of the largest crypto currency funds is charged with defrauding investors after me arrested in the bahamas and getting set for world cup semi final showdown. midfield mice rose line up for the battle between argentina and croatia. ah hello. it's being held as a potential game changer in the field of korean energy. the u. s. has just announced what it's calling a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion. the department of energy says scientists carried out an experiment using the technology, producing more energy than it consumed. fusion is seen as a potential clean power source that could revolutionize the energy sector. last week at the lawrence livermore national laboratory and california scientists at the national ignition facility achieve diffusion ignition. and that is creating more
8:02 pm
energy from fusion reactions than the energy used to start the process. it's the 1st time it has ever been done in a laboratory anywhere in the world. simply put, this is one of the most impressive scientific feats of the 21st century. advocates say if the technology is perfected, it can provide limitless clean energy calling. baker explains how it works. nuclear fusion is joining adams together at high speeds. it's what happens in the sun, and it releases huge amounts of energy. scientists have wanted to replicate that process since the dawn of the nuclear age. unlike vision, power fusion does not dump dangerous radioactive material into the environment, and it doesn't to produce carbon emissions. it does need extreme conditions, very hot, very pressurized, and it's difficult to sustain. however,
8:03 pm
it cannot cause a chain reaction. if the process fails, it simply shuts down as well as the u. s. france, china and the u. k. all have invested billions of dollars into this research, but they're still decades away from delivering a system that works. many experiments use a machine called a took a mac, which looks like a donor, and uses powerful magnets to contain the reaction. another uses a modified cannon to smash 2 targets together. in california, scientists have fired a powerful laser. the size of a building at a ball of hydrogen isotopes, smaller than a p, the p implodes, fusing to make new elements. and the force that was holding them together is released as energy that can be captured and converted to electricity. we've been hearing announcements about fusion for years, but this time, scientists say they have generated more energy than they used in the process. which could be good news for the planet. ukraine's allies have pledged
8:04 pm
a $1000000000.00 worth of aid to help him get through the winter. russian forces continued to target vital civilian infrastructure. more than 70 countries, an institutions offered to help after an appeal by president followed him as a landscape during a donor. a conference in paris, french presidents from anywhere micros as rushes, the tax on energy infrastructure among to war crimes or challenges and sheesh. he says, ukraine is in dire need of international health. the reality here in ukraine is that this is a country with very, very little a huge deficit in energy at the moments with pretty much every thermal power station in this country, damage in some way or another up by rushes, recent drone and miss alice strikes zalinski was talking to this conference by video link and he was saying that what's ukraine needs at the moment are basic bits of infrastructure, basic things that can remedy the deficits in energy. so generators,
8:05 pm
transformers backups for those transformers, back up with a back up. so that when russia strikes, again, which is probable, then these systems can kick in and get power back on line as quickly as possible. if you have early d's to make sure that it is, it's the illumination that people have and buildings and, and homes is as low energy as possible money to basically make sure that this is all stream lines and an online platform, so that ukraine's needs when they when they arise can be fulfilled by its friends and allies around the world as quickly as possible. now at the conference, or it wrapped up basically with more than $1000000000.00 in dollars in aids being pledged to ukraine. $400000000.00 of that or so is going to go to the energy grid. then the remainder when it's properly allocated will goes things,
8:06 pm
health care and transportation and water. crucial things that the ukraine needs to get through the winter. ah, so origin tina and carissa faceoff for a place in the world cup final here and del ha in less than 2 hours time. the match at lou sales, stadium pits, 2 of the greatest players to where a number 10, jersey against each other, you know, messy and lucas rich. both want to be crown champion for the 1st time at what's likely to be their final world cup appearance. we have marin versus shoes in the corporation, capital zagreb for us, he's joining us from bear. so the temperatures must be below freezing, where you are is not stopping the creation fans from coming to watch and support their team. it's definitely more comfortable to day to be nudging digney and fence somewhere in when a scientist than the gratian fan here in zagreb. i mean,

8:08 pm
a group stage of this is the knockout phase, and we can only suppose that earlier known, messy is also very, very hungry to beat creation team. so 2 hours ago there's a. busy little by little people and fans in their jerseys, coming towards the center city. we'll see how it goes in couple of hours. yeah, we sure will. okay, thank you so much for giving us not updates from zagreb, and were crossing back to dell. ha, because we have alexi o'brien who's standing for us as standing by for us rather in la salle right here in the high. so, alexey presumably those who have been lucky enough to get a ticket to watch the match up the stadium are on their way. right? now, but tell us what's going on in the sale boulevard where you are because excitement must be really building up. right. i have to say over the past hour, the proud really has the building here on the sale though with that, which isn't

8:11 pm
mediterranean is affecting turkey. in the event we had flashed, running already in western turkey, might see some more next day or so that was coming across cyprus towards the coast of syria and lebanon. they can see is forecast middle of cyprus, this is going to be a thunder. want the next 2 days. and then a brighter look for friday. and beyond that, if you look down doha, the cont, contrast here with settled weather once more that briefly got colder and cloudy, its nav final temperature slowly rising in a light wind next 3 days, which more or less represents most of the raping. so the few shall still potentially then south with the sadie west in yemen. and those few showers that come across iraq showing up with the radio mountains. there is temperatures in took most and a back up to where they should be the real cold air. even here has been warm back slowly. this is jumps south. i was, we do keep an eye what's just need your screen, their potential developing tropical depression or worse. it's generally drive the whole of africa, other big charleston india. congress fed moderating extra real guinea and for the
8:12 pm
south in angola, and it's the right time the year to get flash risk in south africa. already have many times that he's back in the forecast once more, fairly obviously. ah, in with after the acceleration and excitement all be cool to find all the remaining people now fight for late in the final as the competition in 10 to 5. what has been one of the most surprising woke up ever join us for action and analysis of the semi final product 2020 due on all does there. ah
8:13 pm
ah, hello again. the headlines on al jazeera, the u. s. as in sort of calling a major breakthrough nuclear fusion, the department of energy says it will lead to clean energy. i'm going to end to dependence on fossil fuels. ukraine's allies have pledged $2000000000.00 worth of aid to help us get through the winter is at phases of your energy crisis. president vulgar mercer lensky appealed for help during a donor conference in paris. tuesdays world cup action, we'll see of semi final showdown between argentina and crucial and match pits. 2 of the games, greatest players against each other. little messy and new cartridge. as many as 180 people have been killed by flooding and gunshots. so that's the capital of the democratic republic of congo, and a main road collapse during heavy rains on tuesday. 15000000 people live in the
8:14 pm
city on the congo river, and many homes are built in flood prone areas. it was president joe biden is attempting to counter growing chinese and russian influence in africa. he's invaded dozens of african leaders to washington d. c. for a 3 day summit. it's the biggest international gathering in the u. s. capital. since the start of the coven, 19 pandemic. biden is also expected to use the event 2 unknowns, us support for the african union, becoming a permanent member of the g. 20 or white house correspondent, kimberly hallett. how's more on the summits? we do know $49.00 leaders in total were invited among them. we know that kenya, zam b, i, d, r, c, nigeria, malawi, namibia, mozambique, ethiopia, so sudan among others are either having their leaders or representatives in attendance. but again, it's all about making sure that this is robust is possible,
8:15 pm
because the united states really keen on trying to get as much influence on the continent, given the fact that one of its main adversaries has already put a pretty big footprint that being china as well, as russia in terms of economic investment, the white house was really playing catch up, given the fact that you'll remember back in 2014 brock obama was saying that to, you know, this is something the united states was going to make a priority. then along came donald trump, who really backed off on all of that, so nothing's been done kind of in the interim. so this is an attempt to revive that pledge and that promise. but in the interim, china has done a lot. and so the white house is trying to not only reinvigorate in terms of these relationships, but they're going to do so by making a couple of big pledges. on earlier i spoke to the us national security council spokesman john kirby and i asked him what the united states was hoping to achieve by holding the summits. we really had orchestrated this agenda around what the
8:16 pm
african union told us was most important to african nations throughout the continent. whether that's climate, health care, energy, security, food security, investment and trade. all of these issues will be on the agenda over the next 3 years. we're really excited to get started on this, but it really is focused on what we have the input we've received from african nations about what matters to them. and in, in right at the top, we've announced that the we're, we're gonna commit the united states president biden, to $55000000000.00 worth of investment over the next 3 years. so we're also really putting our own emphasis in our own resources into trying to alleviate some of these challenges across the continent. why is this summer being held now when there's been a pretty much 8 year gap? but since the last summer that was held under former president barack obama in 2014, with little follow up in between. there has been an awful lot of engagement by this
8:17 pm
administration since the beginning since president riding took office with the nations throughout the continent. including in putting troops back into somalia to deal with the counter terrorism threat there. assisting with our partners in this a hell for the same purpose. the president stopped in egypt for the the climate summit that was a course on the continent and focus very much on continental climate issues. not to mention over the summer and signing up with the g 7 to this, a partnership for global investment and in initiatives. but all of that is designed to help countries throughout the. busy continent better deal with the challenges that they're facing from some unscrupulous trade practices from nations like china . right. but there is the fence that the african countries really did suffer under the, the former administration off. uh, president trump in the u. s. seems to be playing catch up now, since 2014. so how do you then restore that trust and credibility that perhaps has
8:18 pm
been lost over the past few years? here's the thing, but trust it. you can't serge it. you can't phone it in. you can't just promise it, you've got to deliver. and we have been delivering over the course of the 1st 2 years of this ministration. this summit actually comes with the wind at our back. it actually comes as a combination of a lot of efforts we've been doing throughout the continent, and what we hope is at the end of it to keep it going forward. as a matter of fact, the president has assigned a special representative johnny carson's to serve his whole function, will be to serve as an implementer of all the commitments that are made over the next 3 days. so that it will be an office, an individual who is designed, where we know other purpose than to make sure that going forward. we can continue to make this kind of progress south africa parliament has voted against adopting the findings of a report on president serum ho. so an independent panel concluded he may have violated his oath of office inquiry was launched off to run the post. it was
