ongoing uncertainty of what must have happened in the last moments of the aircraft . and to what extent to relatives and loved ones were aware of their fate. let's talk to steadfast since she's joining us from skip all airport in the netherlands to tell us more about how this verdict was reached. but the judge sat, he had no doubt there was no doubt from the court. that's what the investigators and also the prosecutors have found years of her research and interest against that . a book miss heil was fired from a separatist area in eastern ukraine and hit the m 817 plane killing everyone on board. the de france had argued during the trial that there were different scenarios possible, but the judges decided there was only one scenario and that's what happened the for a suspect on trial. one of them is now been and found not guilty because his role in the transport of this book miss out could not be proven, but the 3 out us,

according to the charge, were happily involved. they were responsible for the logistics of transporting this book from russia to eastern ukraine. they said, the judge says we have no evidence of who actually fired the book, but the fact that they brought their a lethal weapon or they accepted the consequences that a plane, a civilian played even could be hit. so the response here by the relative to were hundreds of relatives attending the verdict. some of them came from australia group of 60 because most of the victims were a dutch, but also others came from 16 countries around the world. well, there is a great relief and i am now joined by one of the relatives. so robert fin haney, he lost 3 morales is one of with one of them was his broad are his sister in law and their child. so you have been listening to this quite emotional verdict, especially the judge was pointing out how no respect was shown by the suspect. so

how did you experience this burden? i'm very glad to judge. she said made his food, and i'm so glad that the after 8 years after 8 long years, finally just decided that there was a fake information in full and as to what public attorney stated is rise. and i'm very glad to do that. 3 of the 4 suspects are heavily punished for it, but the suspects are not here. they have not attended to trial this very little chance they will ever served as life phantoms. how does that make you feel? it doesn't change my feelings because i knew from this thought that the suspects in hard, there's very little chance that the search space her claim off to bars. i bit off. it's very, very, very important. that juice has decided what has to the has to be done. that takes

to right. and it's very important for me that a judge has pointed those subjects as really now conflict at people. the church also pointed out that it's great suffering and guess has your cost to, to relatives because the plane was shot down. the body scattered over a field has been, they've been lying there for a long time. it must have been a really, really hard time for u dash it's it's, it's very, really hard time. and this membranes come back. busy and we also had. busy our relatives, our beloved in parts were all big. we had several funerals about it, but it's, it's very sad that fairly hard to we feel it's or do do it to yeah. to refer to a heart attack to wire to can good other other hands. i really appreciate it as well. the judges. i took a local people including in the show for ng what they had to had at seen

ukrainians on the ground ukrainians on the crowd. busy because we asked the judges, police pay attention to it. we wrote a letter to the maitre there, and i'm very glad that the judges in there for addict, remembers the local population. who you now feel justice has to serve and can you have some kind of closure. yes, justice have served fairly well, but it's not. busy closing time because an appeal is possible and appeal, i think it will be good. so is self closing. beside that there are 2 are the all the other made sure, a major points in. busy european. busy busy basis for to be in court and october. so it's not close at all now and so there will still be more court cases, as you say,

one of them isn't strasburg. thank you so much for joining us here. life on the al jazeera, welcome. so yeah, we have to still hear from the lawyers off the suspects or if they will appeal. but what we know is, of course said the one suspect he was represented by a lawyer has now found, been found not guilty. so the 3 of us that have been convicted have not been represented by lawyers, so we have to wait and see how that's gonna develop and if there will be an appeal . okay, thank you so much stuff. awesome reporting from schiphol airport. thank you to the u. k, now we're finance minister. jeremy hunter officially declared his nation is in a recession. he expects the economy to shrink even further in the next fiscal year, hunters laid out his plans for tackling raising inflation. so he's lowered the tax threshold for high earners. those with an income of $148000.00 or more. we'll have to pay 45 percent on taxes. 100 expect public spending to slow down in order to

stretch the $65000000000.00 needed for the budget, but pledged increased help for pensioners and low income households. he also increase the windfall tax on oil and natural gas companies from 25 to 35 percent, which is expected to raise 16 and a half 1000000000 dollars next year alone. i have no objection to winful taxes. they are genuinely about winful profits caused by unexpected increases in energy movie on the rooms of the get each site to the talk is when food taxes can i just say that any touch tack should be temporary, not deter investment and recognize the cyclical nature of energy businesses that's bringing under simmons is joining us from london. so what's the british public

making of this budget, andrew? well, the when full taxes, something that the british public would like to see in the main a much bigger feature. bringing in a lot more money than what's being described there by the finance minister. but really this autumn statement, emergency budget, call it what you will, is delivering really shock therapy to the whole economy. and a real burden of for british people in terms of what comes into their pay packet. because of this extra taxation which is being termed on a fiscal drug. let's get an explanation from matt, from our guest here. and for an economist at this price, who's also a former governor, a former advisor, and to the government?

should i say that? what is this fiscal drag and how does it affect us? so i say that this has been going on for some time. it is collecting taxes in a way that people perhaps don't notice, because you didn't raise the allowances from which you start paying that tax. so if you have high inflation or your wages are going up, then the government, if it doesn't move that alone says up with inflation, then collects more from you. so for example, if you are at the point where you don't pay any tax at all, and your within the allowances that are out there and this alarm says and not change. so for the moment, in order to stop paying the minimum rate of tax, you have to earn something like $12570.00 pounds. if you start getting more because way just go up. the minimum wage for example, has been announced, is going to be going up. then you're caught into that i'm paying of tax in a bracket suddenly, or if you were paying higher a to tax and your wages go up. but those thresholds don't change again. you suddenly stop paying the high rate attached to the millions who are going to be caught by that the government is going to raise a lot of money that way. so that's

a stealth tax. what about elsewhere? what's, where's the biggest hit for the british regions? but there is a certain amount he mentioned info back. so that's important. it's going to raise more because it's been extended now also to all the electricity generator. it's not just oil and gas producers are going to be paying even more than was originally the idea. but also is going to be strangely, those generators who rely on renewable energy. so wind, for example, i'm so law. where until now they were didn't actually over the well because they were being able to, they were able to charge a gas prices. whereas of course, the marginal cost of producing something on renewable energy 0 so so there were there as well. so that tax is being extended. in addition, there are some other changes at a higher rate of income tax and where people stop paying the higher rate at lower salaries. so there is a combination of all these things, which actually is going to be pretty good for the gum in terms of revenue production. this way is fair to say that there's always

a balancing act between satisfying the markets and the future of the economy. and really getting prepared for the next election, the politics on an election to 2 years away with the conservative party in pieces when it comes to popularity. so are we seeing here some a trickery with billions of dollars being put off in cuts for 2 years? there is a bit of that. so what they've done on the one hand is they but increased a benefits for people in line with inflation. so people would feel slightly better off as a result because there was a concern that that wouldn't happen, pensions going up, the line with inflation on the other hand, the talking about the cuts in, so that's a tax increase a to compensate for it is what was going on with a sales taxes because i have to pay so much more in keeping people at the lower end of the pay scale. still able to buy energy and food, or to pay for engine by food has been a real problem. but what they're also doing is cutting spending by the cutting that spending later in the 5 year period. the looking at. so what is going on of course,

is that there will be an inflated and an actual election in 2 years time. so is hugh buck cloud if you like, the tax, the young, some of the tax increases, but also in particular the spending cuts to later years. then anything could happen afterwards. you could have another government which is can decide to do something different. but also what you do, which is actually quite clever in a way, is that let's say, sir, different government aids the labor government than you spent quite a lot early on. you're going to get those are spending cuts back later. it leaves them with a serious problem in terms of how to get the economy going again. and that's the real concern. we're talking now about g d p falling by 1.4 percent next year and possibly then recovering in 2024. but you will know is really what the economy is going to do with that. there were energy prices were due to this huge uncertainty at that vicky price. thank you very much for explaining all of that. and, well,

there you have it as some of the, a tactics, political tactics of finance. but as far as the british people are concerned, this is a big hit. only $55.00 days after a ring told that there will be a tax cuts and more gross. a difficult position in the u. k right now, but i like it. thank you so much. andrew simmons reporting from london, ukraine to us. russia is targeting critical facilities across several cities in a new wave of missile strikes. at least 2 people have been killed and overnight strikes the president followed them are zalinski posted this video footage apparently shot from a car camera of a blas than the central city of denise pro. and there are reports of explosions in the southern port of desa under capital keys. several cities have reported blackouts as russia stepped up its attacks on ukrainian energy facilities in recent weeks. and the deal that the ensure that ensure safe passage of millions of tons of grain from ukraine has been extended by

a 120 days. the agreement brokered by the un enter kia, allowed grain shipments through the black sea. it's been in place since july and was set to expire this week. jonah ho has more from keith. it wasn't clear until the very last minute where the russia would agree to renew the daily talks broken by turkey are bringing on, bringing in the un as well as russia and ukraine. but this afternoon, 1st the ukrainians, confirming it, and then the un and turkey doing so as well until the good terrorist, the un secretary general talking about a triumph of discrete this diplomacy. he said in finding much multilateral solutions, president, one 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 of grades that have 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 and security supply. the polish president under duty has visited the site of tuesday's missile strike at a town near the ukrainian border. tensions ran high after the hit kill 2 people in a village, indications or could have been a ukrainian air defense mis out. both poland and nato say the strike was not intentional. i said big has more from the polish border town. were in the polish village of the just kilometers away from the ukrainian border. this is a site where 2 people are killed in the middle landed on a farm. now the president under do the, has visited, he's offered his condolences and support to the local community. both and show them that the investigation is ongoing and will be thorough. but this has come a major shock for people here in this community. they've been used to the war taking place on the other side of the border. they've been used to seeing an

increase of people crossing that board and the traffic, but they didn't think that something like this would happen so soon upon you to know the obviously when it comes to the 2 villages, the 2 places where the 2 men who are killed the situation is quite difficult. they were very much like within the community and it touched people there very much. what was more important, is it awareness that this rockets could have fallen on any other direction either side? it can have killed any of us. my book so far, the ukrainian arguments that it wasn't, one of them is also in the defense system that struck poland, but a russian one presence lensky says he is spoken to, he's a command and those discussions have taken place in private. but ukraine wants to be a part of the investigation and hand over evidence, but what the ukrainian, the thing, the country to what we're hearing from the polish here, the united states and nato. you said that it's unlikely that it was a russian massage, but more likely that it was one from the ukrainian defense. but we are waiting to see the results of the investigation. but even if it was a russian missile, this seems to be

a consensus that it was not an intentional attack by russia against poland, with natal member hunter morehead on the news hour, including republicans clinched the u. s. house of representatives. but in fighting is complicating matters for the top contender for the speakers. job conservation versus development. the challenges facing the un cultural agency, unesco is it marks its 50th anniversary car hits back at continued allegations of mistreating migrant workers to the world cup. we'll have that plenty more from falls showpiece event a little later. ah, but 1st, republicans have won 218 seats in the us house of representatives. so 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 king drug

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, but speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how get so the republicans, hobby house, and presumably they'll be looking to rayna and biden's agenda. kimberly and there's no question that is on the agenda of republicans, but it gets a little bit challenging given there, razor thin margin that allowed them to control the house of representatives. and you have to remember to that when it comes to legislating both bodies, the house of representatives, the lower chamber and the upper chamber. the u. s. senate have to agree before there can be any signature by the president to pass something into law. there's going to be a bit of difficulty for the next 2 years, given the fact that the lord chamber, the house of representatives, controlled by republicans, the senate controlled by democrat. so you see the problem already. what we do expect is there's going to be a lot of gridlock. there's going to be a lot of fighting, and there's going to be a lot of attempt to try and do

a lot of what president biden accomplished in his 1st term. whether it be funding for climate change or even lowering prescription drug costs, those are things that republicans will say is necessary to cut in order to curb government spending. so it's going to be a challenge for the president moving forward with his legislative agenda. right. and he said that he's happy to work with the republican lead house, and he also congratulated them as well. but in reality, does he have any wiggle room at all? there is some wiggle room given the fact that there are some republicans who given the fraction or the, the division between the rules of establishment republicans and sort of those that support donald trump kind of further right on the political spectrum. within the republican party, there is a relationship that still exists between joe biden. from when he was a senator that allows him to work with some of that old guard republican wing if

you will. and so there may be the opportunity for the president to try and get something done. but 1st the republicans have to decide on their speaker. there was an early test on tuesday where there was a decision to go with kevin mccarthy. he is a representative from the state of california, but we're already hearing that come january when the formal floor vote for that position is to replace nancy pelosi takes place that he doesn't have the vote given the fact that it was pretty lukewarm performance by republicans in the mid term elections, so you can see the problem here, a lot of in fighting a lot that could change between now and january when it comes to voting on the speaker of the house for the remainder of the president's term. all right, thank you so much. kimberly hall can reporting from the white house in iran strikes or continuing for the 3rd consecutive day on the 3rd anniversary of anti government protest that followed fuel price increases on wednesday. at least 7 people were killed, including a 10 year old child in the southern city of is

a that's after gunman open fire at a bazaar officials or calling it a terrorist attack. but protest or say, security forces open fire on them as they were gathering, to demonstrate sources. jabbar is joining us from to iran to give us the latest news. an update that you may have for us is certainly there, you know, the demonstrations have intensified here since tuesday, when calls were made for people to i go on strike to commemorate what is known as bloody november. that took place in 2019, where hundreds were killed, according to human rights, whoops, at the hands of security forces here. since at last night in the past 24 hours, it's been one of the deadliest in the country. at least 15 people have been killed in various incidents across the country. and we just heard from officials, that's another 2 security forces have been killed in the city of mashhad. that is their own 2nd biggest city in the country at this is certainly at now become the

very serious situation in the country. and it's one of the most serious the country has witnessed over the past 24 hours since at bit protest began about 9 weeks ago after the death of 22 year old massa media. what the officials are saying as that those businesses that have been closed. i've been forced to close by various elements that have been present inside the country. and many of the private businesses that have spoken to say they've chosen to close for 3 days. now. what will happen in the next few days remains to be seen. what is clear is that there is a tremendous amount of tension across the country. and the security officials have said that they have arrested a number of people that have been charged with inciting unrest and a linking them to various terrorist groups that are fueling the protests that are ongoing for the main parts. we've seen also a series of incidents that have been you in the capital on tuesday evening. we saw what is emerging on social media, us showing people inside metal stations,

women being attacked by at plain clothes officers. they claimed and gunshots. be heard inside metals stations, as well as tear gas being fired into subway stations as well. now i'm what you've also hearing right now behind me. they are horns from the vehicles that stop at red lights is also becoming much more regular as a form of passive protests for people to show their discontent as the government at what will come in the next few days after the 3 days strike. the general strike comes soon and we'll have to wait and see. no, doris, i thank you so much. dorothy jabari reporting from to her on so workers' rights have been under scrutiny and catherine since at one the right to host the football world cup. the international labor organization says the working on living conditions for hundreds of thousands have improved in the past decades.

but category officials say the issue has been misused against them or some bon jovi reports. how can we accept such a narrative of hate speech and racism directed 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 us under the microscope, especially on migrant workers who provide almost all of his labor, rapid infrastructure growth for the entire country, with investment over $200000000000.00. the quite millions of workers, doug states have relied on this transient workforce for years. and often economic opportunity came at the cost of many human rights. so the woke up with 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 are sponsorship system and provide compensation for victims. the sponsorship program bard employees from changing jobs or employees. but he also admits criticism over migrant issues such as broker debts has not always been objective. this relates to the total number of south asian nationals who have died and guitar 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 quarter. the work force 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 overpopulation 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 point at response times getting better. but the also on the media to make the distinction between companies that break the law and the reforms being implemented by other in addition to gertrude related issues, thousands of single men have been forced from the accommodations. although this was a means pallets 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 by pointing up the gaps. the concern that a vicious campaign against cutter could quote, decapitate the good work done over the years. some of and without their dog or young people from every competing nation at the world cup has gathered in cats are as part of the generation, amazing youth festival. victoria gate and b was there. when castle won the right to

ah, the hello gun. the top story is on the al jazeera, our a cord in amsterdam has sent in 3 men to life in prison for the downing of malaysia airlines flight m. a 17. in 2014. the jet was flying from amsterdam to call a lump for when i was shot down over eastern ukraine. ukraine says russia is targeting critical facilities across several cities. president valencia's landscape posted this video footage apparently shot from a car camera of a block in the central city of denise pro. the british finance minister jeremy hunt says his government will expand windfall tax on the profits for oil and gas companies for the next 5 years. it's part of the government's emergency budget aimed at stabilizing the economy. the dominican republic government has been

building a wall along parts of its border with haiti. the 1st stage includes constructing a 54 kilometer section of the wall, plus 19 surveillance towers and 10 access areas. al jazeera terrorism reports from data born in the dominican republic. i will divide that can be an island by new it's designed to separate the dominican republic from haiti, dominique, and general. the fire lonia says the will will play a crucial role in protecting his country against contraband and illegal immigration over there. you can see where this was stage and that involved this part of the country of the perimeter walls that we are building hades in turmoil. and thousands are desperate to escape gang related violence and hunger. the dominican republic is trying to prevent refugees from entering the country and has the 40 over 50000 haitians in the past 5 months. general frank with a to says the dominican government is simply not equipped to offer

a refuge to so many needy people love him. i don't going to suffer us, we share a border with one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere. haiti is in the middle of the political, economic, and social crisis. some said 60 percent controlled by non state actors or gangs. imagine a country that is controlled by gangs. we allow haitians to cross and get supplies . i cannot do much more. and that's why for many, this wall is necessary. this is what the fence is going to look like. it's going to be about 4 meters tall and in some areas where there's like multiplan nation, it's going to have metal bars and in rural areas is going to look much more like this type because the risks of people trying to cross over are smaller. the wall is being built mostly by haitian workers here in the country, legally, who represent some of the dominican republic cheap labor force. the one is expected to cover 164 kilometers of the almost $400.00 that divide both countries. but him

hating people saying it won't stop them from crossing over and over again for life, where you're living on an island and they're trying to stop migrants from crossing . but you can't really stop this phenomenon. it's going to happen even if they deport people. this will continue to happen. there has to be a change here in haiti. this is what's needed promoting stability in haiti if a stated priority for countries in the region. but so far, most attempts have failed. human rights prove, say the wall is a misguided use of resources that was further militarize the area and only push people to take greater risks to escape and will bring in terrorism. oh sure, sure. joining us from the dominican republic. so the countries also doing more to protect its borders. tell us what you are seeing where you are. i'm right here robin border between the dominican republic and hate. in fact, most countries are divided by this river that you can see why behind me. you can
