you're watching the news, our live from a headquarters in ohio area obligation coming up in the next 60 minutes. i will not seek re election to democratic leadership in the next congress. nancy pelosi says she won't see cricket reelection as democratic leader in the house of representatives, as republicans repaired to take control of the chamber. in january, a dutch court convicts 2 russians on the ukrainian man of murder for their role in the downing a flight made 17 that killed all 289 people on board and 2014 more russian strikes had cities across ukraine. the latest in a series of attacks on energy infrastructure, the u. k. hikes taxes for higher earners and energy companies. the finance minister says the country is in recession, which will deepen next year and making a point to england with migrant workers to recognize their efforts and making the

world's top happened. ah. hello, the veteran us democrat politician. house speaker nancy pelosi has announced she won't be seeking re election to the top job. pelosi made the announcement during an address to congress a short while ago. she served as the top house democrat for 2 decades. hello. she says she'll remain a member of congress and serve out 1st her when i 1st came to the floor at 6 years old, never would. i have thought that some day i would go from home maker to house speaker . in fact, i never never intended to run for public office. mommy and daddy taught us through their example that public services and noble calling. so pelosi decision to quit comes as

republicans prepared to take control of the chamber having won 218 seats in the us house of representatives in the midterm elections. it gives them a slim majority with 6 other seats still being counted, the democrats have $211.00 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. we have to correspondent across the story in washington, dc in a moment or a white house correspondent, kimberly how can we'll join us. but 1st let's bring and she returns. see who's up the us congress to talk us through the announcement that was made by nancy pelosi and the significant stuff that she had been. and what happened back really was all very pollution if there isn't already a term to coin a term like that because she kept the wrong guessing, right till the end. we were told that, you know, not that she went home last night with 2 versions of as a speech leading to our will. she, when she,

when she had said she would stand out. but given the democrats to far better than they were expected to in the mid terms, she had that political capital, which meant that if he had wanted to stay on, she would probably have managed to get to get boats and she needed to do so. but in the end she did to say ok, i am southern got and she use the argument that many others in the party been using that it's time for 8 generational shift chines in her eighties, deputies and this is 83. and so, like, i mean, a lot of questions about joe biden himself, about, you know, his age in the least here in congress. the leadership is potentially moving to a younger age group. and in fact, if you are watching to half an hour ago, the immediate question was alright. does that mean deputy may want to stand in her place? he's 83 years old just in the last few minutes. he's recent statement saying he will step down to be all as difficult for him to stand up to police. he gave him passion, cool for a generational shift in the leadership in congress. so we expect an election with

a keen jeffries to be the front runner. he's 51 years old. we expected him perhaps to, to, to win the day in the, in the party elections. we should make very clearly that this is, this is generational. ideological in this is still very much that centrist corporate wing of the democratic party, the job of the house leader or the speaker, if they have a, when a majority is to keep the caucus in line, but also to get as much money as possible from corporate donors, they can run and races around the country. and so that isn't a job that lends itself to progressives necessarily. so this is your logical shift . but, but the democrats do look like they will have that generational shift in the house leadership, at least. right. and as republicans prepared to take control of the house after the midterm elections, of course, the reports of inflating are happening. tell us what that's about or you can imagine that kevin mccarthy, of the current minority leader of the republicans, is looking at this lovely show of unity amongst the democrats in the house with

a bit of envy because the republican caucus right now is incomplete term all with the establishment when your party blaming the trump wing for alienating swing voters and independence in the mid term elections, which meant i didn't get the, the red wave that they were hoping for in the mid term elections. the trump wing saying that this is what we are stablish installed, so we're making a democrat seem so good for being to bypass us out over the last 2 years. now, we really got to go with me by did ministration in the next 2 years. and in fact, they've already been announcements that basically legislation will be deadlocked in the main now in congress, because we have a republican house, you have a democratic senate, but whether republicans have power in the house now as they can launch lots of investigations, committee investigations have subpoena power, much as the democrats did with the trump administration, they've already announced that they will be going to be looking into the business dealings of hunter bike and joe biden's, son and whether joe biden, there was any corruption there between father and son. this will be what,

what the republicans do to trying to, i mean, they're awesome, right? legitimate investigative questions. but also trying to make life as difficult as possible for the bite administration in the next 2 years and trying to trying to gum things up as much as possible. but the leadership is word that any too much coming up will just make the republican seem a scary again to swing by to get in 2024. okay, thank you so much for that update from capitol hill. well, let's find out how the bite administration is actually responding to all of this and bringing. kimberly, how can she's our white house correspondent. so we did hear from biden, kimberly, when he said that he's happy to work with the republican lead house. and he also did congratulate them. in reality though, does he have any wiggle room at all? he certainly does have wiggle room given the fact that, well, their house is going to be led by rage with razor thin margin of republicans. many of them are more establishment republicans that joe biden worked with some of them on capitol hill as a senator. so, so, so establish relationships that may serve him well given the fact that there are

some divisions within the republican party, particularly when it comes between those establishment republicans. and then further right on the political spectrum, those that favor a former president trump, but we can tell you that with regard to the historic tenure of nancy pelosi as how speaker the u. s. president, is acknowledging that in fact, we understand. he spoke with her early this morning here, washington time to talk about her historic tenure and has just released a statement where he outlined what he sees as some of her significant achievements . not only the fact that she became the 1st female speaker in the house of representatives, but also some of the signature pieces of legislation which she worked on with joe by then as both vice president and as president. not only ushering in the affordable care act that allowed for 30 plus 1000000 americans to have health coverage, but also some of the more recent achievements that the 2 worked on together,

including the inflation reduction act of rescue american rescue plan that allowed for relief. following coven 19 for millions of americans. and the last president really highlighting that and, and taking a, a bit of an opportunity as well to take a stab at some of those who have criticized her, saying that at millions of americans lives will be better even in republican districts. where too often she was vilified. so the last president, acknowledging that even as nancy pelosi made historic achievements as the 1st female speaker in the house of representatives, she also received a lot of blow back as well given some of the controversial positions that she took, the bottom line, the u. s. president saying in his statement, however, is that the united states owes a debt of gratitude for her great patriotism at her service. clearly the 2 have had a long friendship when they will continue even after she steps down from holding that gavel in the house of representative. thank you so much or white house correspondent, kimberly. how can

a court in amsterdam has sent in 3 men to life imprisonment for the downing of malaysia airlines flight m. a 17 and 2014. that jet was flying from amsterdam to kuala lumpur when it was shocked down over eastern ukraine, where pro russian separatists were fighting government forces. all 298 people on board were killed, the convicted or to russian, former intelligence officer, xander ukrainian separate this leader. all our fugitives believe to be in russia the past and sent this report from schiphol airport in the netherlands. it was an emotional verdict for the hundreds of relatives who had traveled to the madeline to attend the 1st. some of them traveled as far as from australia, while most of the victims on board of may, 17, were dutch. there were 16 national knowledge is on board, including a malaysian airlines crew. so they were quite relieved to hear that 3 of the suspects were now convicted and been sentenced to life in prison, to

a former russian officers, but also a pro separatist pro russian separate his commander from east new crane. there was one person acquitted because the judge said there was no evidence to show that he was also involved in the transport of this book. miss style. that was part of the play. it just said there was no doubt that that's what happened. on july 17 2014 book. my tie was fired from a fro rush and separate the area and hit the plane crash there in the field. he also said that the suffering of the relative was really immense. he said, because the body was captured in a field and nobody could reach them for quite a long time. and that also added to the sentence. it is a groundbreaking ruling also in the sense that the charge made it very clear that the role of russia was significant. and this is the 1st time that a charge, a court has ruled that russia was financing and arming the pro russian separatists

in eastern ukraine. so this get some kind of closure to the relatives, although of course it doesn't take away the pain and sorrow that they have been feeling for all those years. but they say now at least we have here heard from the church. what happened on that day, we have finally some kind of clarity. the polish president, hundreds who does visited the site of tuesdays miss all bloss, that a town near the ukrainian border. tensions ran high after the weapon kill 2 people in a village. indications or it could have been a ukrainian air defense massage. both poland, nato say the strike was not intentional. i said because more from the polish border town were in the polish village of super this just kilometers away from the ukranian border. this is a site where 2 people were killed in the middle, landed on a farm. now the president under do the, has visited, he's offered, he's 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 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's more important is 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 ukraine is i do much that it wasn't one of the mythos and the defense system that struck poland. but a russian one presence and then he says he has spoken to his 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 is contrary 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, that seems to be a consensus that it was not an intentional attack by russia against poland. with natal member ukraine says russia has targeted critical facilities across several cities and a new wave of miss all strikes. at least 2 people were killed overnight, but there was a glimmer of hope is the deal to ensure the shipment of ukrainian grain was extended. jonah hall has more from keith. this was the moment a relatively come morning in the city of denise broke. the turned into a rude reminder of the horrors of war. the government set energy infrastructure, including gas storage facilities, were once again struck, but as ever civilians in residential districts in denise pro and odessa became collateral damage liberal with you. and i get that money as well as out of this

jewelry. thank. go to wal saved us. we were left with no windows, no glass left intact. there is a huge mess in the apartment. what very bad luck. there were overnight attacks to this, the aftermath of missile strikes in the south central city of parisha were local official said, there were several dead it is the 2nd time the city has been hit. there is nothing else left to do. but how surviving here living our lives were thursdays attack saw the efficient use of ukrainian air defense systems. this video shows the interception of at least one incoming missile in the key region. in all ukraine's military command says 10 missiles and 5 drones were shot down. preventing untold additional destruction in what was the 2nd russian aerial bombardment in a week. the 6 since october,

with emergency blackouts in place across the country and the national grid describing the situation as critical. president zelinski said 10000000 ukrainians without power on thursday afternoon. that's grim news. indeed, as the 1st snows of winter have fallen, the temperature plummeting below 0 degrees. there was a glimmer of good news. the extension for a fir, the full months of a deal allowing the export of ukrainian grain via its black seaports. i was it, we moved to know that the all ukraine, russia and the, when it come to an agreement for the role of, of the lexi, could i any initiatives allowing for the free export you couldn't, in the full nation deal broken by took here was hailed by president to one as a benefit to the world's food supply and security jona whole al jazeera keith

plenty. morehead on the news hour, including conservation versus development. the challenges facing the u. s. cultural agency. unesco, is it more of 50th anniversary? will tell you why the dominican republic is building a wall along the border with have teeth and what it could mean for people living on the other side. cuts are hits back at continued allegations of mistreating migrant workers for the world and fund seymour from football show piece event a little later. ah, but for to the u. k were the finance minister, jeremy hunter officially declared his nation is in recession and that it will deepen. next year he was laying out his budget plans to tackle raising inflation for re challenge reports. for weeks, jeremy hunt has been playing the plane, speaking medic, for the case economic malays like root canal surgery. the treatment he was he wont

be present, but he insists it's necessary to make and the moment has come. para, in the faith of unprecedented global headwinds families, pensioners businesses, teachers, nurses, and many others are worried about the future. so today we deliver a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis and rebuild our economy. okay, jeremy, $166000000000.00 plan increases taxes and government spending. but though the tax rises will come, now, most spending cuts are deferred till 2025 after the next election to help soften the blows state. pensions and benefits will rise in line with inflation and the national living wage will rise to it's the new chancellor's attempt to clear the wreckage left by his freed assessed as many budgets of just 6 weeks ago. quasi quad

thing, send a pound, tumbling and interest rate storing with millions of dollars worth of unfunded tax cuts. it costs by squatting. i'm previous prime minister live trust that job. jeremy hunt is trying to be a safe, a pair of hands. he's trying to make the case that the conservative party is going to generate fiscal credibility for the country, but not damage public services too badly with another round of sterility. so he's kept in cash terms, spending the same over the next 2 years and pushed back the pain to 2025 for the next election. so a bit of a trap for the, for the labor party. the reality of the situation is that britons will have less money in their pockets as the country enters recession. even in the wealthy english town of saffron walden, the need for food banks is soaring. cost of living crisis and the impending recession again, or effect people from all types of society. and what we find is that when you live

somewhere affluent, if you are struggling, 8 that a poverty hair, it's hidden and it's invisible. so if he says demand for food is outstripping, the amount they receive that she see in the light down the tunnel. no, definitely, no, no, no light at all. the chancellor says global financial precious or a storm the britain must faced into that, whether the origins are foreign or domestic. the u. k is entering a new age of austerity. rory challenge out as era. the new boss of the failed crypto currency exchange f t x. as the company misused customer funds last week, f t s collapse and fall for bankruptcy insolvency, extra john ray. the 3rd, who is in charge of the liquidation of enron says it's the worst case of corporate failure. he's seen and 40 years. he says f t x company funds were used to buy homes for employees and advisors in the bahamas. f t x's collapse,

trigger and major losses for crypto currencies. that's week to now i am a slum who's a chief market analyst at arbitrate. he's joining us in london. welcome to al jazeera. so do you agree with the assessment of the new boss of f t x, saying that this is the worst case of corporate failure, that he's seen at least in 40 years. thanks me a message. but it is one of the failure because it industry years and now the competence is absolutely shattered. the main and the most important, the adoption is going to be more delayed 5, it's least another year. so how much of this do you think is f t x as own problems or, or, or is it an industry wide problem? i think that is a really good question. i'm so glad you asked me that. and then the problem is

purely. ready f t x very good by not the problem. so the dusty already created by that because industrial is only trying to read current. ready trying to crack for every single b that until the industry is today. but the management and the everything that you actually quick mention that she did find the foundry and then make sure that the viewers and the message understand that that is the one case. one second. ready situation which was critical. barnett individual who uses us all the wrong practices been in that industry entirely. but surely this is going to have an impact on the industry because how do investors begin to trust a crypto currency is not only small investors,

but also the institutional investors, like headphones, for example. what does this do to to the trust? yeah let's, let's look on the positive side. i mean, she already hate over here. so what i'm reading is a lot of atx and a half more secure in this place, more regulated i coming and the. ready oversight of gushing if you are on a institution solid far and should fund you wouldn't back wish. ringback because you wanted to displace completely washed out and clean but from these bad actors. so even though i have said that, yes, it has an industry mid to late. it says, but the optimistic side is the perhaps now the fcc this year t c and other central regulators look or why that actually more they had guidance

a little bit too late. last, however, is it, isn't it too late, or what are you basing that on you, any of the options market options market was created on the general options market for the, for actual, for the equities. a took over a decade for a regulator just to come and eat the share. the we are still very, very much, you know, early adoption days when he comes to the digital currency. new experiments are experienced and of course we had done in these particular space on a we, which is why start to take for the next time. and i just, and just one more question for you because of some people had said that this could prompt questions of, of contagion. do you think that there's going to be a ripple effect? i see that even there s t x are it's being

is every right, it is such a large entity it was. but when i look at the process should be yes. initially perhaps this ashley trigger and the gc that actually look at you $5000.00. ptc price, but wow, i'm see consolidation. i'm arrested bullet t me just so 500-606-0000. okay, thank you so much. now you must land for speaking to us from london. thank you. ah. so workers' rights have been under scrutiny and casara 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 cutlery officials say

the issue has been misused against them. a, some have been job aid 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 others under the microscope, especially on migrant workers who provide almost all of but as labor rapid infrastructure growth for the entire country. with investment over $200000000000.00 . the quite millions of bookers. 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 are sponsorship system and provide compensation for victims. the sponsorship program, bard 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 in 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 on the work that's been done by migrants has been acknowledged by england football team. they've held a training session with them and katara,

the english football association has pushed for the world cup to leave a positive legacy for those who help build the tournament. joanna roscoe has more from what could i just outside of doha putting down that drills for drills. these are some of the men who have helped build the stadiums for the cattle world cup. and now they're getting to eat some of the stars he will shine in them. about being in a hallway, the stadium. i'm a electrical technician, only sold no 3, unhealthy elsie know about syria and i like big national petition underwriters. so she'll favorite flyer home as a moment. yeah. had it not been for the beautiful game. these 2 groups of men with their different languages and backgrounds would probably never have met. but football has brought together were just south of castles, capital, doha, in a city called al white cra. this is where england were based themselves through this world cup. and it's also a place where many migrant workers live. now this is one of several community

engagement workshops taking place. and england have chosen to support this particular community. england's f a has been vocal on the subject of work, his rights, they and others like the netherlands and australia, have called for compensation for workers who have died. been injured or faced unpaid wages while building stadiums now the venues. they also want a permanent migrant workers center and only what politicians and women, we never will be politicians in terms of how we look at things more. i think in terms of what the school to, to know the last few years. i'm how must have helped people out there that comes with the territory of what the boys of dawn. what i will say is that we're here to do as much as we can. we can do everything. but what we can do is to is try and help people more to be caught. tournament organizes stress improvements have been made in the living conditions of hundreds of thousands of migrant workers. a minimum wage has been established and the so called co follow system which meant work has had to get approval from their employers to switch jobs or leave. the country has been abolished the international labor organization and casso agrees,

but also says more efforts needed. so that all workers can benefit it will take time to fully implement these changes and challenges do remain. these include dealing with retaliation against workers who wish to change jobs. more also need to be done to reduce reach payment violations and in short, timely access to justice. domestic workers must also benefit fully from the labor reforms. this includes respect for working times and the right to at least one day off per week. these workers have built the stadiums in which the english team can perceive its world cup dreams. and as a final thank you. the england players give them tickets to see their hard work become reality. joanna gosh, raska al jazeera and what cra, so young people from around from all the nations rather taking part in the world cup have gathered in katara as part of the generation amazing youth festival. the

program works with under privileged communities around the globe, atoria gate and be reports young people from the $32.00 countries participating in the world cup, gathered in oxygen park in dough hall for the generation amazing festival. it's the culmination of a year long exchange program in the run up to the world cup. i come here you representation of my whole country. so ideally be tight, great opportunity for me to get to know more people. i know the values that are going to be instilled in me after these holy vans. so once i go back to right on the now and i went to spray, oh my knowledge that i get here, fifo president jenny infant tino who's a supporter of generation amazing was at the opening ceremony. the program already has a decade of work to its name, organizes say its legacy will continue beyond the cattle world cup. our aim,

10 years ago was to empower disadvantage lives. of 1000000 people. that was the target 1000000 and lives and or through our football for development programs and methodology that we've created. we've been able to provide safe spaces and over 30 countries. we've built football pitches over for 44, bob pitches and, and these 30 countries. and then, you know, we've resort target of reaching 1000000 beneficiaries in august this year. this is our summer football's biggest names were on hand to spread the message and share their expertise, including former england captain david beckham. i want to say to all of you said i is your day to dream. participants will spend a week in doha attending workshops, meeting football players, and watching world cup matches. it's hope this experience will empower young people with the skills needed to promote sustainable development in their communities. the start of the world copies just days away now and the tournament itself last less than among the live, but organize it here. hope its benefits will last for years to come. victoria gate

shredded not so now, but without about 20 damascus. 70 an anchor. and there are showers, lying around, but size of this line here it has never cool down. i think that's about to change. temperature so far above the average in doha, but with this colder wind, they're about to drop. it's not full of thunderstorms is a small possibility of that happening. i think on saturday it is going to be full of dust and it does represent a drop in temperature to ball us where it should be high twenty's by day high teens by night. that carries on during sunday. but beyond the wind, nothing much has changed is just good to feel a little different. but the rains are going size again. in africa, everything is moving south with the sun steady, heavy around moved around, like victoria and d. r. congo. although it's been wet recently in south africa, not dry, but the some welcomed brain in madagascar. ah

we've seen one of the deadliest since these protest started about 9 weeks ago. at least 17 people have been killed in various points throughout the country, including security forces. and the officials have said that they have already arrested a number of people in various parts where those incidents took place. i think what is significant this we've seen certainly more widespread demonstrations taking place over the past 48 hours. what is unclear, the moment is what will come next since a 3rd day of strike is well underway. now, what will happen in the next 48 hours or so, whether or not these demonstrations will continue, and how will the security forces respond to them, remains to be seen. what is clear is there certainly a general feeling of discontent. among the demonstrators, we've seen a number of incidents and not only in various parts of the country, but in the capital itself. we saw a number of people being attacked in metro stations. officials have said that they have arrested certain number of people that were involved in those incident,

labeling them as terrorists and having links with a number of known terrorist organizations. what will come in the coming days will be certainly significant in this demonstrations that we've seen ongoing now for the past 2 and a half months. all right, thank you so much. darcy jabari reporting from to ron or bring you some breaking news out of gaza and to fire in a residential building has killed 21 people. let's speak to you in the say it, she's joining us on the line from gaza. you know, what are you hearing about this fire that broke out in the shalley a refugee camp? yes, so according to local sources, in the same neighborhood of where this residential building, where the fire erupted into tours adoption closing. the said that the company was actually having a birthday party and there was a gas leak in the home where the, the people where, where the family was, and a lot of visitors guess where in best parties, well, when the,

when the candles were, were listened. that's when the flyer quickly erected and a big explosion happened in the home. it's residential building. so more the fire actually not just that apartment, but it grew to outside the window is and outside the balcony of that home. going to the next apartment as well, until now 21 people were taken to have become completely brained and dec very number doesn't have been injured. we still don't know the number, the exact number of injuries, the ministry of health. the numbers have arrived to indonesia and hospital in the north and got the strip. and until now, like recently, just a while ago, the civil defense was still trying to control the fire. they were still trying to

put off or could down the fire. they have succeeded in doing that, but until now they have not been able to know the exact number of the people who have been lost or killed by this incident rate. so we do expect perhaps on the death toll t arise then. so far we're hearing as you're saying 20 people and that includes women and children, even though yes, women and children and the number of people are still not identified where they are, whether they're in the injuries or among those who have been killed. unfortunately, even the budget to can to, to the hospital, they were burned. and that's why there is, there is now a little bit of a problem. and i did to find exactly who these bodies are. force tell us once again leaking for the, for the final results by the live stream. how, okay,

and for anyone, just joining us on on al jazeera, just remind us once again what you're learning about the cause of this fire in, in jamalia again, they said according to local shortage, that it's because of a gas leak that codes the, the, the fire when the kendo where the lights it for a birthday party. so the main didn't according to local sources. but the main reason is that it's a gas leak. a give us a sense of that particular area in garza and garza, as we know, is quite densely populated. just talk us through that particular area. you know. now 1st of all were saying value refugee count. so when we're talking about refugee counseling, we also, i mean that we're talking about very densely populated areas. the building, there's very, very much attached to one another. and that's why in,

that's why you usually when there is a fire like this, when there is an air strike when there is anything, then the casualty is, or the destruction is not only in that area or that part. it goes or spreads quickly to the parts that are around that area, and that's why there is always a masters destruction when there is any cause. when there is an incident going on in any account like that. also the civil defense here did not. how de, if strong and lots of cap ability to actually control it, took them a long while to be able to put off the fire to be able to reach to, to the building, to, to put down the fire, to save the people from, from around that building event and from the building. we know that it's a 3 story building. and the fire was in the 3rd story. and the

3rd floor, but the fire was going down and deeply until the 1st floor. and that's why it was very difficult. excuse me, it was very difficult for the civil defense to reach with their cap the abilities and the cook off the fire quickly. all right, you know, we'll let you go for now. you'll keep us across the story. thank you so much. the so you are correspondent from gaza. now the u. n. a. celebrating the 50th anniversary if it's world heritage sites program. unesco convention was designed to help protect cultural properties and international conferences under wayne greece, with an announcement of a particular future focus on smaller, less wealthy african countries. they'll be encouraged to apply for protection and funding for their unique and precious sights. let's bring another hoss king. she's joining us from austin, texas. she's the executive director of the global heritage fund. welcome to al

jazeera, so you must welcome the upcoming announcements off a future focus on smaller, less wealthy african countries. what more should the anesco be doing in this regard to their and thank you for having me as a, as a reference for, for the viewers almost half of the 1154 unesco a world heritage sites are in europe. and fewer than $100.00 are in africa. so you're looking at 15 african sites that make up nearly 30 percent of the endangered world heritage list. for one, the application process for unesco inscription needs to be streamlined to the african countries are more readily able to participate. and also, you know, those experts say that there is an issue with the award it is to euro centric. but in africa there's also the lack of structures and political will and capacity to

preserve cultural natural heritage site and to fill out these african applications for inscription for world heritage site. right. so do you think that this announcement will help in this regards? yes, absolutely. i think unesco has a, has a lot of can put lot of pressure on, on local governments that also can drive funding. and i think there needs to be kind of like an intersection between developments and cultural heritage protection because right now, you know, most politicians they, they are afraid to push for the unesco inscription because you know, it doesn't enable them to to create jobs and look into development opportunities and so on and so forth. but if you integrate the 2 and they are

cohesive and there is a mechanism where you can one protect and to develop that you do it in a regenerative manner. it could be very positive for african countries. let's talk about climate change for a moment because climate change is of course, a huge issue that and from what you've seen, rather what impact has climate change had on the sites? well, north africa has the largest number of sites because they are largely on the coast area to this year. and libya and egypt as well. i think those needs to focus on restoring, planting, manage, and ecological infrastructure such as salt, marches, the grass, meadows and mangrove. and you know these, these act as carbon sinks, so it sucks up the carbon dioxide side from the air. but also there are good for the, you know, for the ground floor as well. right. i think there is, there is,

there is a need to invest more in improving local and indigenous governments and in and around the site because they have knowledge that is, you know, yet to be tapped. and there are certainly other challenges and dangerous in terms of sustainable tourism, for example, as well as conflict in some areas which put these sites at risk. exactly, absolutely. and you know, in terms of sustainable tourism, i think we should not think about sustaining the status quo. we should think about regeneration. how could we use existing infrastructure to revitalize cultural heritage and create opportunities for local communities and you know, we were doing quite a bit of that. notably in morocco where we have 5 year initiatives in the n t plus region to restore ancient granary, right?

we're crumbling because doesn't cation in climate change. we'll have to leave it there. we thank you so much for speaking to us from austin, texas hosking. thank you. the chinese president, she jumping her soldier pounds prime minister from the ca shita that both countries should resist conflicts and confrontation. the leaders met on the sidelines for regional economic summit in bangkok, it's the highest level meeting between china and japan in nearly 3 years time. have been strained because of maritime disputes on differences over taiwan. tony chang has more from bangkok it is one of the highlights of the apex summit starting here in the tiny capital, bangkok, the sit down, meeting between the leaders of china and japan. it is a contentious relationship. they haven't met for 3 years. they'll be many territorial issues. they'll want to discuss taiwan. and china is known to be very suspicious of the close security relationship between japan and the united states. but these are the 2nd and 3rd largest economies in the world. they have extensive

economic ties with each other, many in the wider asia pacific region. be hoping that those ties can be strengthened and expanded and the fact that they're sitting down together as a good start to this a pick summit. ah. so were just 3 days before the fif, a world begins and cats are and one of the superstars has arrived. lena massey touched on endow hot in the early hours of thursday with the rest of the argentine squad. the 2 time champions are one of the favorites for the tournament on the back of a 35 game winning streak dating back to july 2019 argentina's opening matches against saudi arabia on tuesday, mexico and poland are also in that group. on the same day, france get their title defense underway. they're trying to become the 1st teen to retain the world cops in brazil. in 1962. the squad includes 10 players from their

winning campaign in 2018, including captain ogo, lorris, and kiana by pe, france or in the same group as australia, denmark, antennas. yeah. they open their tournament against the aussies. ah, no, missing that. it's actually a state of mine. you get from the moment you land here, players need to get used to the training ground, but we don't have much time. but this is clearly a sporting adventure for us, as well as a human adventure for the whole squad. they have the huge possibility of getting good results on just a few days. players will be on the pitch, and fans will make their way to the stadium concerts on cultural attractions. after security, the movement of people remains the biggest challenge. natasha rename reports. ha, since the moment cut our was awarded the world cup in 2010. people have been asking, how will a country of less than 3000000 people host a global event,

accommodating more than a 1000000 fans? the country will soon show the world how. nobody believes that we will be able to do it. nobody expected that we will achieve all the infrastructure, developments that to with it. nobody expected that we will be ready with all the stadiums that was required him a small country and in a very confined place in that small country. and we did everything once their planes touchdown organizers, hope vans, will experience an efficient entry process. doha will have to airports operating to handle the influx of arrivals. from an international airport, fans can use the doe hot, metro. on some lines, the trains are capable of transporting 1000 people. every 165 seconds. between one 3rd and half of the fans heading to matches are expected to hop on a free ride. also free shuttle buses to carry crowds during peak demand. one of the thank to balance the said the speak as the to give the spectator and multiply

multiple options to utilize a, either of them at a metro the buses, the torment of the tournament buses. so they have multiple options to move around. the city cut our residents are being asked to drive to the stadiums, to help reduce congestion on mass transit. 1700 kilometers or highways and major roads which include $207.00, a bridges. in addition to $143.00 under for, and a combination under passes and tunnels, which definitely can, you know, give the free flow for a traffic during the world cup. the public works authority has also built more than 2100 kilometers of bike and footpaths. 5 pedestrian underpasses have been designed to keep the crowds flowing in what will be the most heavily trafficked

areas. cut our 2022 organizer, say the 1st world cup in the middle east will also make history as the 1st to be carbon neutral critic say the plan is not credible, but organizers say this is another opportunity to end the nay saying, while striving to reduce the carbon footprint of one of the biggest sports events in the world. natasha can aim l. jazeera doha, or messy. rinaldo, a name r r a. some of the top stars of this year's world cup. but equally big names will stay at home. and for the sweetest holiday destination of holland county, that may be good news. they're waging an online battle for exposure with planets most inform striker as paul reese explains. elling, holland of norway leads a list of major absentees at cattle 2022. after that, countries didn't qualify for the world cup. i wish i play the world group of course,

but just really to know or don't do it. 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, on the entire italian t. that one euro 2020. but with 18 goals already from manchester city. the season holland. well, for some funds be the biggest missing name, but he won't be missed here. this is holland, a swedish coastal province trying to keep its tourism campaign on track. after being hijacked by algorithms directing people to the blonde striker holland. instead of the golden sons of holland, more and more people are looking for new places to go with the google search or other search engines and the use image search. so if you're looking for holland, all you see is a great football player and that's of course the problem. we want to show great pictures of our place, hallam holland, the sweetest county can take some comfort that it's fairly famous for football in its own right. the biggest club homestead produced former arsenal star,

frederick young bird and helen county provides the most places per capita to the swedish top league of any in sweden. but those stats might not be quite juicy enough to take helen out of hollins 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 adding to the confusion for holland holland all whole and being out of the spotlight during the well cup is unlikely to stop him popping up in searches for holland. given the norwegians fame, it's probably not an entirely unwelcome association for the sweets polar ease out his era, holland, sweden, and coming up at 20100 hours g m t. you can watch the world cup dream that's focusing on gonna so with not long to go until sundays 1st match. let's take you on a brief trip round the host country and what you can expect from cats are 2022
