for history, the welcome always meant a great deal to me and so many memories of watching the 2 events that have gone from being a child. watching games on my side actually presenting at a woke up. it really is a dream come true. this is going to be really unique. well, cause 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 of the john, that's the trauma, thousands of fans packing out the stadium. gonna be really, really exciting and talk to al, just seeing we also do believe that women to vote guns that was somehow abandoned by the international community. we listen, we have a huge price for the role of gonna tell us what's going on. so money we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the store respect on house, you see a red visit during the rainy season,

and madagascar is suffering from draft as fees mount about a food crisis caused by climate change. it's got to the stage now where wants a trade is sets off when the seller will walk through the side of the road. it's a commodity. each one of these jerry cons costs about $0.50 in the bought by people . that's going to have the wherewithal to go to the river themselves. ah, hello, i'm emily. i gwen this is al jazeera alive from ohio. so coming up, man, man is military grants amnesty to thousands of prisoners, including a former british ambassador and an astronomy and advised it to um, change republicans when the us house of representatives by a narrow margin president joe biden has pledged to work with them and accusations of cash cheering the organizes of 2022 and that reject allegations

their effect football fans. and so we'll come ah, we start with the global climate change crisis. water supply for the world's poor is a major issue. this is un cop 27 negotiations in madagascar, millions of people are in sharing their 5th consecutive year of drought. as new clark reports, crops have failed, and finding water is a daily struggle for many were driving through madagascar grand suit. it's supposed to be the rainy season with the fields of bone dry. this is the footprint of climate change. one year of drought is bad enough, but 5 in a row is near impossible. fierce hot winds turn the soil to dust crops stand no chance. in the village, garad are like everywhere. it's a struggle for survival,

water and how to get it is on everyone's minds. and suddenly it appears from no. well, i mean, a water tanker or root referral destination has stopped from its leaking pipes. that's a rare chance. i every can container and bottle and can be laid on is filled quickly soon or the car will go. we have a needed a demonstration to just put people on it. this is the hot breaking because normally that no those kids should play. those kids, so live that childhood, but right now that are wanting after water look at that kind of landscape. you can feel how hard the situation is in, in this region. and this is literally everywhere in this median. nearby amongst

fields, once filled with maze and sweet potatoes lies the village. water hole has been dry for 2 years. also, la zane doubt in then that's why people are thirsty and they can't do anything about it. oh, there's no cassava, there's no mays loading. like there are no crops at all and life is very, very difficult. our daily life in the village is about rain. but right now there's nothing to sit on. we're really suffering thing. a missile. heading back, we stop, put a roadside market that may commodity for sale water. it's got to the stage now where water trade is had set up in the cellar walk through the side of the road. it's a commodity. each one of these jerry cans costs about $0.50 and they're brought by people. 5 who don't have the wherewithal to go to the river themselves? the thing is even $0.50 was too much for most of the poor grow up fast here, scavenging for survival. this is the human face of our changing climate. developed

countries, stalling on finance for nations like madagascar. we do well to look into those eyes . nicholas al jazeera gerardo madagascar. let's bring in nick, who joins us live from west in madagascar. hello there, nick. certainly heartbreaking st. you've witnessed how extensive is the situation across madagascar. emily, it's a very grim situation and yes, those images are truly heartbreaking. and you have to wonder why the world continues to drag its fee while that kind of thing is going on. and where the you and climate conference happening right now as usual, stultifying progress in trying to make any gains on helping countries like madagascar to get out of the developmental crisis at therein. which is compounded by climate change and give the sniff of

a chance for those girls at the end of that film to have a better future. but let me give you a bit, a context now about madagascar itself because it is actually bigger than you might imagine. it's the 2nd largest island nation on earth. it's got a population of 29000000 people at more associated perhaps with it's rich by a diversity. but of course we're here to talk about the unfolding human tragedy. 1000000 people acutely food insecure millions more. just living from hand to mouth of u. n called the famine of 2021. the 1st famine cause directly by climate change. perhaps we can talk more about that in a 2nd. why is it happening? drought drought drought year after year after year, the dry season is getting longer. the wet season is getting shorter and when it does rain, it comes down to the big deluge and it just dissipates. is there time for it to get into the ground to seep into the ground. and for crops, the grocer crops don't grow,

and people are acutely hungry. and wherever we've been, we've seen tales of hardship and scenes of hardship or just 2 days ago, you were the family in the south. and they were just harvesting texas from the road side, cut it off, put it into a bowl of boiling water, and all sat around kids as well, waiting for it to soften enough for them to eat. and that was their meal for the day. and you can see behind me this is little typical roadside stall, it's got some sweet potatoes and rice for sale. an even that is out of the reach of many people because food prices have just spiraled and also has a middle pile of charco that just there you can see. and that's evidence of what people are doing to try and raise money. they'll go into the forest chop down trees, and then turn events, charcoal, and sell it often just piece by piece. nick, as you've been mentioning climate change is obviously one of those driving fact is that, but to what degree?

well i mentioned the un calling the family 2021 solely driven by climate change of it. not everybody agrees with that. there's a lot of people who think it's just a matter of governance and poverty. for me, i think is a combination of all 3, a try factor if you will, of climate change is reeking devastation around the world and causing havoc here in madagascar. but also the issue of ongoing developmental issues and the challenge of governance, which we see all around us at all times. nick, really moving staff. thank you so much. busy for taking the time speak to us nick clack in at western manor gascon. moving on now in mere mass military has friends $6000.00 prisoners, including for foreigners. it's part of an annual amnesty to market it national dame, former british ambassador vicky bowman and her husband are among those released near map has been in political turmoil since the military stay chicago last year. foreseeing out civilian leader, uncensored shame,

and lead to widespread protests and the arrests of fanzines. let's bring in at tony chain who's following developments from bangkok. hello there, tie. tell us a little bit more about who's been released today. well, the total number, sir. $5770.00 for prisoners being released. it's a large number. it's not uncommon for an amnesty to be announced and the national holder or the usually the largest amnesty of the years in the amir ma new year, which is in the spring or this time. they're also including $712.00 political prisoners. and that is certainly more than have been released since the cute, as you mentioned, the vicki bowman, the former british ambassador, included in that number. also sean, turn l. a. a celebrated academic who was working as an economic advisor to anson sushi at the time of the coo, he'd been sentenced to 3 years for treason and a japanese filmmaker who was arrested recently in the summer filming,

and anti coo demonstration. he'd been sentenced to 10 years for participating in the demonstration. and i think there has been an increasing amount of pressure on the government. a murmur from foreign governments to release those 3. in particular, how do we interpret this prisoner release is this is sign international pressure is having an effect on the military. more rulers was interesting because we've seen that pressure building up, particularly over the last week with the international meetings that have been taking place in this route. and starting with our psion in cambodia 7 days ago. the g 20 in bali. i would just about to start as a perch here in boeing caught a lot of international leaders present. a lot of them looking at the region and the big burning issue in this region, in particular, is myanmar asio and was trying, i think, to push amir mars generals to walk back some of the problems that have occurred

during the qu, they have had very little success every time they tried to pressure the generals to concede to their 5 point plan they've, they've had, they've been, they've been pushed back. i think this may be a small concession, but some people inside murmured miramar, reading this slightly differently. they say this is the military government trying to prepare for elections. they say you're going to happen next year. they say they want to give those elections the appearance of being free. and 3rd, and in order to do that, they need to start releasing political prisoners. but 712 released to day will you have to look at that relative to the number of people who been arrested since the coo. and that's 12000 people. tony, thanks so much for bringing us up to speed. tiny chang live for a day in bangkok its head to the us now where republicans have one at 218 seats in the house of representatives. that gives them just enough to control the chamber with 6 and the seats still being counted. a democrats have 211 seats so

far. president joe biden has congratulated the republicans and promised to work with them. but this when in the mid term elections could give them leverage to block his agenda. mike, hannah has more from washington dc. they will have control of the house now that we know that they've got that 20800 seats giving them the majority. but all indications are, is that it's going to be the slim stuff margins. if the democrats win another 5 or 6, or even 6 seats, that will bring them to $217.00, the march will be one, but anywhere between $1.00 and $8.00 is that very slow march. and the reason for this is that the republican party is not a uniform house. there are many elements of it, particularly the extreme right wing, of which there are a large number who may not go aboard with the the, the agenda of the majority of the republicans in the house. they are then able to

block any such agenda. so even though the numbers are small relative to the number of the regular republican, so to speak, they would still have that power to block what the republican party as a whole wants to do within the house. now kevin mccarthy today was voted in as lead off the republicans in the house, but he still has to get confirmed on january the 3rd when he will need to get at least 218 votes. now the problem with this is that today said he, republicans voted against him. so if that was happening on january, the 3rd, he would not be speaker of the house. so all of these elements are there. all of these problems ahead for the republicans. still ahead on our, his era as 1000 fleets safety piece, talk to sol congos, the latest crisis is set to start on monday, and we'll tell you why haitian refugees facing deportation from the dominican republic.

ah, europe and africa, this is your weather update. let's go next su, right off the bat. we've got this disturbance surround the north sea. so that's check in some rain toward the island of britain, western france and the low countries. and it will be breezy in this area is fall. then there's this some snow to chat about for western russia pushing into bella roofs, and that includes mince with a high of minus 2. now for central europe, it's a similar story here. some shower snow and some spots as well. that includes that snow anyway. and toward the southwest of ukraine, after turkey or we go and i think the worst of the rain will be over the black sea, but it's stumble. you're still gonna catch some showers here on thursday, but also some sun and cloud. it's well with the high of 20 degrees now for the other side of the mediterranean pulses of rain for central portugal,

that western side of spain and breezy. here as well, that weather will drop into northern portions of morocco, northern algeria, northern tunisia as while south of that plenty of sign. it's a much dryer story in toga, where there had been some flooding and we go south of this, some showers along the coastline of south africa. nothing like we've saw in the past where we did have some severe thunderstorms and it's a wet day in antenna on a river with a high of 27 degrees on thursday. that's a snapshot of your weather bye for now. ah, a commitment to continuously conserve its wondered, is vital, a fighting break through solutions to renewable energy for an environmentally responsible future with transformation and collaboration indonesia urges and leave in moving forward as recovery together

recover a stronger ah . oh, a hello. you're watching al jazeera, i'm emily angling. he's a reminder about tough stories this. our water supply for the world's fall has been a major talking point to the cop 27 climate summit. madagascar is facing its 5th consecutive year of draft water supplies have dried up, causing a food crisis. me a month military has granted amnesty to nearly $60000.00 prison and including for foreigners on the countries national day and military cure last few spots.

widespread protests leading to the arrest of fountain. and republicans have 1218 c in the us house of representatives. this gives them just enough to control the chamber with 6 others. they still being counted, the democrats have $211.00. meanwhile, the u. s. justice department will proceed with criminal investigations into donald trump despite he's been to run for president again. in 2024. trump is being investigated for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and keeping classified documents and his florida state. on tuesday he sees intention to say the republican party's nomination, but it appears that don't trump may have to seek the republican nomination for president without a powerful ally, media tycoon, rupert murdoch has reportedly withdrawn his support for the for me, you as president and gabriel alexander, reports from new york,

several murdock murdock owned publications, rather starting to reflect that. i'm outside the headquarters of fox news here in new york city. it's also home to news corporation, the parent company owned by billionaire media mogul. rupert murdoch with donald trump announcing his intention to run for the presidency again in 2024. you might think that murdock own conservative media would once again be backing trumps bid. but this time, unlike 2016, they're not just take a look at new york post. a newspaper also owned by murdock. the front page almost completely ignores trump. a very clear snub at the bottom of the page saying florida man makes an announcement, not even referring to him by name. last week, another post front cover was even more scathing calling. the former president trump

deed dumpty and blaming him for the republican party's disappointing results in the mid term elections. the murdock own wall street journal has been equally critical. this editorial last week, calling trump the republican party's biggest loser. during tuesday night's announcement fox news even cut out of the speech when trump appeared to be rambling . jesse james now, eric trump got more subpoena. now we're going to go back to former president trump's when news warrants travel, it all comes after trump backed candidates had a terrible night in the mid terms, losing to their democratic rivals in many key states. this is all a far cry from the days of trumps. presidency when he could rely on strong support from fox news and the murdoch papers. it seems that for news corp, donald trump is yesterday's man. and that rupert murdoch has moved on the u. s. hands criticized russia at

a un security council meeting up to tuesdays missile strike in poland. killed c pay for. it says moscow is ultimately responsible, even though nato and poland say the michel was most likely 5 is part of the ukrainian, a defense. the issue over shattered the pre shedra meeting. i meant to focus on the humanitarian situation in ukraine. while we still don't know all the facts, we do know one thing, this tragedy would never have happened, but for russia's needless invasion of ukraine and its recent missile assaults, against ukraine's civilian infrastructure. the un charter is clear. ukraine has every right to defend itself against this barrage defend its sovereignty, defend his territorial integrity. face talks to resolve the light, his conflict in democratic republic of congo like you to start on monday is to

recent advances by the m 23 rebel group, widely understood to be backed by neighboring. rwanda will never, wanda, denies it. most of our living in camps on the outskirts have goma in democratic republic of congo. this football stadium is now home for hundreds of people. some of the older people here have run away from london back rebellion 2 or 3, or even 4 times before. so this time, some people here are asking why is getting so much less attention and why they're not getting much help. don. john chloe choir tells people. it's tough, but don't be discouraged. these things will end one day. he's a community leader for this area. he blames the u. s. u k, and france for supporting rwanda and uganda. over the decades their forces of waged was here. let good, good. the war in ukraine just started in february this year that international

community mobilized for ukrainians because they don't want to see them suffering. but we have been suffering for more than 30 years. and the international community is behaving as if it's just animals that are suffering. if we are just caused to be slower at every day, corners armies been struggling to fight them. 23 people here have been wondering why. the government says the u. n is stopping it from buying the arms. it needs to defend itself. from rwanda, there were no un restrictions on heavy weapons like tanks. only a notification requirement for small arms. 9 years ago, un troops from southern africa helped congo to c t. m. 23. this time relations with the peacekeepers, there was an all time low. this calm was escorted by congress. the soldiers after an angry crowd talk to you n vehicles 2 weeks ago. meanwhile, the conflicts getting worse. peace talks between east african leaders haven't helped g to continue next week. for marie is too late anyway.

8 people from 2 generations of our family are gone for malcolm web al jazeera coma, democratic republic of congo, the dominican republic. he is sending undocumented haitian migraines back to their country. it's the latest in a wave of deportation. stats already same tens of thousands and time. gang warfare and political turmoil have fueled in exodus from neighboring haiti in recent months . theresa bo reports from the hub on, on the haitian border. the, it's become an old to common seen haitian refugees detained in the dominican republic. we met them in this military base in the one right at the border. they're being sent back to haiti, even those who say they've built a new lives here. my husband works in

a construction site and i was pregnant home when the police arrived. they wouldn't let me get my babies, clothes, i left all my money at home and i have nothing here. security force, if you are telling me that most of his people were trying to enter the country. some of the women are telling me that they have here that their children were born in probably the middle and the piano with her 8 year old son. she shows as his birth certificate that proves he was born in the dominican republic. i. my son has a birth certificate. he was born here. they cannot send him back to haiti. the u. n . has called on the dominican republic to hold the quotations. haiti is in the midst of a political crisis that has gangs controlling large parts of the country. thousands are fleeing, lack of available health care services in haiti have forced pregnant women to cross the border to deliver their children. but many are not allowed inside. dominican hospitals and some have had their children on the street. human rights activists say, they're alarmed about what they call

a precedent lease. or we know others persecution of haitians in his country was a credit we're here to push. there are massive deportations and the cases are not individual. there's no due process. there's children with papers, others with just bees us. it's just massive and a scandal or even pregnant women being sent back to haiti and the law says that shouldn't be done. the dominican republic is building a wall to protect its borders from smugglers, but also illegal migrants. it's all another job for her. when celia says he's countries poor and cannot allow every one in law live, the only mechanism, the dominican republic has, is to show that it will not tolerate migrant irregularity of the deportations. and this is what we are doing. this has nothing to do with ethnical reasons. or racism, but another problem, if the state stops all the potations, we do not know what could happen here. haiti is facing it's worse crisis in years. human rights crusades, people are being discriminated against across the region. and they're asking the

dominican republic, among other governments for empathy, for those white twain to escape hunger violence and have no place to go. do no way of bringing there is i will, i'll just see that the have on, on the haitian border, he organize as of cut out of 2020 to have rejected the accusations there. afaik paid a football fans at the world cup. it's after videos like this of indian experts cheering on several teams went viral on social media. but to go to rec, linesman, or so. some of the reports published specifically in english and french newspapers regarding the hiring of asian workers to support teams, a totally unfounded. this is firstly another attempt to distort and question cut us ability to hold world cup out ever since cut over on the right to host the world cup. there have been continuous attempts of the past 12 or 13 years to ruin the

image of this tournament. and alex here brian has more from a fan football tournament, indoor ha through i'm here at the go ha ha. and with local fan lee and the 3 day competition that good football fans the opportunity to don, the jersey of the country, they support not just the countries that they were born in or a citizen from right now, the semi finals are underway with germany. and on the other pitch, there is argentina, belgium i think, you know, with the plays on the pitch over the past few days have been from several countries saying quarter ago when brazil, but most of them from india. so it's been like this that have gone at some

criticism, a cutter that it is paying a fans and the lead up to the world cup rejected the allegations as a disappointing thing that just traditions don't look the same as in europe or south america. it doesn't mean that the passion for the game is any little fainter . he go from india, make up a quarter to a population and it is a sport loving nation for more and the aisle joined by a, an indian was born and raised here. and i said, why did a indian guy who li, into football, he said he pockets of the country football definitely is a huge game as a matter of following. and even like the world cup of the celebrated like festival football is almost like a religion. and many, many parts of india which

he will be wanting in the world. radio. what i like the underdog normally wants from doing, but they always come about shocking. you know, i lo, misty am subletting argentina. but mike was up or delivery because that also because of my home, 2nd home. after a nail biting final between belgium and cutter, the team of fans representing the host country came out on top to the gulf nation is 50th and will rankings. so it is only an outside chance the real thing bully their country to victory. these then say they won't give up hope ah, you're watching al jazeera, they.
