a year or 2 younger thanks to a new law. in the 1st world come quote, a final match kicks off in an hour, 5 time champions. brazil will play croatia. ah, russian president vladimir persian his future prisoner swamps with the united states, the possible it follows the release of american basketball star. brittany greiner from a russian prison, she was freed in exchange for convicted arms dealer, victor boot, who was released from the us jail, petty calhoun reports. and with this w, n. b, a basketball star, brittany grinders 10 month long ordeal. and she is back on us soil. she didn't speak to the media, moved to a military hospital for evaluation and to be reunited with her wife. and parent greiner was arrested in a russian airport in february, after authorities found traced amounts of cannabis oil in her luggage. she was

sentenced to 9 years in prison, but after months of negotiation, she had at home on thursday. in exchange for the u. s. releasing notorious russian armed dealer, victor boot. this video reportedly shows when it happened, the very tall griner recognizable. she walks away and a man who appears to be boot walking in the other direction. on the tarmac in the united arab emirates, written state media release, this video of grider making the journey from russia. the relief visible on her face was president joe biden announced the news in a tweet showing himself grinders wife and vice president and secretary of state, speaking to the basketball star as she made her way on the long journey home. after months being unjustly detained, and russia held under on tolerable circumstances, pretty will soon be back in the arms of her loved ones and, and she should have been there all along. the,

the americans exchanged her for victor boot nicknamed the merchant of death. he was halfway through a 25 year prison sentence, for conspiring to kill american export in anti aircraft missiles and providing support to a terrorist organization. and that is one of the reasons biden is facing some criticism of the swap. we traded a basketball player for a known terrorist, a criminal. another concern that this could get other americans are arrested overseas. but most of the complaints are that greiner is coming home alone. the u. s. fail to win freedom for former marine. paul whalen, convicted of espionage in 2020, and sentenced to 16 years in a russian prison. president biden says they'll continue negotiating for his release . greiner had written a letter to president biden, where she worries should be forgotten to day, making it clear that wasn't the case. she's home. particle, he l 0. washington. let's speak to our white house correspondent,

kimberly healthcare now and we just through the russian prison flitting. the person has said that future prisoner swaps with united states a possible when they can only be a good sign for poor whalen. ad there's no question. the white house is paying attention to those signals we've just heard from the national security spokesperson, john kirby who has intimated that the white house is taking these signals from russia and is actively considering them a, in the context that to this is a good sign for paul whalen, the american that was not able to be released as part of this exchange between brittany griner and victor boot. what we know is that the feel is here in the united states is that there is now a certain atmosphere that has been created. and there are now actors discussions underway between the russian diplomats,

us diplomats for the release of pol whalen. but the problem in all of this is that the charges that paul, well, it is facing, are much more serious. he's been charged with espionage and it's clear from the u. s. side the. the russians are treating these charges very differently than the ones that brittany griner was accused of. trace amounts of cannabis oil found in her luggage. very small drug possession charges in contrast. now, the feeling of the united states is that they have a better understanding of where the russians are on this, in terms of negotiating. they do know that they had hoped that this could be sort of a package deal of 2 americans. given the fact that to the merchant of death, victor boot, obviously his crimes very severe and they felt that there would be sort of a, as a package deal of 2 americans for one. but in the end, russians believed that this was going to be a $1.00 to $1.00 deal. and so now the americans are really bad facing as sort of

starting all over again if you will. but there is optimism here in the united states. they will be able to make progress. but in the midst of all this, we have to remember that the united states is also as narrow at odds with russia when it comes to its invasion of u frame. they say this is something that is very different. the 2 issues are being dealt with separately, but still this does complicate matters and they thank you so much. that is our white house correspondent, kimberly help as well as get more from russia. ali hush him is following developments and moscow. victor booth did an exclusive interview with the russian or international broadcaster, and he explained the situation of his imprisonment. also, he linked between the 19 like he is collapse of the soviet union and today's standoff between russia and the west. also, aside from that,

there was other russian officials commenting on this swap for the russian kremlin spooks versus the scott was saying that this won't have any kind of impact on relations between russia and the like i said so about it's clear that there is a channel there are channel several channels that are already in place between the 2 countries. despite the fact they are fighting in direct your exchanging bullet similarity. but the fact that to nuclear powers like russia and the united states, still having channels to talk to negotiate a bruises or a swaps are all kind of assuring to to, to some people, well, the prisoner swap isn't the only back general communication that we're seeing. russian and us officials beaten sample on friday. the 2 sides discussed difficult questions, but few details have been released. will bristle, sarah is in

a sample for us and missile, do we have any idea of what they might have talk talked about? well, not much of information have be shared with the, with, with, with media repress members so far. but i can say that that american delegation is being in a stumble and mit in the russian delegation was the surprise off that they saw the russian delegation as the know is had by the russian deputy foreign minister said again version and, and it's a huge delegation day he arrived to istanbul yesterday to meet the turkish deputy for the minister said that, and i'll end to discuss the war in ukraine. the greenville in black sea and turkish potential are ground offensive into syria. and also the matters related to libby as well. that was the schedule, and also we have been informed that he's going to visit the joint coordination center for the black sea green initiative. but we haven't been informed the media members haven't been informed that the american delegation are going to be here.

and they're going to miss sergey version or so we do not know the content of the meeting between russian and the american delegations yet. and we do not know who have represented the american side, whether it was the security, the secret service members or the representatives or the head of caea. we do not know that because just a month ago and in less than a month ago on november 14th, there has been a meeting between the head of the russian security, the secret service had and also had of caea. and it was the highest level diplomat, the contact between these 2 countries since the beginning of the deceased, the war began in ukraine and in less than a month. this is the 2nd time that the diplomat from 2 countries on meeting in a stumbled prison that won't say that on. on sunday he's going to have a phone call with president putin of russia. and one of them is zaleski off of ukraine as well. so with he's going to discuss about the green deal, but definitely what have been talking stumbles is going to be quite important. and linsmith in between these 2 delegations just come in one day after the de swept the

prisoners of between the, between russia and the andi did the usa. so in that sense, as of now, we do not how much of information. however, having the communication channels open between these 2 nuclear power is quite important and for president, one and turkey has been working hard to make turkey as a hard for mediating between russia and ukraine and apparently as of now he's achieving that goal. okay, thank you. so much that's russell sort of for us. and as stan bull, us democrats are clinging on to their fragile control of the senate. after sitting sinister announced plans to leave the posse, arizona. senator nick kristen cinema has decided to register as an independent. she says she no longer wishes to participate in the bi partisan structure of the us government. it comes at a delicate moment for the democrat suit, lost control of the house of representatives in the mid term elections. will she

have retents? he joins us live from washington, d. c. now and do we have any idea why she left? yeah, she's been quite expansive. actually. she right. another toil of hours. a newspaper which released about 3 hours ago announcing this and she's given interviews. she says she does never fit into a, into a party box. she didn't want to go into work each day and have to follow blindly, the orders from the party high command. she's actually talking about finding real solutions, using bipartisan efforts in the toil. there she was in the, in arizona, the number of people who are registering is independence is out pasting days, registered with either national party. i think this is closer to the reasons behind . behind cinemas move. she was, she was probably going to face a primary challenge from the down in the democratic party in 2024. she has infuriated progressives that others over the last year standing in the way of key parts of the biking, legislative agenda, which you could do because it was

a 5050 senate in a state one senator to to, to, to, to the rule that the balance of power at notably, and she would be fighting to keep tax breaks for wall street bankers, 1000000 as a 1000000000. she was fighting against drug pricing reform, which was trying to make pharmaceuticals cheaper all the time. i'll take breaking and loads of cash from wall street and big pharma. so the left was really angry with it. we've got a primary challenge. it seemed. she's not preemptive that by becoming, by becoming an independent it would seem. what does this mean for the democrats in the senate over the next couple of years? one, all the indications seem to be now and were 3 hours since you made the announcement that actually not much is going to change. i think a lot of democrats work up with this news on the social media feeds and what i, what we just got a 5149 majority in the senate funding the, the georgia runoff. and now this, but actually in us over the last few hours,

all the spokes spokes person she has. so i've been suggesting that she will continue to caucus with the democrats who extra talk about independence. she has actually voted with bite and 93 percent of the time. it's not, not uncommon for independence to be caucusing with the democrats because, i mean, we have bunny saunders in vermont. we have angus king and main get these are, these are these of independence. normally who are caucusing with a democrat, it looks very much like that's what she will be doing. she keeps saying she intends to retain her committee assignments that were given to her by the democratic leadership. and that wouldn't be the case if, if she was not going to start caucusing, but the republicans, for example. so we do expect things to largely stay very, very much the same. but in that, in that cinema away, she's still not explicitly saying things keeping that leverage, keeping people guessing that is very much the same way. okay, thank you so much. does she have photography for us in washington, dc? oh, still a hit on al jazeera anger and lima, supporters of former president,

hitler, to seo demand his release after he was impeached and detained on charges of attempting . and how the world cup is inspiring. the next generation of stafford falls in brazil. ah hello, welcome to look at the international forecast is looking pretty dry across a good part of china at present, maybe one or 2 showers towards the a yellow sea just pushing up towards the korean peninsula. but essentially, what a fine and dry weather caisson raising folk to watch out for early on temperatures getting up to route for celsius. they're in beijing as he wanted to shout into eastern parts as we go on through sash. they still a few showers lurking across the far north of japan and where to weather becoming

with in depth analysis of the days headlines from around the world, do you think diplomacy still stands at chugs? not, not very up. can be speak about any negotiation. we're already in a bit of a crypto winter. it's going to be hell holder insight story on al jazeera. ah ah, you're watching al jazeera reminder of our top stories. the seller russian president vladimir putin says, future prisoners swaps with the united states a possible. it follows the release of american basketball. sa, brittany greiner from russian prison,

marching for the former leader supporters. a fatal casteel gathered outside the prison, which has been held from the heart of the capital city to the south of the country supporter say they want him freed. it is latest political classism from didn't wednesday when castillo was impeached by congress. when he left the presidential palace, the order to arrest him had already been issued, he was on his way to the mexican embassy to seek asylum. at cassius own escorts were instructed to detain him at gunpoint. he was flown to this prison on the outskirts of the capitol, where he'll stay for at least the next 7 days as an investigation into allegations of rebellion and conspiracy gets underway. a v 8. his lawyer has rejected the charges and says, casting his detention is illegal outside. angry supporters blamed the new president the number one, what the forecast the years down for us as

a man's don't miss it as yet? until a month ago, she was saying that if diana say she castillo, there would go with him. now she takes over the presidency and says, she doesn't agree with the crew to tom bon, what a base build 6th precedent in 5 years. and the 1st woman to lead the nation on her 1st full day in office. she appealed for a political truce, but refused to rule out the possibility of early elections. just take a al moon as was some voices are calling to have early elections and that is democratic, highly respectable. i think that after the assumption of the presidency, it's time for a beat of our reorientation of what else to be done with a country audience. opinion pull, say 87 percent of peruvians want fresh elections, frustrated by years of political turmoil. most of the news former leaders are being investigated for some form village at corruption. castillo is being held, the sink poison as former precedent,

and that defeated moiety is okay. he'll and i went the for he, marty, who is serving a 25 year sentence for human rights abuses. they are the only former resident. okay . to close to congress illegally. he never lot of the wants to bring an end to the political feuding which has paralyzed the country for years. as she chooses those who will be in her cabinet. she wants to show poor peruvians, they will not be forgotten. adiana sanchez tells us he that lee must be to at least one person is dead after a fire at a shopping center and russia. it happened in the northern outskirts of moscow with the mega kinky mall. russian media say it was caused by malfunctioning electrical equipment. fire safety rules were also reportedly not followed. meanwhile, in istanbul, a fire broke out at a hotel located on the grounds of a former palace. plumes of black smoke rose from the 4th floor of the structure along the bus 1st. every one was evacuated from the hotel and there have been no

reports of injuries. a funeral has been held for palestinian teenager who was killed in an as israeli ride on thursday. 17 year old steer, re movie, and 4 others were killed by israeli forces in 2 different rides in the occupied whist bank. this has been the deadliest year for palestinian since 2006 of the 217. have been killed by israeli forces including al jazeera journalist. sure in our clay. 9 people have died in an explosion at a coal mine in indonesia is not known what caused the blast and with sumatra authorities believe the mind is filled with methane gas. rescue as a trying to evacuate one person still trapped south koreans will get a year or 2 younger and january, at least on piper. the government has passed laws to scrap the countries to traditional counting systems in favor of

a standard international one. this includes the tradition of counting people as one year old at birth and adding one year every january. first, eunice chem reports from salt near is day here is often met with a little bit of anchor and that's because on january 1st one year is automatically added to everybody's age. much like it was for our ancestors. this means also for babies. was there a boy, there are automatically one year old, making the korean age, often one to 2 years older than the international standard of wool twirl around the sun, which is being used in legal and health matters. which again, we use international age when banking. so i often get confused. that said to change at least on paper, starting in the middle of 2023 president, you sonya is set to sign a bill that was nearly unanimously approved by a parliament to standardize age and south korea to align with international norms.

so how do south koreans feel about getting younger next year from 2 years ago to submit a form 72 years old? now that means are we 7 to years with the change? i also think it will be great news for people who are getting married later. people over 40 years old, all voices. they're reflecting what was found in a september survey. 8 out of 10 people said they agree with the change. only 6 percent said keep the status quo. but given the hierarchical structure of south korea society observer say it will likely take some time before the international age truly seems into the social structure of bone young shook as a research fellow at yon se university. he says koreans are widely in favor of the charge. there is a very strong support for the town to spend the aging system. by the time

that, i mean, who is they know to, you know, getting younger by one or 3 years old. well, it has been the part of tradition of korea country that used to be very strong practice in the chinese civilization. so chinese aging has a 24. 1 is fight, luna then. so you are already in one, you know, all of the, by the time you are out in this world. and another chance this would add one more year when you passed the 1st years they, according to the calendar. but international aging system would say that the, you are, you know, you're all by the pay your board. so this is a common for it to push the south bend society in the direction of globalization. the getting down to the wire at

the football. well, comp and cutter is the 1st quarter. final matches get underway in around 30 minutes . of the board with saudi arabia has seen a large influx after decision to remove the higher card requirement for nations of gulf countries. fans without tickets are allowed into the host nation to enjoy all the football action of croatia are up against 5 time champions, brazil, shortly. let's speak to join a get raska, who's outside education for the stadium. and i mentioned is plenty of nervous fans making their way. there was not so much know that the creation fans nervous. but the brazil fans with a super, super confident because they played such a beautiful game against south korea when they read them full one in the last 16 and the recently in the pack has been described. terrifying. why proration? you know, if you look about, saw stuff is line up, it features they mom junior and charlotte and he's on 3 goals. so fall in
