patrick damage for every district dollar population that is at least 70 percent western 80 percent of mil to parkins residence from an immigrant background. the danish government can't make people leave areas like beyond the park and purely on the basis of ethnicity. what it can do is force the housing to be sold off to private investors who then erased the rents. the idea is that mainly wished and people assumed people wealthy will then be able to move back in residence or suing the government. and anti segregation policy said to them, social condition and crime rate would be valid. but we object to moving people commit homes based on ethnicity, minorities, find themselves stuck. they move out of one area to lower the number of non westerners but can't move in to another area for the same reason. ah. ready ration launches another round of me sound strikes,

12:02 pm
port of odessa and the central city of denay pro. the capital case is facing black house. and the prime minister says a missile factory engine, a pro has been hit. russia has stepped up a tax on ukrainian energy facilities in recent weeks. let's get the latest now with join a house whose life for us in the capital. hello. they join a certainly sounds like a dynamic situation. what more can you tell us? yeah, well i can confirm that this country is once again, i'm the sustained missile attack by russia for the 2nd time in a week. you recall those mass missiles strikes on tuesday, hitting 12 cities across the country was something similar is going on. now unconfirmed reports suggesting that up to 50 long range cruise missiles were launched for launch platforms in russia. in about the last hour and a half air raid sirens have gone off, including here and keep the app that we use to monitor these things suggests that
12:03 pm
air a warnings have been in place across the country. the city administration, the city military administration, that is here to keep suggesting that to miss styles have been shut down by defenses as well as we understand for drones and reports had come in the drones had perhaps been launched from the territory of battle ropes. i caught confirmed that independently, separate to what is happening here in keep reports of explosions in odessa in the south and also denise pro, in the center of the country at the prime minister dentistry. me how saying that gas production facilities are being targeted in the south of the country. this time reports of injuries, a few 3 so far in odessa, up to 8 injuries in denise pro, including a 15 year old girl. and reports of explosions is whether need beneath the region north west of here. and indeed in the last hour and
12:04 pm
a half or so we heard what we thought sounded like the passage. ready missile overhead, heading in that sort of direction. official confirmation coming indeed, as well from andre, your mac, and he's the head of the presidential administration. who said this on twitter, the enemy thinks he will weaken our defenses with energy strikes. this is a naive tactic. ukraine has already withstood extremely difficult blows, which have not had the desired effect. and indeed these attacks are se, ongoing. the latest confirmation of that comes on the telegram social media messaging from the forces of ukraine using their account saying more missiles have been fired from the black sea remain in shelters, and you know, that is ukrainians of bracing for winter. we can say from the same behind you, it certainly looks freezing, cold, and many don't have power just how difficult the conditions
12:05 pm
when emergency blackouts are now it's now across the country. subsidies will be without power entirely. there certainly blackouts happening here in keys. i can't tell you whether it's city wide or not, but as i look across the snow scape dispersed snows of winter fell over night. i can't see even a faint twinkle of electric light upon the traffic lights. so it is clear that more and more damage is being done. so the national grid in this country by these strikes tuesday night, of course. so 7000000 people without power. by wednesday, the situation had stabilized, but remember they were sustained the tax in october as well went up to 40 percent of the national power output was knocked out that would have been diminished potentially even further. now. and this clearly concerted effort by russia to diminish power, generation, and distribution in this country ahead of the winter. as i say, the 1st snows have fallen, the temperature dropping to minus 4 overnight. it is certainly a point of major concern with months and months of winter that lie. in date,
12:06 pm
it looks praise and call. thanks for the update. jenna. how bye for a fair in case what is implied for the world's poor is a major issue at this. he is un caught $27.00 at negotiations. millions of people in madagascar are facing their 5th consecutive year of drought. as an inc, clark reports crops have failed and finding water is a daily struggle for many with driving through madagascar gran 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. fears hot winds turn the soil to dust crops stand no chance. in the village garad her like everywhere, it's a struggle for survival, water and how to get it is on everyone's minds. then suddenly it appears from
12:07 pm
nowhere to mean a water tanker on route for far off destination has stopped it from its leaking pipes. there's a rare chance i every can container and bottle and can be laid on is filled out quickly soon of the car will go. we have a needed a demonstration to some people. this is it. this is very hot breaking because normally that not those kids show playing those kids. so live that childhood. but right now that are wanting us, would you look at that kind of landscape? you can feel, ha, ha, the situation is here in, in this, in this region. and this is really everywhere in this median nearby amongst fields . once filled with maze and sweet potatoes lies a village waterhole has been dry for 2 years. also lenika jane dobbins,
12:08 pm
and that's why people are thirsty and they can't do anything about it. there's no cassava, there's no maze like there are no crops, souls 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 himself. heading back, we stop put a roadside market, the main commodity for sale water. it's got to the stage now where water trade is, have set up in the cellar water. the side of the road is a commodity. each one of these jerry cans costs about $0.50 and they're brought by people who perhaps don't have the wherewithal to go to the river themselves. the thing is even $0.50 was too much for most of the pool 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
12:09 pm
al jazeera, evarado, madagascar, and nick joined me a little earlier from miranda in madagascar. i asked him about the response to this unfolding crisis. those images are truly heartbreaking, and you have to one the while the world continues to drag its feet while that kind of thing is going on and with the you and climate conference happening right now. that as usual, stultifying progress in trying to make any gains on helping countries like madagascar to get out of the developmental crisis that 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 of context now about madagascar itself because it is actually bigger than you might imagine. it's a 2nd largest island nation on earth. it's got a population of 29000000 people at more associated perhaps with its rich bio
12:10 pm
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 un called the famine of 2021. the 1st famine cause directly by climate change, 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, 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. now, to me and my, where the military is frayne. nearly 6000 prisoners, including for foreigners,
12:11 pm
it's part of an annual amnesty to markets in national day form of british ambassador ve bowman and her husband are among those released. he and matt has been in political 10 while since the military stage to colon steer, forcing out civilian leader, uncensored chain and led to wind and protests and arrests. if thousands, tony chang is following developments for us from bangkok cheney. what were you hearing about whether or not these prisoners had been released yet? or you heard her in the last hour that about 3 p. m. local time. outside the young guns. insane prison. and there the prisoner started to be released there. part of her a release around the country of 5774 prisoners. but it of particular interest is in st. prison and young on because that is were political and the most important political prisons are kept. and in that number 712 political prisons are being
12:12 pm
really stetson, much higher number than we've seen in previous amnesty, particularly since the q are we don't know exactly about the 3 foreigners who have been detained and jailed since the coo vicky berman who you mentioned before sean turner and economic advisor to uncensored she in a japanese journalist who was arrested in the summer for filming, and anti q demonstration and sentence to 10 years in prison. but before the main release a v i p bus was seen leaving, or the prison, we think that was probably containing those 3 prisoners. they're probably going towards their, their embassies. we understand from the authorities that they'll be deported at the earliest opportunity. but of those political prisoners, it also, interestingly a still a sense of defiance or one of them me. i was a very prominent leader in the 1988 a revolution who was arrested on february the 1st, immediately after the cou,
12:13 pm
a clearly target of the military. he came out and he said, directly to al jazeera, whatever the situation, i will stand by the people of myanmar, i'll stand with them for the sake of the country. so i think it's clear that many of these people remain armed, bowed. why the military have let them out at this stage is unclear, but there has been an awful lot of pressure on them, particularly after the international summit in asia of the past week. a lot of criticism coming, or antonia good terrors, the general secretary of united nations saying that as he and some of the world had let down myanmar and it must do more, it's clear a thinker that the world is pushing hard. so far, myanmar has to her that it's leading generals has resisted the temptation to buckle under pressure. this may be the 1st sign they're trying or perhaps to secede, to some of the pressure coming from the international community. indeed, we appreciate the update as always. tanny chang life ross there in bangkok. thank

12:18 pm
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 to 17, the march and will be one. but anywhere between $1.00 and $8.00 is a very slim margin. 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
12:19 pm
a whole wants to do within the house. now kevin mccarthy today was voted in as leader of 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. may mother justice department will proceed with criminal investigations into donald trump despite his bit to run for president again in 2024. trump is being investigated for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and keeping classified documents that he's florida safe. on tuesday, he now sees intention to think the republican party nomination at least 7 people were killed in iran, that by unknown government at a bazaar in the south western city of is it on the wednesday me 6 others were

12:25 pm
they're being sent back to haiti, even those who say they've built a new lives here at the minute. my husband works in a construction site and i was pregnant home when the police arrived. they wouldn't let me get my baby's clothes. i left all my money at home and i have nothing here through the course. if you're telling a good most of, if people were detained trying to enter the country, they get some of this women are telling me that they have holes here and that their children were born american republican, 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 dominic and
12:26 pm
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 those persecution of haitians in his country was a credit at work yet because there are massive deportations and the cases are not individual. there is no due process. there's children with papers, others with just business. 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 esl another job for her. when celia says his country's poor and cannot allow every one in law and 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 under the problem, if the state stops all the potations, we do not know what could happen here. haiti is facing its 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 waiting. there is, i will. i'll just see that the have on, on the haitian border he organizes of cars are 2020 who have rejected accusations. they're of fake high football fans at the world cup. it comes after videos like this of indian x pads cheering on several teams went viral on social media. thought was to go to be parkman. 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,
12:28 pm
cut our 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 meanwhile, the count down to kickoff continues. the national teams are getting ready for their 1st games, but fans have also been flexing some football muscle. lexia brian watch to match in the capitol a i'm here at the go ha ha and the circles band, lee, and the 3 day competition that gives 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 god, cut her germany and on the other pitch. there is agile tina belgian i think you know,
12:29 pm
with the players on the pitch over the past few days have been from several countries saying portugal and brazil, but most of them from india. so it's been like this that have gone at some criticism of cutter that it is paying like fans and the lead up to the world cup out of 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, again is anyway, so fainter with people from india make up a quarter of their population. and it is a sport loving nation for more on the aisle joined by a and indian was born and raised here. and why do they indian guy who will make that lee into football?
12:30 pm
he said he pockets of the country football definitely is a huge game, has a massive following. and even like the world cup of celebrated like rascals, football is almost like a religion and many, many parts of india which will be wanting in the world radio. what i like the underdog normally want from doing, but they always come about shocking. you know, i lo, misty am forwarding argentina, but my 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 know the golf nation is 50th and world ranking. so it is only an outside chance the real team lead their country to victory. these then say they won't give up.
