to national so me cause and well cause jam analysts watch individual be doing to act. that response yet resists, and we have to be a back when program students spying were viewed as troublemakers. but we're really looking for real solutions on al jazeera. why do people tell stories and take risks to share their experiences? from every corner below, binding us together and inspiring us to expand our realities? why? because they most ah. award winning voices telling groundbreaking stories. witness on l. j 0. mm. do you pay higher taxes for higher owners and energy companies?

the finance minister says the countries and recession, which will deepen next year. ah, clubs of robin. this is out there lock. and dave also coming up more russian strikes, hit cities across ukraine, the latest in a series of attacks on energy infrastructure. republicans with a narrow majority in the us house of representatives. but in finding complicates matters for the top contender for the job of speaker. and the impact of climate change in madagascar, millions of people affected as the country faces consecutive year of trials. ah, welcome to the program, the u. k. silence minister, jeremy hunters declared. his nation is in recession. the chancellor of the extract also say he expects the economy to shrink even further in the next fiscal year.

hunters laid out his plans to tackle, sorry, inflation. he's included raising taxes, the higher earners. more people with an income of $148000.00 a ball will have to pay at least 45 percent tax rate and expect public spending to slow down to help make up the 65 $1000000000.00 needed to both to the state budget but he pledged will help for the elderly and low income household ill to increase the wind full tax. so oil and natural gas companies from 25 to 35 percent. that's expected to re 16 and a half 1000000000 dollars next year. today we set our country a new national ambition. by 2030, we want to reduce energy consumption from buildings in industry by 15 percent. reducing demand by this much means in today's prices. a 28000000 pound savings from our national energy bills are 450 pounds of the average household bill. this must

be a shad mission with families and businesses playing that part. but so the government's play are part. let's bring it under. simmons is following events for us from london . andrew is very detailed presentation of the financial situation of the mass. really that you k is there. what needs to be done to balance the books? very much so $38000000000.00 us dollars worth of cuts and raising something like $28500000000.00 worth of tax rises. now, it's a thing called fiscal drag, which economists uses a term for what's happened with in contacts in contacts has been increased effectively by shifting the show, not shifting the thresholds, but just simply leaving them alone and normally increased with inflation or

somewhere near to inflation. also the highest earn is, are going to be hit the worse because the threshold has been adjusted down with that. and so really you've got every body in britain having to pay more tax. furthermore, with the cost of living, increasing and under an inflation rates of $11.00, which is the highest since well since up 40 years. um, there is a real worry about energy still because there is a system of subsidy, but it's going to be decreased. and it's amount across across the board, apart from targeted amounts to 2 more vulnerable people, which will, they will see considerably increases the will, the conservative party is trying to do with its tactics here is tried to, to actually project caring in some areas and trying to be more responsible with their budgets, but really one has to question that because something will billions of dollars

worth of cuts have been stoned for 2 years effectively until after the next election. so an evidence moves there to try to get away from the negative side of it. but looking at other aspects to that the, this, this whole autumn statement. there are a few things. the surprise in such as electric vehicles are owners, were excluded from having to pay their call, a charges taxes for them. now they will in august, it hinder 2025, april 22, a 5. they will have to pay the amount. furthermore, that there is the health service, which is getting a moderate increase, there is the are education service getting an increase and social care also, but that's all going to be overtaken by inflation. so that the, the central theme here is that this is a depressing time for britain, no doubt,

and just think $55.00 days ago or the prime minister lis trust was talking about tax cuts and the, and i had a gross economy quite the contrary. now, indeed, andrew simmons, their force in london. thanks sunday night, queen says russia had targeting critical facilities across several cities and a new wave of missile strikes that leads to people having killed him overnight strikes has been lottery zalinski posted this video footage, apparently shot from a car of a blaster in the central city of denise pro, though, report explosions in the southern portrait, discern capital he. several cities are reported blackouts as russia stepped up a tank san ukrainian energy facilities. in recent weeks. while the deal is ensured safe passage of millions of tons of grain from ukraine has been extended by a 120 days. the agreement broke by the union to kia allowed grain shipments through

the black sea. now it's been in place since july will expire this week. jonah health is long for us and the capital. keith has been following events. a all quiet for the moment, jonah, but it's been a very nervous day. it has the all clear it was sounded 2 or 3 hours ago now, but for at least a couple of hours tension was high across this country. as yet another barrage of missiles and drones was launched from russian territory from the black sea as well . and from the territory of battle roost, it is now concerned by the forces of ukraine not as big as tuesday, perhaps the 2nd attack this week. remember the 6 attack it is since the middle of october, the forces confirming that 16 cruise missiles were fired and 5 unmanned unmanned aerial vehicles. those, the radian made sure he drones,

all those defense systems which were so effective on tuesday have been effective again, taking out for missiles and 5 drones hearing the keys region. and for the 6 of those missiles over the black sea knocked out of the sky by ariel defense is but a number did get through denise pro, that city in the south center of the country, taking the brunt of those attacks. you've seen some of that video there, government saying they were targeting again energy infrastructure, not just electricity supply and distribution points, but gas storage and production facilities as well. but it's clear that civilian targets have been hit to 14 civilians that injured in denise pro 3 civilians injured in odessa and emergency blackouts in place in cities across this country, trying to stabilize the national grid. the national energy provide a calling, the situation critical president lensky saying this afternoon the 10000000 people were without power. and that is grim news. indeed,

as the 1st snows of winter have fallen here on thursday, the temperature plummeting below 0 degrees. and jo, what reaction to the extension of the great deal, perhaps a sigh of relief. perhaps the good news in that the deal had been due to expire on friday. it wasn't played until the very last minute where the russia would agree to renew the deal in talks broken by turkey, bringing on, bringing in the un as well as russia and ukraine. but this afternoon, 1st the ukrainians, confirming it, and then the u. n. and turkey doing so as well. and tony good terrorist, the un secretary general talking about a triumph of discrete this diplomacy. he said in finding much multi lateral solutions, president of turkey confirming that the deal will be extended by a $120.00 days from saturday on its current terms. no change to those terms.

hailing the deal, he said, talking about the 11000000 tons upgrade that had been transported in nearly 500 shipments in the last 4 months of the 1st phase of the deal. he said it is a deal that is important and beneficial for the world's food insecurity. supply chain holla, forcing key. thank you. now, republicans have 120800 seats in the us house of representatives. this gives them just enough to control the chamber with 6 other seats still being counted. the democrats have $211.00 seats so far. president joe biden has congratulated the republicans a promise to work with them. but this when in the mid term elections could give them leverage to block his agenda, whitehouse, corresponding company how kit has more this is going to be a divided congress moving forward. what we have is the house of representatives, controlled by republicans and the senate, controlled by again a razor thin margin by the democrats. and so what this means is very little is

going to get done because in order to pass laws in the united states need the approval of both chambers, as well as the president's signature. so you see the problem here is the very 2 very competing agendas in each of the bodies. and so what is this going to look like moving forward? well, it means that there's very little, it's going to be accomplished in terms of new legislation and the president himself, joe biden, is likely to spend the remainder of his 2 years in office defending what he accomplished in the last 2 years. and other words, protecting programs like investing and climate change as well as lauren prescription drug costs. those are things that the republicans in the house of representatives may try to scale back and argue that they're too expensive and their programs that need to be cut says, well, we're also likely to see a shift in terms of both politically motivated investigations. what we saw in the past 2 years, the target was former president, donald trump, when democrats were in control of the house of representatives. now the target is

likely to be president joe biden. this is all keying up for the 2020 for presidential election. and the attempt to try and throw a little mud on the opponent. water supplies for the world's poor is a major issue. not this shows you and cop 27 negotiations. millions of people, madagascar facing the 5th consecutive year of drought, was nick clock reports cops to fail. 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. fierce hot winds turn the soil to dust crops, stand no chance in the village guerara like everywhere. it's a struggle for survival, water and how to get it is on everyone's minds. and suddenly it appears from

nowhere. i mean, a water tanker on route for far off destination has stopped even from its leaking pipes. there's a rare chance i every can container and bottle and can be laid on is filled quickly soon on the car will go. the m a needed a demonstration to some desperate people. this is it. this is very hot breaking because normally that no those cancel plane, those kids so live that childhood. but right now they're 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 nearly everywhere in this region. nearby amongst fields, once filled with maze and sweet potatoes lies a village waterhole. it's been dry for 2 years. i was on la jane dawkins and that's

why people are thirsty and i can't do anything about it. there's no cassava, there's no maze 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, sang angel heading back. we store put a roadside market, may commodity for sale water. it's got to the stage now where will to trade is set up in a sally water. the side of the road is a commodity. each one of these jerry cans costs about $0.50 and they're bought by people who. 5 don't have the wherewithal to go to the river themselves. the thing is even $0.50 is too much for most of the pool grow up fast here, scavenging for survival. this is the human face about changing climate. develop countries, stalling on finance foundations like madagascar. we do well to look into those eyes

. nicholas al jazeera, evarado, madagascar still had here on al jazeera conservation versus development, the challenges facing un cultural agency. unesco as it marks is 50th anniversary and cut off his back. it continued allegations of mistreating migrant workers for the world cup their stories after the break. ah as heavy rain, right is sassy station i, which is to be expected. there isn't so cool points, particular central and southern philippines and a line that you can take trust to foss as a vietnam that curved down into malays imparted born year and i think across was pontiac as well and beyond. that's heavy rain. it is seasonally wet. now,

but look at this line from singapore, up to southern thailand, right? of the western be in mont and sumatra. this is fairly heavy rain. now driving it all slowly south was in concentrate use the ne monsoon, which is going to be the dominant feature for the winter months for east asia. it means cold air comes out, the interior got snow showing up now. well i petoskey really cold, a high temperature of minus 10 on saturday. this disrupt is those held a long way? no, it's not going to come down to north korea's was the last belt. this is dry now with temperatures where they should be. there is some rain south of the yangtze, which is brought rylan's temperature down from 30 to 20, thereabouts, which is again where it should be at long last. and the ne monsoon the bay of angles wanting a low pressure area, which i think will bring heavy rain more to sri lanka than til tamela nodded. for the rest of india or bangladesh pakistan his quiet and cold and sunny. but very poor air calls the new delhi and the hall with

a oh, a look about what you want me to hook up stories. the u. k. finance minister,

jeremy hunters officially declared his nation is in recession. he expects the economy to shrink even further in the next fiscal year. hunters laid out his plans to tackle soaring inflation. us mid term elections are produced, a winner in the house of representatives. republicans now have 218 feet. this gives them just enough time to control the chamber with thick feet. still being counted, ukraine says russia is talking fitful facility that several cities present. lindsey posted the video footage, apparently shot record camera autoglass in the central city of to meet right now dutch court is reading us a verdict against full men accused were involved in the downing of flight. mh 17 in 2014. the passenger jet was heading from amsterdam to carla poor, was shot down over eastern ukraine, killing all 298 people on board, the netherlands, malaysia, belgium and ukraine. i've been working together on the investigation,

prosecutors say one ukrainian and 3 russian defendants are responsible for the vast enjoys is now from shipple airport in the netherlands. verdict is being read out step and we have developments absolutely. we just got a 3rd x and the judge has decided that 3 of the suspects, a 232 russians and one ukraine has been found guilty for downing the i'm a 17 plane on the way to call and on for over the eastern eastern ukrainian conflict and one of the suspects also a former russian officer, alrick lack of has found to be found not guilty. and this is the only suspect who was represented by lawyers in court. the 3 autos have not been here, also have not been attending the court, but the 3 orders have denied the existence of this trial altogether. so

a lot of now has been found not guilty. the 3 that have been found guilty were all former russian officers or leaders of the for russian separatist movement in isa ukraine. the judge has said he had no doubt that all the evidence presented by the investigation team, but also by the prosecutors all these hours, hundreds of hours of audio tapes, phone taps, video materials all conclusive to show that the plane was shut down by a book surface to air and aircraft missiles from this field in the separatist area. this was something that the fans has raised a lot of doubt about. but the judge went through all the aspects and all the pieces of argument that defense had brought forward and said that they had no case that it was all rejected. so this is now the furtive in the case that has been lasted for 2

and a half years. and now h t is after this. so very tragic accident because also the job say he didn't see that was intentional. to shoot down this plane. he thought that the, the people involved were trying to hit a military claim, but then accidentally hit this malaysian airlines a plane, but the fact that they use such a powerful weapon. they knew that this would be a consequence. and that's why they also, the prosecutor says that they could be charged for murder. we still waiting for the sentencing the prosecutors off for a life sentence. we haven't heard what the judge has decided on that because we'll come back to you when that happens. that massive voice ship a lot, but thank you so view and celebrating the 50th anniversary of its world heritage sites program. in this case, convention was designed to help protect cultural properties and its national convention is under way in greece, from where john surplus join me now from delphi,

a lot to discuss and a lot to protect that's right, unesco at 50 has made 3 important announcements. they want to make world heritage more inclusive and representative. they want to protect it from climate change and over tourism. those are the 2 key challenges in threats to day. and they also want to make it more accessible. they want to create a virtual platform where any one in the world can visit any of the 1154 unesco world heritage sites. virtually standing next to me now is lazar ellen, ellen do a so mo, he is the director of the world heritage center of unesco. and i'm going to ask you mr. summer, about the representative aspect of these decisions today. why was it important? why was it announced now in italy viewing the unesco? well heritage list to which now has the 1154 site. it was not to that the africa has $98.00 sites on death in death lift and which are the present not even 90

percent of da da da tucked her or of the list and saw a in that the delegates not to bet it is important to her to address this imbalance and then decided that they would like to focus a one part of the work in the future in trying to address this in balance, particularly for africa. why is africa so under represented? and why it has the focus been on 12 relatively small countries that people don't generally visit. because this up to 12 countries that have not yet been given an opportunity to present a candidate share in order to see one of the sites include and what had a teacher list. as all the fuckers would be put on the 12 countries to build their capacity to where assist them in preparing the nomination dosier. and we would like to do it by 2025. and so that now the little heavy teacher list all be at least

with all african countries in the future. and tell me again, why is africa so under represented? but africa is under represented a because 1st it important to we're a build the capacity. so that a lot there are experts who can identified to prop besides, that can be recognized under what heavy th live in. it has not yet been happened, that is still an effort in an assistance to put, to support the governments to where to do it, to train all dia, or the african expert. so that big can do this work, but also to provide them with financial support and assistance. thank you very much . that was mr. lazar allen, do are some of the director of the world heritage center at unesco. of course here in greece, the challenges are going to be more focused on climate change rather than lack of expertise. but that is another story back to you. don't stop, listen, duffy, thank you. ah,

my worker's rights have been under scrutiny and cut off since that one the right to host the world cup. the international labor organization says the working and living conditions for hundreds of thousands have improved in the past decade. but guitar officials say the issue has been misused against the a some of injure food reports. how can we accept such a narrative of hate speech and racism directed at us? this is cut this minister for labor showing the european parliament what he calls slanderous allegations. and a malicious campaign against his country the football world cup has put other under the microscope, especially on migrant workers who provide almost all of but his labor, rapid infrastructure growth for the entire country. with investment over $200000000000.00. the quite millions of workers. those states have relied on this transient workforce for years and often economic opportunity came at the cost of

many human rights. so the world cup was a catalyst for change. it can say, certainly as accelerated, the labor reforms, the ilo works all over the world, and rarely do we see change happening at this pace. max union had the international labor offices of the chapter, emphasizing the need to do more. he said others made strides to amend laws and the co follow or sponsorship system and provide compensation for victims. the sponsorship program barred employees from changing jobs or employers. but he also admits criticism over migrant issues such as booker debts has not always been objective. this relates to the total number of south asian nationals who have died and katara over 10 year period. it doesn't make any distinction between whether these a work related death or non work related to. in fact, it even includes people who are not even economically active. so it's really important to understand a little bit more the context in caught are the workforce is incredibly diverse. south asians are working in every sector of the economy across all income levels and they make up a huge proportion of the overall population. 50 to 60 percent of the population.

the figure of 6500 is certainly misleading. but that misleading number keeps being quoted on the media. someone talks about 6500 victims. another says 10000 and a 3rd one talks about 15000 as if there was a competition. there shouldn't be any politicizing or using misinformation. so we ask that you refer to official sources like io workers have told us anonymously about some companies not paying them on time and problems, changing employers, officials acknowledge gaps and pointed response times getting better. but the also on the media to make the distinction between companies that big the law and the reforms being implemented by other in addition to workers related issues. thousands of single men have been forced from the accommodations. although this was a means polity issue, rather than a labor one, for many workers trying to make ends meet, it's difficult to make that distinction. labor union say in order for more gulf states to make necessary changes for migrant workers,

the world must acknowledge the reform while pointing out the gaps. they're concerned that a vicious campaign against cutter could quote, decapitate the good work done over the years. some of which i with others era dog. now the organizers of the capital 2022 tournament of rejected accusations that the fake paid football fans out the world cup. it's after videos like this of indian expense, cherry and several teams went viral, social media replacement. 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 off the ability to hold world cup, how everything is cut around the right to host of old couple, there have been continuous attempts of the past 12 or 13 years to ruin the image of this tournament. and some of the top stars to feature at the show as well. cup include messy, rinaldo, a name of some equally big names. so we staying at home and for the swedish holiday

destination of holland county. that might be good news, though you know law battle for exposure with the planets both informed striker as pull rece explains erling holland of norway leads the list of major absentees at catholic 2022. after that countries didn't qualify for the world cup. i wish i play the world cup, of course, but just reality now i don't do. but hopefully in the future one day i'll be able to to play the among them mohammed sala of egypt, swedish veterans latin abraham, of ich, and the entire italian team. that one year 2020 but with 18 goals already from manchester city. this season. holland well for some funds be the biggest missing name, but he won't be missed here. this is how and a swedish coastal province trying to keep its tourism campaign on track. after being hijacked by algorithms directing people to the blonde strike holland, instead of the golden sons of holland,

more and more people are looking for new places to go with the google search or the search engines and the use image search. so if you're looking for holland, all you see it's a great football player and that's of course a problem. we want to show red pictures of our place. hello. hello, i'm the sweetest county can take some comfort that it's fairly famous for football in its own right. the biggest club house started produced form. i also saw frederick young bird and helen county provides the most place per capita to the swedish top league of any in sweden. but those stops might not be point duty enough to take helen out of holland's shadow online. it's not only spelling but pronunciation they have to contend with. elling holland is written differently in norwegian to an english and is actually pronounced holland. so commentators in the rest of the world calling holland holland is just starting to the confusion for holland holland or hold on to being out of the spotlight during the world. cup is unlike.
