understand the differences and similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what lucy, al jazeera will bring you the news and current affairs that matter to you. al jazeera, a new series, exploring how traditional knowledge from indigenous communities is helping tackle to these environmental catastrophe. we follow as sammy, communities conflict with the plan to build a mine in their northern sweden home land one that could endanger their ecosystems and their way of life. first nations on time, black butterflies, the cost of going green on al jazeera. ah, ah naught. abraham is named malaise. yes,

recent general election. no party secured an outright majority in saturdays vote, but on was coalition one most seats. it was left to king soul con abdullah to find the consensus and named alida. i'd speak to florence slowly in qualon, paul, so after all these years, i wonder how the country is reacting is on what i brought him and many others pinching themselves today. absolutely. i mean, a lot of what you're seeing on social media, and there are about $62.00 and a half 1000 tweets with the hash tag 10th prime minister of malaysia because he is going to be sworn in at the 10th prime minister of malaysia in about 2 hours, some people are saying this is the beginning of a new dawn for malaysia because remember on why i brought him coalition ran on a campaign of bringing reforms to this country. it was also a more multi ethnic coalition, compact to the other coalitions. and this is the culmination of

a very long political journey for on war a brought him, he started politics within a party that had long been dominant in malaysian politics. and then he switched and then he was imprisoned because he fell out with b. then prime minister, martha mohammed, who at one time with finn and his as his proxy j on way brought him at one point was the parent he was the deputy prime minister. but the falling out between the 2 men lead to on why brought him being jailed for sodomy and corruption charges widely seen as politically motivated. now his jailing lead to the birth of an opposition movement movement. and in fact, the chance of reform reform, those chance was still being used by his coalition, the alliance of hope. now his emergence, as the leader of the opposition was really something quite unexpected. and the fact that he was able to unite a group of very disparate parties with very different ideals was something that no

one had thought was possible. and he let that opposition coalition grow from strength to strength. in 2013, they won the popular vote in 2018 at that time where he, they worked together with his old phone. they mohammed, they defeated they, it led to a cult. historic defeat of the national front had been been in power for more than 60 years. and on one was very close to becoming the prime minister of malaysia then . but his coalition fell apart because of inviting and defections. and he found himself once more to be the opposition leader again until the election in 2000 in 2020 on saturday when his side won the highest number of feats, but yet fell short of a majority. or i will leave it there. thanks so much. well, it's slowing. now the world's biggest apple i phone maker folks calling is apologize to work, is that it sang joe factory officer protests for better pay in china is strict

cobra 19 policy turn violent becomes as china recorded more than 31000 cases in a day, the highest so far, joe is now preparing to long down for 5 days to curb rising covered 900 cases. patrick falk is following the story from hong kong. report say that the unrest of the false compliance in jungle has now been brought under control of the company as agreed to pay work is that it only recently joined the equivalent of around $1400.00 us dollars to end the protest and leave the campus immediately as far as we understand, they were upset of working conditions and in particular because they reportedly being exposed to other workers that have been infected by the virus. they rule so complaining that folks gone had failed to pay them the salaries and bonuses that they'd been promised. now it's unclear what's of impact this is going to have on apple precisely,

but chinese media report say that as many as $100000.00 people had come to work at this facility. following recent similar unrest which saw many workers flee from the plant saying that they've never come back again. really because of the same source of complaints. and remember this plants and jim jo accounts for around 50 or 60 percent of apples. i for production capacity. so undoubtedly, this is going to mean serious delays for orders and shipments moving forward, but this will also have reputational damage for apple as well. and the company will need to consider very carefully what the supply chain implications are. and what sort of challenges they're going to face brought on by china 0 curved approach. separately, china registered. it's highest, a daily rate of infection today. just over 31000 cases recorded e 3, surpassing the previous peak hit in april earlier this year. and authorities that

continue to cite and cubs in place like cha ching, and wong, joe, and beijing and shanghai. it's also creating a lot of uncertainty for people here in hong kong. because the last few years china is opening up and the normalization of the situation. hong kong here has been very much tied to what happens on the mainland, on that speak now tie in the tangle in beijing. he's a senior fellow at ty haynes to choose a non profit. think tank good to have you with us. first of all, one, do these numbers tell us about the 0 coven policy? is it working? well, 1st off, a lot of this is they say 0 corporate policy. but instead of using what i would call a blunt instrument and saying, we're going to lock down everything they're trying to take a more surgical approach. but that had mixed results, as we can see. i mean, although now 90 percent of the cases are in fact people without symptoms and things

like that. it's still represents the mass of danger. you have to remember china is not your united states. they don't have the same medical facilities. you know, that advanced countries do and they could easily be overwhelmed. they're also concerned about a long co bid. and just how to kind of go through this. i mean, there's tremendous frustration. the government isn't doing this to spite anybody. you're trying to protect the people. but the question is, how do you do that in a responsible manner and balance out some of these economics, your interests, when you're dealing with something that's, you know, it's science, it's not politics. i'm precisely perhaps on that point, how far do you think the government will go will can go this time round with restrictions in some areas. we've seen protests over cove restrictions, right? absolutely. so, i mean, i mean there's, there's so much frustration around, you know, people just say, oh, i want to be over cove, it, but unfortunately, that's not how it works scientifically. it also is exacerbated by the fact that,

you know, chinese people see pictures of, you know, foreign areas and they hear from their friends that you can walk around any major city in the world. they don't really understand that, you know, the u. s. longevity has decreased by 3 years and 2019 it's just people have gone to the point where they say, oh, i don't care anymore unless of course they are somebody they love gets it. so in terms of how far they go, i would expect the government to, as they have in gen, joe there's you know, in areas where it's very densely populated and they cannot control ingress and egress. basically, how people moving around. they're actually being more cautious counterpoint to that . you know, universal studios opened up, you know, last month after a 5 day shut down period. and, and disney land inspected to open on friday. so you know where they can control things. they are opening it up where they can't control things and there's a spread. they are closing, closing things down. but this is very,

very different approach than before when they would just say, hey, there's 40 cases in the city. let's shut it down. all right, it's a different approach. will it make a difference to the chinese economy and of course to the world economy? well, you know, it's, it's tremendous or frustrating. there's only 3 percent growth. they had anticipated 5.8. i mean, 3 percent would be, you know, static if it was europe or united states. but for china, you know, they have a bigger goals and they have a, you know, us a different geared economy. so yes, it is hurting the economy. and the question is, how you do with that? i mean, it's fine to say, well this, let's put money before people. but that doesn't work as well when you're talking about a socialist nation. they, they really say we have a duty to protect the people and to do the best we can. the question is, how do you read that needle? what, what kind of restrictions are necessary to protect people and still allow the economy

to go on? i mean, you know, in fox con, which is owned by, it's a taiwanese company, owned by terry. good. i mean, they tried this to keep everything internal, that basically they would just keep everybody in the factory separate from everybody else hoping to avoid any kind of infection. it didn't necessarily work. there were definitely missteps, and they're trying to move on from that. but, you know, at this juncture, they're willing to try almost anything as long as it works. and then by works, i mean, protects the people while allowing economic activity. i mean, they're desperate right? to get the small medium size enterprises opened up again. all right, thanks. so much for your thoughts on that new russian air strikes have further damage ukraine's electricity grid causing widespread blackouts. now key of says russia fight around 70 cruise missiles and deployed rocket drones on wednesday. that's killed at least 6 people, the stripes, disruptive power supplies in the southern, in eastern regions,

leaving millions without power. and water, of the ukrainian president is accusing russia of committing crimes against humanity . one of them is that ascii urge the un security council to condemn any form of what he called energy terror. the attacks come, as e u, energy ministers meet to adopt new proposals. member states of so far failed to reach an agreement on a price cap on russian oil on the ground. russia is preparing for a possible new offensive, hammered vow has more from moscow after setbacks for russia's forces in the war in ukraine. these videos, broadcast by the ministry of defense, are widely seen as a morale booster for the public. the country, his leaders say it cannot lose miss stella sidney. we have to come to stronger because we are together and i knew the truth is behind it. and in trula very

strange it, which made you the victory, my dear, the road you victory will be out in seeds suggesting russian military domination of air on sea, where broadcast across the country is television screens and social media platforms on saturday. no one questions, the size and power of russia's military. it has the world's largest combat tank fleet, its largest self propelled artillery system. the 2nd largest military air fleet, the 2nd largest number of warships and it boss, 1300000 personnel including reserves, but many are questioning its performance rations are wondering how can a country with all this military superiority, lose battle after battle in front of a much smaller army like that of ukraine is vinny to nobody them nothing also to, excuse me, how do you assess the specially military operation now no comment. it's difficult

to get to reaction on the street. ah, it's against the ukraine backed up by more than 50 industrialized nations, the so called ramstein coalition. and in such a war of attrition against the coalition of industrial nations that have a g d p. more than a 100 times that of russia and a military industrial complex also bigger than russia, and have more sophisticated weapons as a war, russia cannot win, perennially reduced on 9. november came the big shock, the minister of defense on the advice and request of his most combative field commander. sergey. sir avi king ordered the withdrawal of russian forces from hampson. it was the only regional capital russia had captured since it's invaded ukraine. and now russia is on the defensive. so

russia right now hopes that they are in 5th enough casualties on the ukrainians, the they will suppress ukrainian or oak tricity grid and that ukraine. and that the, the economic crisis, the energy crisis in the west, will make the west put pressure on ukraine for some kind of ceasefire. russia desperately needs a ceasefire because the continuation of the war brings a russian the feet back on russia preparations for a possible new offensive underweight of an gout. supersonic missiles are being mobilized and on friday, moscow announced the 2nd test launch of its most destructive conventional weapon. the surmount, intercontinental, ballistic missile, popularly nicknamed satan, ah, don't boss region. soldiers are being trained on what's described as you. and

previously, unknown weapons. moscow's message appears to be russia hasn't exhausted, it's miss. and that's left many wondering what the next phase of this war would look like. i'm at one, a da 0 moscow. the cranes capital is among the cities without power and water. after russian attacks, warry chance reports now from ki iv bodies lying the gloom of the ukrainian blackouts. the collateral damage russia's latest onslaught against ukraine's power grid. an onslaught civilians would be forgiven for feeling directed specifically at them. nearly 70 missiles and drones were launched as ukraine's leadership. 51 of them down. imagine the destruction if moore had got through. so it would need you one moment, would you, parliament declared russia state sponsor of terrorism today. finally, i'm grateful to all the european parliamentarians. then russia approved it true to

the whole word, launched in $67.00 rockets at our infrastructure and our energy at regular civilians. the result is tragic. presidents, lensky insists. engineers are working flat out to get power and water back up again . but they've got an enormous task ahead. pretty much every city across this large country has a skyline, as dark as this one on wednesday night from cave to cock give from denise pro to a desa. people are shivering in their candle at homes, and the temperature has dropped below 0. it was a day that began with death to this was a maternity unit on the outskirts of apparition until russian missiles arrived. an e born baby was killed. the mother and 2 doctors badly survived ro bolos. she said a muscle hit the maternity hospital and she could not find her child. she was pulled up from under the rebel by the emergency workers. her child was dead. people

who believe that russia losing ground to ukraine's military is trying to break civilian will instead. despite the death and discomfort, they insist they won't be broken, will re talents. how does era here? still haven't al jazeera patrolling the skies, we looked at the extra security in place of the cancer world. com. ah. with european africa, this is your weather update. let's go and read off the back or warn you about the risk of flooding through southern turkey, cypress eventually its energy crashes into the coast of the van. so really, over the next day or 2, anywhere in the zone could see some flooding. other side of the mediterranean right now we've got this run of rain through northern portion western areas of spain,

but we've lost those powerful winds through this straight of drew bolter. we'll come back to that stroke one second, but 1st central your brain. now some snow for the swiss helps the austrian alps, few snow showers and bore, says, wall and drying off through the balkans. that's certainly good news after that last round of deadly flooding there weather maker is sweeping through the islands of ireland and britain. so white and windy here that eventually moves into western france and the low countries, off to africa. we go right now. the wind warnings have been dropped for northern algeria and tunisia, but now wind warnings for the northeast of libya, north west of egypt, and that's going to spin around the sand in dust, an impact the visibility there is we head toward thursday and friday, southern africa, right now looks like this, this focus on south africa, really along the coastline here, running the risk of seeing some showers, that breezy at times as well, mostly cloudy day in durban, with a high of 26 degrees. ah,

ah, i'm good with lou. ah. okay, back you're watching out just a time to recap our headlines. malaysia is long time politician on word,

but he has been named prime minister no policy secured. now right majority and saturday selection was coalition one most seats, the world's biggest apple i phone make folks calling has apologized to work, is also a protest demanding best to pay. and china is strict cope with 19 policy turned violent. it comes as china recorded more than 31000 cases in a day. the highest so far. new russian air strikes have left several ukrainian cities without power. water is temperature is plummet. president of the salt me zalinski is accusing moscow of crimes against humanity. the european union says serbia and costs have reached a deal to end the dispute about car license plates in cost of a cost of always a former province of serbia. it's decision to ban serbian issued flights response pension. i think subs living in kosovo were facing fines if they didn't change the

plates. i would like to point out that we also read that contagion of obstruction bite. either party d u facilitator may terminate the process. together, review a special representative meter for pleasure. i will continue to facilitate the brushes of normalization of relations, an update. it will be a union member to state and partners regularly about the progress achieve might depart. more than 12000 indonesian soldiers of joined search and rescue efforts. after monday's earthquake in west java, the tremor killed at least 271 people injured more than 2000 official say around 40 people are still missing. they think many of the rubble where the land slides and mountainous terrain of all humphrey recovery efforts. ah,

another shot chris al to the football world. cough with fall time champions, germany beaten by japan. the germans took the leave, but the 2nd half goes from the seminar. i blew, gave japan a 2 to one when the police, the stadium, germany was not down to the last world camp in the group stages. the 1st match of the days in less than 3 hours, switzerland facing camera, victoria gate b, is that a popular spot for fans? so kwok, if in doha, then we can go to a now so, so it was, it was kind of become the unofficial multi national fans and asthma and tell us how it's abbas now it really has it's a great atmosphere down here. there are a lot of japanese spans this morning, taking breakfast and when you talk to them, they cannot quite believe cell that they be germany. it's a shock for them. they're obviously thrilled that are all very,

very happy indeed. there are lots of other fans as he said he had to the game today . i guess switzerland and cameroon were joined by a camry and fan. now, raphael, you beat algeria to get to this world cup. how do you rate your chances? and this will come, i'll see you, i'm bit scared. we had some pretty bad results for a good friend, liza. and even like during the afternoon, we were cleaned out well. so, but saturday but showed us the surprises. so hopefully we'll, we'll have that in your case. you cameron, kate, he has a pretty interesting back story. tell us about him go, her song was clear, there was some at all, all back in the day. actually his nephew alex song i played for. busy busy arsenal, so all you know, he's a very big figure come through. hopefully will be able to bring us at least report a final some hoping even further perhaps. but oh yeah it was it. and you had a long journey hair or where did you come from? yes, i live in new york city, so yeah, i flew in from new york city to paris 6 hours in paris here. 6 hours. so i'm,

i'm quite tired, but also very excited for the magistrate. okay, thanks very much for joining us. i keep good luck. busy day, so as you heard on switzerland as switzerland on paper, the better team, but obviously high hopes are for cam marine from their fan. all right, thanks so much for calling again from the there. now you are a grey is one of only 8 countries to have won the world cup and they've claimed the trophy twice. it's been a long time since the glory days. a latin america is alyssa newman has more. from montevideo, i'm in what looks like quite an ordinary residential neighborhood in monte vale, except that there is nothing ordinary about this street. this was once an enormous football stadium where the world's 1st world cup was played back in 1930. it was all demolished except for this. this line indicates where the 1st goal passed in the 1st world cup. on the 13th of july,

at 319 in the afternoon. the final game was played here in the scent 10 re stadium. the only stadium in the world has been declared a historic football monument by fi fi do. and it's right next to earth guys, fascinating football museum. and here's another fun fact. this was the 1st ball used in the 1st world cup. in those days they weigh boy kilos. pure leather, can you imagine a header with one of those? but that wasn't the only problem with the ball. it turns out that in the final match of the very 1st world cup, argentina insisted on using its own ball and were a why the same thing. so they decided the 1st half would be played with the argentine ball. they one to nil. but in the 2nd half, it would be the herb, why and ball, and look what happened or why $14.00 against 2, and became the 1st woke up winner. it when i run up the risky, you go on twice,

1st in 1930 and then in 1950 desert because the original world cup 30 centimeters to 2 loads of pure gold at the origin of one was stolen in brazil after it had won the cup for the 3rd time, it was stolen from a museum, sir. ah, for a long time the st. terry was the world's most modern stadium. clearly a lot has changed except for one thing 72 years after it's the last world cup. when or a wines are dreaming more than ever a bringing the cup back home or have more on the fall out from germany's shock close to japan in our world cup special coverage with p systemic than santa hamish at 1030 g m t. and of course, we'll also look ahead the days for matches cutters, energy chiefs, sad them, cabby says business with german fans won't be affected by the german economy

ministers. criticism of the world cup roberts habit reportedly said last week award and cut the tournament was quote, a stupid idea and can't really be explained otherwise than by corruption. i read that and if this is, these quotes are absolutely true or i am really shocked that he'd say something like that because accusing somebody of corruption legally is something that is very serious. and if you accuse somebody of corruption without having poor and just throwing it out there, or you're legally liable to something like that. and somebody that's responsible in a german government should not be saying something like that. and it's very disappointing to hear him say that. or if the courts are true, cutter has created a joint security task force with partners from 13 countries to ensure a seamless world cup. in addition to thousands of troops,

there are warships and jet fighters securing the tournament. 8 typhoon jets from the u. k. is royal air force are participating from their basin to hon. son, bon jovi, reports ah, getting ready to secure the skies the task, the defense of but there's stopping here space as part of operation growth here. throughout the tournament, a craft will be on alert to react to any unexpected circumstances. home to one of the largest us spaces in the world. but there has been transforming and modernizing its military capabilities in the last decade. a joint cutter, u. k. squadron will be securing the sky for the future will come with a typhoon fighter jets. but the door has. skyline is no stranger to the u. k. royal air force each time previously for an exercise. you know, in december they always culminated with

a very proud participation and katara national day for fly crossed over to her this year is very different. so this is a much longer deployment, where here for up to 6 months under here, like to say to really set the guitar typhoon wing off on a running starts procedures. a fairly major bed in the middle, which is support to the security of woke up 22 and it's very exciting to me. during the tournament, 13 countries are involved in various capacities to preempt and deal with multi dimensional challenges. the ministry of defense, as it's sure will be to support the ministry of interior and security committee and also to protect, prevent, and deter any threat towards the airspace. non borders and territorial waters, air force, navy, and land forces which are all under the combined gross task force under the ministry. so all are all borders, all territorial waters.
