend to be going for democrats far more than they are for republicans in much of the country. there is a bigger issue here and that's political extremism. and the issue of election integrity is what many republicans are calling it in virginia governor glenn young can when he ran for governor, not this year, just last he talked about it quite a bit in that is bringing into question the validity of the results of the 2020

election. now it baked into the g o. p. currently, the, the phrase election denial was the phrase election integrity would that really means is that there is still an appetite in the base of republican voters who are really litigating the 2020 election. that is not only harmful for democracy, but i think that it doesn't all go well for the future republican party. either. the head of the international rescue committee is warning that the horn of africa is facing both a climate and a hunger crisis. david miller been has been visiting ethiopia where millions of people are trying to survive the worst drought in decades. the means for humanitarian aid is very pressing. the fact that the large parts of the inflectional community so called of not delivered on the humanitarian appeal has been made for east africa is very serious indeed as an urgent need to stave off the

growing hunger crisis. the effects are being found in neighboring somali as well, which experts say is on the brink of famine, the drought comes after 4 fields, rainy seasons in a row, nearly $8000000.00 people. that's half the population are facing extreme hunger. italia cannon is the executive director of the u. n. population fun. she says women are being affected. more than men. the backdrop of conflict makes everything even more crisis laden or a woman who is leaning with her children in each hand, trying to get to where they can find shelter. the dangers on the road include everything like increased and underneath i once, which we've seen, in some cases, increasing up to 60 percent. moreover, the health systems are simply not working order. the part of the urgency is to be able to field mo, bile annex and vans. to be able to help people who are exhausted. i mean,

walk many any day. the further issue and i need to stress it, is that like every other situation, there is a gender dimension. but what does happen? somalia, 80 percent of people in need. women with their children and women have said over and over the piece is what they are after. so that they can get to the antenatal. they can be provided basic services not have to spend hours in line at the bore hole. for example, waiting for water in afghanistan, the taliban has banned women from entering parks fair grounds and james in the capital cobble. the new restrictions come just months after the government said men and women should have separate access to parks. women are already banned from traveling without a male escort, a muscle, so where headscarf outside of their homes. hurricane nicole has been downgraded to

a tropical storm after making landfall in the u. s. state of florida. strong winds in nor swells have left a train of damage along part of the face, east coast and heavy rain continues to fall causing floods. nicole is expected to move north in the, in the coming days, passing through georgia and the count linus. and mrs. j gray has more from jensen beaching florida. their conditions, well, they've changed dramatically since the storm made landfall in the early morning hours, about 20 miles north of where we are right now. we've seen some sunshine, some patches of blue sky want to show you the way they continue to be bigger than they normally are, pressing out some above 12 feet, but rolling in we're moving back towards low tide. so that's some good news because these ways the storm surge. when's over a 24 hour period or so? rain really did a number on some of the dunes that protect the communities along the coast,

ripping away several areas. erosion is a major problem right now, and it's allowed water to flood into homes and businesses. it is borne up roadways as well. and so that's something that's being dealt with. these conditions though, have also allowed cruise to get out and start to work on some of the down power lines here at the peak of power loss. we had more than 300000 without electricity. now that number is trending back down and look at the massive system. it's stretch more than 400 mile and wind stretching out from the center really affecting the entire state. it's now though, moving to the north, moving into georgia, it will go to the carolinas and then up the eastern seaboard and the, when the rain is going to stretch as far as new york before it's all sudden done. so this is a storm while it came in as a category one, then quickly diminished to a tropical storm. it's got some staying power in the sense that it's going to

affect millions over the next few days. here they will begin the clean up at this point many who went through e and 5 weeks ago. having to take a step back before they reorganize and start going again. this entire state over the last 67 weeks, really struggling and will continue to as they now pick up the pieces from a 2nd storm. now like most major, it is, parry suffers from traffic congestion, but a new service rolling out for the 2024 olympics is designed to beat the jams by flying above them. an electric flying taxes using drone technology on a larger scale to carry passengers. natasha butler saw its test flights north west of paris. at a purpose built air terminal on the outskirts of paris, a glimpse at what could be the future of taxi services. the german build follow copiers of fertile take off and landing drone. the speak enough to carry passengers

either as it will be open to a full community. anyone that wants to take an over to day out. there's no reason why they shouldn't contemplate taking am abolla city across the cross and urban urban landscape or across the city forum to, to get from a to be a lot quicker. paris transport officials planned to have to operational, val, a cop to roots for the 2024 olympics as the air craft a fully electric and quieter than a helicopter. they say that then ecological alternative to fuel powered vehicles. pull is certainly very comfortable and spacious here at the moment. there is room for a passenger and a pilot, but the manufacture. but follicle de says that in the future this service could be pilot freely. several cities in the world are testing. similar air craft has competition steps up in a potentially multi $1000000000.00 market. once we have started a mass production, it will be definitely available for everyone. and so also the affairs will go down

over time and we will definitely see it all over the world for now. fairs are expected to be around a 100 u. s. dollars for a short ride. a price few ordinary people could afford. yes, i would say so into a niche market. of course you always have some rich people wondering, saving some time, but i think it will be the over of for more of succeed. definitely. it's for a target leggers of customers. it's unlikely that flying taxis will replace regular cabs anytime soon. but in a city where heavy traffic is common, some will certainly welcome the chance to skip the bottlenecks on the ground to gain precious time in the air. natasha butler, al jazeera sergey port was ah, now with 9 days until the fif, a well kept kicks off in cut are the 1st cruise ship has arrived in doha to house

thousands of fans during the tournament. natasha. gwen him has wash. the arrival of the m. s. c. world europa right behind me. she is yet another reminder that the start of cuts are 20. 22 is near. this ship has 22 deck decks and can accommodate more than 6700 guests. i'm with bernhard stature with m. s. c. cruises to talk more about these ships. this is one of 3 that will be arriving. the next one is on the 10th, the 3rd one on the 18th. you'll be able to accommodate what 12400 guests. it's insane. why didn't people pick? do you think a crew ship option for a world cup and what kind of experience can they expect? i think to pick it because it's a destination in itself. so we have $33.00 restaurants and lounges. we have shows we have activities, we have slides, try slides, we have comcast, we have

a role at disco, and it's all a destination integrated. it's built like this serve because when we cruise normally people, so it's each circle. look for us to have an experience and i think here it will be also an integrated experience. so yeah, this cut our 2022 is a year of 1st. it's the 1st world cup in the middle east. it's the 1st world caught that's aspiring to be carbon neutral and for m. s c cruz's. it is also a 1st in terms of sustainability. why is that? and what can you tell us about m s. c, world europa, i think so sustainability is and everything we to and in this particular case our ship is bill to a we're for l l g. so our engine savano melon, she itself 1st elegy shipping this to rooms biggest so far. so liquefied natural gas, and i read that does their cell fuel technology involved to run into also hydrogen sailors, cells which go power to ship and it's important. and what's the benefit to the

environment? well, it's cleaner and is neutral. so it'll, it'll reduce carbon a emissions, correct? yes. okay, and can i ask you a, do you think it's so important for m. s c cruz's to offer this kind of sustainable option? i think it's the future, the future of cruising, and we have to be carbon neutral. absolutely. so this boat will take 2100 staff members to maintain over the course of the world cup. what kind of preparations go into making this kind of thing happen? a lot of logistics, a lot of logistics for finding are true for flying them to the ship, training, loading up the ship, getting all the restaurants ready and getting all the provisions on board. so it is, he is in the planning. and so we're here and we're excited to show it off to the visit of kata. thank you so much. i want to mention that our rooms cabins on the ship start at $700.00. if you don't want a cabin, there are many other options according to the cut, our 2022 accommodations.
