mia mas, military rulers, under the spotlights as late as of southeast asia nations gather for a summit. ah, hello them, nora kyle, this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up. yes, present, joe biden set told his 1st face to face meeting with china's chin ping and the 2 liters. try to manage strained relations. ukrainian forces make further advances towards cason. as russia says, its troops a withdrawing from the city and clean up and away in the us state of florida. harcum the co brings down homes and causes flooding. ah se asia ada's army thing in cambodia is capsule put on pen man while be topping the

as an agenda, but the gender has not been invited. the military took power and made more in february last year. i'll sing democratically elected leader unsung suit. she, if has since lost a widespread violent crack down against opposition and armed ethnic groups, the issue has divided the 10 member log. let's bring in tony cheney joins us now from prom pen following that summit as it gets under way. it's already how much influence is as young as you have over me and more, especially at this summit where the jones has not even been invited. it hasn't been a, it is going to be tough with the agenda, but i think very much behind closed doors. it were didn't feature at all in prime minister and sends opening statement at the, at the summit opening a couple of hours ago. nonetheless, we know that sir essene is, is very keen to do something about it. last year they introduced a 5 point plan towards peace that they tried to push on the ruling generals in

myanmar. if frankly, nothing has happened at all and fate, sir, mere mars generals of really delivered a slap in the face. not just as yet, but hans and himself who went to myanmar to chime, pushed them to do more of what they do now. i think is the big question that is facing them. there were some released leaked documents yesterday that purported to be behind the, the plans that they're going to be discussing over the next couple of those. they seemed to suggest the assay is going to continue pushing this 5 point plan, despite the fact that it had very little traction. we know within as yet, there's quite a big divide between those nations of assia, of maritime massey and the mainland su mainland us in wanting to appease the generals. countries like the philippines, indonesia, or singapore want to take a harder line. but i think there is also a concern here that if they pushed the generals too far,

they could just turn away and look to other alliances. we've seen male mars generals getting much closer to the russians over the past 12 months. if they did that, they could break away and some fear that could even to threaten the structure of afghan itself at the us presence, joining as the and to my and saturday, also delegations from russia as well as china. and what concern is there that international issues and i got a hijack regional agenda? well i think given the miramar as such a complicated issue, some of the leaders have be very hard, but very, very keen to talk about. other things are we saw and some talking about the war in ukraine. the rising inflation crisis or the global supply chain problems and post cupboard recovery. and i think those are going to be things very much on the agenda . those are obviously global issues, but they are having a urine and a big impact here in the region as well. i think

a lot of people will be wanting to ask joe biden, about the inflation, the strength of the dollar, affecting a lot of the economies in this region to find out what he's gonna do about it. and that may top the, the discussions over the next couple of days. i think the fact that the russians, the chinese and the americans are all going to be here has to be taken in the context of what's happening this week. this is just the 1st of 3 summits here and, and on per, we've got serve g, 20 and barley in the middle of the week. and then apec, in bangkok towards next weekend. so that, that this is probably going to be the start of conversations between those 3 nations. there won't conclude until banker think there's also a concern here. the leaders statement, which is traditionally issued at the end of the assay, an summit with so many contentious issues might be very complicated to formulate. nonetheless, it, as often happens in these things, some kind of a formula is made to appease everybody concerned. it may have to be considerably watered down than egg focus on a's at this coming week. taint, ang,

thanks very much. as you just mentioned, chinese officials are also in cambodia for talks on the sidelines of as the an hattrick folk tells us what be jang hopes to achieve their which on his relationship with our psion is becoming increasingly important. and beijing has been developing a regional charm offensive assaults with vice premier hon jane recently having vis that singapore. beijing also hosted sir the anom sladen young fruit wrong. shortly after present sheet pink secured his historic 3rd term as china's leader. remember, he was the 1st foreign leader to come to china following the party congress that was highly symbolic in many ways. now. primly kitchen is in cambodia for a 6 day visit, which includes china's participation in the assay and plus 3 summit also involving japan and south korea and extra time was made to him to meet with can boating leader, hon san and all ready. just after arriving there,

he is signed off on the developments aid package with the country. and the focus of this relationship with china is very much based on trade. se asia has become china's largest trading partner with trade and 2021 valued at nearly $900000000000.00. the 2 sides do have an existing, a trade agreement where 90 percent of goods traded are terror free. it's also particularly important for china because a lot of goods that are manufactured in the southeast asia are exported to china for final assembly and re export to other countries. so china's very keen, also to enhance that free trade agreement a, particularly as it's facing some severe economic headwinds, it wants to keep supply chains and markets open in particular. it's also a battle grand for influence against the u. s. aware present biden is also launched

. the indo pacific economic framework, which aims to promote fair trade and sustainable supply chains. a u. s. president joe biden has just left a joint base, andrews and maryland for his 1st trip abroad since the midterm elections. he'll be delivering remarks at the top $27.00 meeting at sean will shake in egypt. and as we just heard, he'll be attending the as the, and summit in cambodia as well as the g 20 summit and indonesia next week where he is set to meet chinese president. she jin ping muslim. jordan, take a look at the president's schedule. interested you as president joe biden will meet with chinese president. she's jumping on monday at the g. 20 summit in indonesia at the end of a trip that will take them to the cop $27.00 climate summit in egypt. and to the asi, on an east asia, summits in cambodia and one issue the president says he wants to address beijing expansion of its military, including its nuclear arsenal. i think talk about nuclear weapons and location. a

number of them and access is important to discuss. she and biden will also discuss north korea, chinese trade policy, the response to cov, it, and other public health threats and global warming. i don't think you should look at this meeting as one in which there's going to be specific. deliverables announced rather the 2 leaders are going to give direction to their teams to work on a number of areas. both areas where we have differences and areas where we can work together. competing with and out doing beijing's international influence is official u. s. policy, according to the recently released us national security strategy, quote, the contest to write the rules of the road and shape the relationships that govern global affairs is playing out in every regent and across economics. technology, diplomacy, development, security, and global governance. analysts say,

not only will this policy add a layer of tension to the she biden meeting, but washington cannot assume it has allies in that fight. it's easier said than done though, for sure. because so many of these countries and ozzy on, and the g 20, they don't want to be positioned in the u. s. camp. they want to have the freedom to engage with both the u. s. and china, particularly economically biden and she's meeting will be perhaps the most important since richard nixon met with mel z a dong and 1972 a chance for both the u. s. and china to decide how their relationship will proceed . rosalyn jordan al jazeera now residents from the castle leech and have been evacuated to north and crimea by russian officials. that's after moscow ordered one of the wars biggest retreats. moscow was ordered trips to withdraw from the russian held area on the west bank of his neat pro river, as includes curse on sissy,

he only regional capsule that is his captions since the invasion began in february . mcclain's warning russian troops could turn cursed on into what they've called a city of death as they withdraw president vladimir zalinski, the adviser has accused russian troops of planting mines throughout the city before the order to retreat was made. as i beg reports from cas on raising the ukrainian flag once more. oh, these soldiers filmed themselves as they took the town of calling if sca in the horses 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. villa bottle, no green, and portable. the hostile is continue in the her, some regions, and behind every so called good will gesture of the enemy. there are tremendous efforts from our forces. so the possible exit from the her, some is a result of all active resistor encryption and what's left behind

a russian military vehicles and destroyed bridges. 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 is hardly seen and the residence beach, us port sea 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 queen and army, so that no one would catch him when he was with hooper army. we met dang slough whose repairing his grandmother's house up above the shell, hid the corner of the house and woke up. 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 shots. it's going to be a real struggle to rebuilt this damage and destruction like this across her son. but also the ukrainian forces that we've spoken to and 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 big. i just for her son, region ukraine's defense minister says russia has around $40000.00 troops in person,

and it will take them at least a week to withdraw both as the russian military comes on the increasing pressure alexi rest. nicole 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, like a neighbor. you have to estimate all kinds of risks. but i think this is not the plague magic and practical step for them that i had her on our to sarah, peruse and baffled present when support and protested. despite accusations of corruption, france comes up with a lift of way to relieve traffic congestion in the capitol. ah,

how low they will start in north america and all eyes have been in the southeast 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 life 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 thinking 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 a yucatan peninsula heavy rain. however, affecting eastern areas of cuba and jamaica on saturday. ah, it is the professional duty of journalists to report the truth accurately and impartially. but to do so in mexico, they must 1st be successful at staying a fatal attack. some journalist continue to rise full plans, reports on the risks they confront in one of the deadliest countries in the world. for those, bringing the troops to mike, silenced the killing of journalists and mexico. wanna just you,

lou? ah, kind of again, you're watching out, is there a has reminder of all the top stories this our southeast asian lead is a meeting in cambodia, capital prom pen? me and mom will be talking discussions about the judge has not been invited. issue has divided the 10 member block. yes, president joe biden and china, she didn't bring us that to meet face to face next week. it will be the 1st impressed me think 5 and took off it. that will hold talks on the sidelines of the g. 20 summit in indonesia. and ukraine says it's cautious about roches announcements of withdrawing from custom. wanting russian troops could turn this

into a death trap. ukrainian troops keeping up their advances towards the city. take you back large areas of the region now without still being counted in the us, neither republicans nor democrats have yet gained control of congress. republicans need just 9 more seats in house of representatives to gain a majority. the parties been performing below expectations in the senate. they currently have $49.00 seats for the democrats. 48. senate votes are still being counted in the states of arizona and nevada. georgia will be holding a run off in december. let's take a quick look at how things stand right now. we've got the senate, neck and neck. democrats just 2 seats short of the number they need to keep control and the republicans with a one seat advantage. also 2 seats short of taking control those battleground

states of arizona and nevada and georgia could tilt the power balance either way. this is the house of representatives, the republican party here is in the lead, but by a much smaller margin, then that was forecast on part. he needs 218 seats to take control there. mike, hannah has more on the vote count from washington dc. there still a massive amount of votes to be countered, but it appears that the republicans are inching towards control of the house of representatives at present. they need another 9 seats to get to that magic figure of $218.00, which would give them a majority in the house. as to the senate, though, that is also a exceedingly tight race. they are 3 key seats outstanding, which is in nevada, arizona, and ga. now, the democrats are leading slightly in both arizona and nevada. if they win those 2 seats, they will get control of the senate. however, if the results are split,

then it's going to be down to the wire in georgia where a runoff election will be held on december the 6th. why is the voting taking so long? while this is largely due to the massive amount of postal votes that were used in california, for example, where postal voting has been traditionally a preferred method of voting a, some 60 percent of the votes have only been counted to date. so this just shows the massive effort that has to be put in to get through those postal votes in particular to get to the turtles. but we are still looking at a number of days, a congress be reforms and sits again in d. c next week. but in all likelihood, they will not know who will be controlling the house or the senate come january next year. or the midterm elections produce several fasts. the less includes the fast muslim women, and george's lester, 929 year old democrat romance says she will work to change the next perception of

the ab community in the us. they, our community has been here on since the inception of this country. and i think sometimes that is forgotten the united states histories, intertwined with an arab country. the 1st country organize. it wasn't our country. and yes, our numbers have grown, but i think again, the differences thought the arab communities across the community. the muslim community has really mobilized and built an infrastructure to support candidates like myself in a way that didn't happen before. but at the same time, kind of like myself, have begun to find their voices in a way that transcends just identity. in a way that's inner sectional in a way that works with other groups as well. you know, in my district, the majority of us are not muslim. majority of us are not era. but the beautiful thing is that these minority groups have built a coalition in a state where unfortunately a lot of leadership view them as a threat and we are standing up and saying, no, we're not as right. we are part of the community and we want to make ga the best that it can possibly be. unfortunately, a state legislature,

i have very little impact on foreign policy by sincerely hope that when people see a palestinian in office. but it will make them think twice about considering the policy new people as simply a nuisance or terrorist or whatever the case may be. i remind people that when i was in high school, i had a teacher question me and whether or not my failing, i had typed the terrorism and that is unexpected. and we need to change the perception that we have about palestinians in this country. and i really hope that i can be a part of that, at least the nice a plane out of their agenda, sharing apple aqua has addressed a un commission investigating reported abuses in palestinian territories. lena, i blacklist, spoke at the commission along with palestinian journalists who recounted violations they've faith was trying to do their jobs. you embody, found that sharina was like, be deliberately killed by israeli forces in may. she was on assignment in the occupied westbank. the grief anger, sadness and trauma that we as

a family have had to endure and continue to endure is painful beyond words. we did not only lose a renown journalist, but we lost our one and on the aunt, my father lost his only sister. and it's very difficult to put into words into explained the suffering. but this is exactly what injustice feels like the killing of shooting could have been avoided if there was accountability for the countless crimes committed by the israeli army in the past. or for the numerous journalists who were targeted and killed as i had been drove, it has more from geneva. well, it is for the 1st time, mastery and skilling. an official and impartial body is listening to actually what happened, taking account of what happened, taking witness testimonies of the events that led to shooting death and what happened afterwards as well. and i was speaking to lena, i work like just before she went on the podium and she was telling me that it doesn't matter how many times she repeats itself. she repeats what happen every

single time it takes a toll on her and her family when they have to re live that memory. and that's something that we've been hearing, not just from sharina family, we've been hearing from the palestinian journalist syndicate as well. and powerful testing needs about how journalists have been killed by israeli forces with impunity for years. decades rather, not just palestinian journalists, but everyone who, according to them reads its voice for the palestinian people. they say that it is a systemic targeting of journalists by the israeli government, which they call an occupation and forth. they say there is a war against a journalist and media institution which is being carried out. and there warned that if the world fails to act, this vitality, these killings, these targeting of attacks, according to them, more than $800.00 violations of journalists and basic freedoms of, for journalists, every year is happening in the occupied palestinian territories. so on why the picture this is a hearing which is being carried out by the human rights commission. it does not

hold any legal binding or it is not going to be conclusive. but this is going to be some sort of rated as an official investigation, as official accounts, which are being recorded and noted, and palestinians that are hopeful that if and when they make the case to an international court, including the option of going to the i. c, c, this will be used as evidence against what they call an israeli occupational force . impunity usurping their rights. hurricane nicole has been downgraded to a tropical storm after making landfill fill in the us state of florida. strong winds and large swells of fill left a trail of damage along parts of the state, south, east coast, and heavy rain continued causing flood. nicole is expected to move north in the coming days, passing through georgia and the carolina m. b. c. j grey. as more from jensen beach and florida, the 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 these 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 worn 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, a stretch more than 400 mile. and when stretching out from the center really affecting the entire state. it's now the 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 effect millions over the next few days. or here they will begin the coin 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 store. as the scene has been playing out across in countries across the world, demonstrations against the rising cost of living. in argentina,

thousands have been protesting in the capital one us iras. many are unemployed and living below the poverty line and calling on the government to provide jobs and financial aid. they say they can't afford 3 meals a day in a country where inflation is set to top 100 percent this year. thousands have gathered in peruse capsule to show their support for the president. pedro castillo has been charged with corruption and races were met by a wall of white police. the 1st time a public prosecutor has filed charges against a sitting president. a sir says the accusations are false and definite traits. though most major cities, paris suffers from extraordinary traffic congestion, but a new service rolling out for the 2024 lympics. it's designed to beat the jams by flying above them. an electric flying taxi is using drone technology on a large scale to carry passengers thought about the thought is test flight northwest 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 copters of vertical takeoff 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 a velocity across the cross and urban urban landscape or across a city forum to, to get from a to be a lot quicker. paras transport officials plan to have 2 operational follow up to routes 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. pool is certainly very comfortable and spacious. here at the moment, there is room for a passenger and a pilot, but the manufacturer before called to says that in the future this service could be pilot free. several cities in the world are testing, similar aircraft,

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. um so also the affairs will go down over time and to we will definitely see it all over the world for now. fairs are expected to be around a 100 us dollars for a short ride. a price few ordinary people could afford. yes, i would. fate, sir. intronis market, of course you always have some reach people wanting to saving some time, but i think it will be the over to morrow. their taxi deflate. it's for a target like this of customers. it's unlikely that flight taxes will replace regular cabs any time 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.
