african national congress. observe is describe is killing just months ahead of south africa's 1st democratic elections that dismantled racial segregation. as pushing the country to the brink of civil war, many of calling for the quarter of decision even off to so many years, it remains a wound for many self africans who have unanswered questions. especially since few people have been held accountable for crimes committed in the name of a party. for me da miller, i'll 0 and he's to palestinians have been killed during an israeli raid in the occupied westbank. ah, several others were moved it in the van and in jeanine hosting infections a cooling for a general strike and response. it has been the most violent year for palestinians in the occupied westbank since 2006. the u. s. military says

that an iso leda has been killed in operation carried out by the opposition free syrian army. in october, statement from the pentagon comes off to the group, announced elite is death. a boy hassan a has shamia career. she was killed in the southern syrian province of to ra. he's the 2nd i selina to be killed this year, chevron town see his mall from washington dc. all of the, the actual details were guessing about what happened is coming from the us military . i so only released a statement saying that i will have sign our she, me courage, she had been killed but didn't say when or where. so we should underline that even though we're talking about this right now, this occurred in, in mid october. and it was the free, so you know me in southern syria, we've been talking a lot recently about the battle that the us and the s d. after the civic sir democratic forces, the kurdish lead rebels are, are waging, if i saw in the north,

this is, this actually happened in the south. this will now be the 4th leader off. i still, since i will, who bucher baghdad. he was killed and october 2019 by the us. his successor was killed in february, also by the u. s. i, but i think was interesting now is that we have this killing in october by the free, serious. all mean, i think just the last interesting detail perhaps is it is the free syrian army who conductors right according to this operation, according to the, the us. so therefore, in the last week or so, we've been talking a great deal about operations against i saw in the north with the us and the f, d f, the kurdish lead rebels. and whether any threat and turkish incursion would affect the fight against iso. in fact, the free spirit army and the south here is backed by, by turkey. so this was a syrian freezer in army operation, but presumably using tucker support. other than that, we don't have too much more information, but always we're getting some of these details. passed out,

especially given there are so many acronyms and groupings in the region. still head on al jazeera gang violence is escalating in haiti, and thousands of people living through a reply from the capital. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with most of my cattle anyways, it's the 1st of december away we go with your weather update for europe and africa and still red weather alert. sim play for just how much rain we're going to see in northern greece. as same goes for southern bulgaria as well. i don't think it's a question if we'll see flooding, but just where and how much other side of the mediterranean. great. now some showers in the mix for that eastern side of spain. what then, wendy for the valley, eric islands as well on thursday, and we got this disturbance around the strait of gibraltar. we'll come back to what

that means for north africa in one sec, but 1st toward the northwest. this plume of atlantic rain here. it's going to continue to shuffle to the north fragment break apart. so it's stuck in a threat, the islands of ireland or britain with any wet weather. and it's got a top temperature on thursday of 9 degrees, which is actually average. now that we're in the month of december, but of a rain snow combo for sophia ball, gary on thursday with a hive 3 degrees into the top end of africa, we go. there's that weather maker. it's going to give us a damped day in robots with the high of 17 degrees. could see an outbreak of some severe thunderstorms for a south africa's eastern cape province. that we got this feet of rain, southern mozambique, also for southern madagascar as well. and 10 in river has a height of 28 degrees. that's it for me. i'll catch up with you next are the with sponsored by cat on a ways ah

with aah! from propaganda and managed manipulation to the colossal consequences. the listening post reveals the power behind the media and the impact on, on life. it's one of the biggest reasons why iraq is back at a democracy. there's no accountability analysis era. ah oh, fucking back. you've been watching al jazeera mind fall top stories this hour. i've been purchased, the southern indian state of carola against construction on a christian fishing community, says that it's causing coastal erosion and destroying livelihoods. hinder group

meanwhile says that it will create jobs. french president, money my cross, i'm washington d. c. for state visits, he began his trip with a capital dinner with president joe biden. earlier he criticize us trade subsidies, calling them john as president is using, paying has told the ici, charles michelle, the beijing will continue to spend time with the 2 needed and holding troops at a time, restraint relations. united nation says that the number of people who will need humanitarian aid next year has increased by nearly a quarter. it's appealing for a record $51500000000.00 to fund it's operations globally. the money will help bring relief to nearly 350000000 people affected by natural disasters. and conflict will also be used to tackle global issues including food shortages. laurel outbreaks in climate migration. it's going to go up by about 25 percent. wow,

that's a shocker. yeah, and it's going up each year by about $25.00 centuries. yes. and so what that means is very, very simply what the gap between me and funding is going to grow. at least 12 people have died and hazy on the gang members burned down houses near the capital. finances escalated since the assassination of president juvenile moyes, the last year. the rest of school is the severe humanitarian crisis. that is $4000.00 to flee the country. please. the van reports from puerto prince, i'm in the importer prince, they knew their eyes from the beating sun, but it is not the sun but come for them. glad of hold up her hand, demonstrating what she had to do to save her life. this but one corner of the capital that it's crowded yard till of a nation to morrow. and out pouring of anger, frustration, fear almost pe,

he population of 11000000 people faces acute hunger. without them we haven't you since yesterday we have nothing to drink. we are suffering, even our voices call, louise wife and a child killed, others made quiet by the most 96000 people, displaced by gangs in the capital alone. these people have been displaced, not once, but twice. first, they fled gang violence to take this delay. perhaps the most dangerous part of put a crown they selected where opposite the airport and then what happened is we'll start, he's chase them out. so they came here to the cdls already hoping to get something . what they get is a piece of paper from just to paces angry. neither food, no shelter has been forthcoming. others hand me this single document which a to the some where they did belong before the gang struck by that they started

shooting. we had to jump in though. i mean, there was a lot of us, we had to one in high, laid out in wait for the right time to come. i could leave then they, the capital hugo chavez, square, 3000 and displaced residence from the neighborhood of city to lay where the united nations assesses 900, some people say some catastrophic hunger. they camped on the squares concrete. well, i don't know what was the last time i had a problem with that because we've been living at the camp sleeping on the ground at night. it's freezing cold when it rain rain on us. that was until authorities surrounded the square with the brand new fence and tossed them out. in a matter of hours, i ask where they will sleep tonight. oh, in the street in the street we have nowhere to go to sleep. like the local administrator says, the number seeking aid here of swelled because locals who aren't from seduce delay, saw an opportunity for a handout. a young man still provides evidence of its own in the city,

were up to 200 gangs of fighting for territory. leading display citizens with nothing more than a scrap of paper to call their own pro the one out a 0. put a piece on to summer of record high temperatures. europe's vomas' on guessing a winter respite. the days a shorter, but the drought is continuing, especially in southern europe. as means crops, farmers have grown for centuries, may no longer be viable. under summons has tripled from romania it may look like a common site the world over, but farming is changing drastically. in romania with this year's sunflower harvest, devastated by drought. stefan marine is planning differently for the year ahead. his father v r l is giving up many traditional crops after his losses. there'll be no sun flowers, no corn, no wheat on this farm. so more shortages of staple crops,

even higher prices are being replaced by crops, more resistant to drought, used to feed livestock, not people. i learned our lesson throughout, we have to focus on feeding animals because of climate change. you can't plant something that doesn't yield a profit in money. my mortgage. you don't need to look far to find people with stretched budgets who can't understand why local farmers aren't growing their food and a more portable eliza. my job and car is no corn any more, the food is going to animals not ass. 3 bacillus thinking. we have to think really hard now. it's difficult enough, affording our bales and food has to come. second. does the i shine or is to my the science of climate change in romania confirms another fear. the drought doesn't just last for the summer. it goes right through the seasons. we haven't brought during good 10 or a month from we're the adult. well for during the culture year,

so we have problem especially with the spring across like a maze crop in the south florida crop. it's milder weather and lower rainfall that a changing the seasons. farmers around here say there are only 2 seasons these days instead of for the summer and the winter, autumn this year in temperature terms only lasted a couple of weeks. but as of yet an outburst capitalized on the lot. here bruce virile marine shows some evidence stunted sunflowers in bloom when temperatures should be sub 0. he and his son are slowly adapting, but climate change may well outpace them. andrew simmons al jazeera tele or man romania. ah, stay 12 of the well kept here and cas on teams and groups e and f,

we'll seek to reach that knockout stage. morocco needs a when or draw to go through to the round of 16 for the 1st time in nearly 40 years . while canada's hopes have already been extinguished in the groups, all the game crash and belgium will meet for a place in the next rounds. japan have both caused and suffered a world cup. upset now must win against spain to qualify for the last 16 or germany needs to beat costa rica to stand a chance. a qualifying group d was decided on wednesday, and it was a great day foster alias sa cruise. a single goal saw them finish 2nd in the group to miss your be raining well, tompkins, france, but it wasn't enough to keep them in the tournament and groom see argentina as for the last 16. despite the loss, poland will steal it. bounce meeting france in the knockout stages. saudi arabian mexico leave the world cup at the group stage, pull re spoke to fans off to the match atlas sales stadium. the 84000 funds

exits, igloo sales stadium all leaving with their world cup dreams and office. saudi arabia finished bottom of the group despite the opening, getting richer. overall, janina mexico finally found the way to school and when they're out. so how did it feel when you didn't quite make it? i feel so sad because we are waiting for the 3rd goal, sol, overhaul, all the things doesn't. we have hope you're doing this week. it was gone. and where we was sat, we're trying to do our best but dealing with some very disappointed, we came here, put a when we thought 3 bus, but i don't know maybe the injured we had so many people uh good lives on in june. so ducks, fixed, match, 1st half was not that good. second one, mexico played very, very well. it was him for us. it wasn't world. is that that 12 sided gold? well, i've been of jimmy's way messy and gradual hub in tonight. john relieved that gun

revered re out for mexico for the country. and it's okay. and mexico. see you in mexico. here in the 26th. so mexico's run of reaching the last 60 not 7 successive well cups comes to an end. for saudi arabia. it's 28 years without reaching the knockouts on counting whole race al jazeera, lisa l. stadium. the singer and bollywood actress nora fatigue is the most followed arab artist and social media with the biggest support in india, the moroccan canadian features of the official fee for soundtrack, light, the sky is $1.00 of the 4th to reach his most famous female artists. sorry, heralds caught up with her backstage out the fee for family festival in the cutoff . oh, i read one, had called them up and said, we want you to be a part of the track. and i think the reason why i came in is because of the

diversity that i bring in the kind of fan following, which is fully cosmopolitan, southeastern north african middle eastern, and it's a form of representation. so i think with my addition to the track i bring on the full spectrum of representation, we sang, i sang hindi lyrics on the track to just something really different. and there's a reason why we did that because a in hindsight is also built by south asian people along with arabs in unison. so it's important to give them that kind of representation and that love. and on top of that, cut the world cup when it's broadcasted the whole world watches. so it's nice for everyone to see a little bit of them in the song, in the dance performance wherever they can, or whether it's with their players, their teams or through the music like today we did on stage, ah, working living in india, indian artist har. ringback bollywood born in canada, so i'm like, comply isn't of different,

different things and to be able to represent in such a historical event like people will come in this part of the world. it in itself is already epic. it's crazy. it's a milestone from my career. all my friends have a lost their mind. they just, they feel like this is one of the most inspiring moments we have so many things happening at once. before football, the clear is all coming together. all the venetians coming together in a day during the performance. my audience is diverse. we have south asians, we have moroccans, we have era. and despite the fact that india doesn't play and people will come, but they're here today to support their here in spirit, to music through dance. so their presence is fell and that was my goal. when i joined this amazing world light of that and to thing like the sky to see everyone light up their phones, you know, and i think the lyrics to me is a huge mass for my career. i'm

a, i come from very humble background, very small place in toronto in canada. and you know me being like 15 years old. 60 at that time i would have never imagined be up here in such a platform and have all the love and support my think. and what about what i mean you need in to be paid to go. hit me with the top one talk. why would play belgium so well just a couple of days ago and i'm so impressed with how hard they work. and i know canada has also worked really hard. definitely supporting morocco please. canada don't hate me. but yeah, i love both the teams. you guys work hard play hard and.
