[000:00:00;00] a part of the moral limit of going what do you guys think of the result of a keeping a nation's hopes alive. one last time you know massey's argentina is through to the world cup. final of the thrashing. karesha 3 nil ah. lauren taylor. this is al jazeera live from london,

also coming up using energy that power the stars to solve problems on us, scientific breakthrough that could transform our fight against climate change. anger and grief in the congolese capital kinshasa. my massive floods have destroyed roads and killed nearly 200 people. the u. s. rolled out the red carpet to leaders from across africa in an attempt to counter russian and chinese influence on the continent. hello, argentina. linelle massey is now just one when away from the title. it's eluded him . throughout his glittering career, the world cup croatia was simply no match for argentina in the semi final, at new sales stadium on tuesday losing 3 now. and it was messy who opened the scoring from a penalty spot. he also played a hand and the next to argentina will play the winner of wednesdays,

france morocco match, croatia will meet the loser in a playoff for 3rd. it's katie and richardson live at new sales stadium, an andy, a decisive victory for jan tina. there really was in this state, he was pretty much seen everything when it comes to hall container letter adventure, the well copy written cats are as a sale site in when they started off. so disaster see losing against saudi arabian or opening day that's been sold them recover in game against mexico. again that's hold on up and running. they sneak through here in the quarter finals in a penalty shaped out against the netherlands, but really now comprehensive dismantling criteria. whatever you want to witness tonight, i think for all the anxiety and the emotions surrounding a little messy, the shoots of his well kept cycle throughout the toner. he has been contributing massively as an individual. he got a team going to 9 from the penalties. and then really spent the sofa, one of his young see my julian alvarez,

the young man city strike. the 2nd go pretty incredible. pick up a little bit, his own off slalom these way through the christian defense via a series unfortunate ricocheted in c. pub scale. that made it to nail and then messy set him up for a 3rd. go in the 2nd half to to finish off the scoring. now mcroy show up. and so tonight's game, it really did seem so they were going out to lose no car matches of the world cup they call themselves to the final 4 years ago through a series of shoots out wins and extra time victories. a similar cofton had been emerging in capsule for once, that power recovery just about files and announce tonight little messy, actually equal yet other record, it was the appearance record of well cops equaling the 25 matches step. i learn to matthias of germany on sunday, back payroll or sale. he will break that record in the world cup final and do it. and thank you very much indeed.

ah, scientists and officials in the us of announced a major breakthrough in the quest to harness the energy that power the sun and stars, and use it to solve some of us biggest problems. it's all about a process called nuclear fusion and research as have been trying to figure out ways to make it commercially viable for decades. for the 1st time, research is at the livermore national laboratory in california and produced more energy in an experiment than was used to at night. it is proponent say that one day it could produce carbon free energy that's almost limitless, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and greatly helping the fight against climate change. but on to say, it'll still be a while before it leaps from a lab to our everyday lives. others have worn that it shouldn't slow down efforts to harness other alternative energy sources. i, solar power, wind, energy, and nuclear. fission is what the u. s. energy secretary had to say about the

breakthrough last week at the lawrence livermore national laboratory and california scientists at the national ignition facility achieve diffusion ignition. and that is creating more 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. i. this is colin baker explains what scientists are trying to do. 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 produce carbon emissions. it does need extreme conditions, very hot, very pressurized, and it's difficult to sustain. however, 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 talk mac, which looks like a donor, and uses powerful magnets to contain the reaction. another uses a modified canon 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. hundreds of sudanese protests as had been rallying against a recent deal end at ending the crisis caused by last year's military coup demonstrate as chanted know to the settlement as they marched towards the presidential palace in the capital cartoon. last week, military leaders and multiple civilian factions, signed a deal is the 1st component of a planned to phase political process. a critic say it falls short on specifics and timelines. and your forces found that while somalia hasn't yet full into famine, several parts of the country are in danger of it. in the coming months. as the horn of africa's experience is its worst drought in decades, a you and food insecurity reports has more than 8000000 people badly food insecure after 5 consecutive failed renew seasons in ports. as the most likely scenario,

we'll see more than 700000 people in famine between april and june next year. yes, president joe biden is attempting to counter growing chinese and russian influence in africa. he's invited dozens of african leaders to washington dc for a 3 day summit. is the biggest international gathering in the u. s. capital? since the start of the coven 19 pandemic, on is also expected to use the event to announce your support. the african union becoming a permanent member of the g 20 valium. my colleague during abigail spoke to us national security council spokesman john kirby. he says the u. s. is monitoring the influence of russia and china and region. the difference is that when the united states comes to the table, we don't just come with a dollar figure, although that we are and it's a significant one. it's coming with added commitment 55000000 over 3 years. it's not just a check that we're caching. it's going to be followed up to make sure that we're delivering on what we promise. and we're not asking nations throughout the african continent to choose between the united states and china,

or the united states and russia. they have to make these decisions for themselves. their sovereign states, we respect that i finance conference is really about their needs. mr. kirby, china already has direct state involvement in africa through loans and infrastructure projects, from ports to power stations, as are very well aware. so this might, must make it much harder for the u. s. to compete because china has effectively outpaced washington when it comes to africa. i think, you know, you talking to many of our african partners, they'll tell you that they have become fairly dissatisfied with all those chinese loans because they're start to come do. and it's actually impoverishing many states rather than enriching them rather than giving them a chance to look after their own prosperity. that's not the way the united states is approaching it, nor is it are the g 7. again, this, this partnership for global investment, that's going to be really an innovation that's going to really be about investing in their capabilities and in their future and allowing them to prosper from it.

that's the difference. on the national security front, how important is it to have these leaders in washington dc because the u. s. must see africa as it essential to its national security due to the presence of armed groups. like boca hot, i'm in west africa and shabba as well. there are certain, certainly there are no u. s. national security interests at stake throughout the continent as they are at stake throughout other parts of the world. latin america, the middle east, certainly europe, right now. we certainly have national security interests here, but so do they. so to these countries, and these are the kinds of concerns that they also want to bring to the table and talk about. and they will find in the united states, a willing partner, certainly a sympathetic ear and, and willingness to continue to help them address these challenges. she ever tunzia has more on the summit from washington dc. the biden ministration says it doesn't one, it's relationship with individual african nations to be about coercion or making

nations choose which in a relationship with the u. s. and the u. s's. adversaries to save up messages being treated with skepticism at the summit is an understatement. perhaps in part because even us by doing ministration, officials come here and they course give that message of that harmony. they can't seem to help themselves. they immediately warn about what they feel is the malign influence of other nations in africa. the u. s. president will be here on wednesday and thursday. it hasn't gone unnoticed that so far there have been no bilateral meetings planned between the president and his counterparts. in africa, however, were told by the administration, but substantially of little moments substandard little moments in inverted commas have been planned between the president as he tries to forge a close relationship with the different delegations here. can you say a 180 people have been killed by flooding and kinshasa, the capital of the democratic republic of congo?

i mean, landslides across the city, which is home to 15000000 people, and built on the banks of the congo river. and expand, has more the backbone of the democratic republic of congo highway system. the in one cut into heavy rains across the capital, kinshasa have submerged entire neighborhoods. it's being described as some of the worst flooding to ever hit the city. a landslide slammed into this home in the cities bins, a del vo districts, 9 members of the same family were killed, up delicately to lubbock, evaded against the number key. we went back to the house to sleep. since we were soaked and cold, we went back to bed and just after the war collapse and the children and the parents, then a neighbor was passing by it with an offender heart to bear. i have no strength to bury the dead bodies. poor regulation and reparative analyzation have made kinshasa increasingly vulnerable to flash floods,

which have become more frequent due to climate change. many homes have been poorly built on flood prone slopes, and the city suffers from inadequate drainage and search la quinta muscle morn and as i'm when i'm walk and i'm, i've been a widow since 2015. and now my house is gone with the rain and i can't find one of my children. i don't know where he is, and i'm a poor woman who is managing, but i don't know where to go. i've lost almost everything, even my car it's and i did the d i. c. 's prime minister and the provincial governor had been visiting flood, had areas around the city. they hoped to reopen the key in one highway and next 4 days. but until its repaired, the capitals main supply route is cut off. i would not sooner would my dead. every one passes in the traders. now he will suffer more entries of good. so even fuel will not be able to arrive in kinshasa. in 2019 dozens of people were killed and similar flooding across kinshasa and as heavy rains become more frequent,

many in the city of 15000000 left wondering when this will happen. once again, alex bid al jazeera still had elijah's era protest in peru turn deadly. at least 7 people are killed as demonstrations, demand a return of pedro castillo, pledging support for a nation in need. european leaders commit a $1000000000.00 to help heat and feed ukraine. ah, rather christmas markets opened early and to white ground. good part of europe is just an example in prague and check republicans odyssey snow on the ground. it's coming very early in the air came in very early in temperatures dropped very suddenly there about 10 degrees below average in most countries. and this is the area where it's just sitting,

which means all the incoming weather from anywhere else is being steep around it. that's where you get rate in significance now because within this cold pole and then you get a wind down and, or soon as you have is just generally going to be quite in code. now there is snow coming into scuffle. there's another line running in through france, germany check, republican and sudden pass a poland and there's more developing, i think as likely to be around the baltic states in this same line up through barrows. but you'll notice this poor little just stays cold and quiet. sometimes it's foggy after me for the south you on us as well, like to be the case. and he go further south again. snow on the mountains, only rain otherwise is more significant and coming into portugal in spain has been flooding. they will be more about line extends through italy to the coast creation, albania, greece and turkey has been studying before. and this might be more study. and i think the focus on 1st is going to be once again the science of france and northern italy.

a couple of minutes ago the judge has rejected and feels appealed to be free from jail. this was likely to happen. lauren, because on a wednesday when prosecutors decided to give his arrest a preliminary arrest, which is called here preliminary because he's not supposed to go to jail. but sometimes of prosecutors decide that that's what they have to do for the, for the accused. not to escape or flee from the country, and that's exactly what he was about to do. apparently, he was on his way to the mexican embassy to take a while and we are low. he is performer policy because the house has said, that's not right of press in the mexican president manuel, because i said publicly that to feel literally calls him and asked him for asylum.

so it was likely that the judge would say no to this appeal. in the meantime, the protest continue here in the country. there are road blocks and precedents. dina will walk the house, made a crisis, committee is formed this. so these ministers, the defense, and the interior ministers have been the 1st ones to go to different places. they've been to keep where the airport was taken last night. if they have gone to school and they're going to the wireless was the majority of the protests are ongoing and they are going to establish dial dialogue with forces. there was protest was there, but they have been very clear that the they must clear the roles because it commers improves been affected already or in a sanchez live in lima. thank you very much. don scotiabank has pleaded guilty to defrauding us banks and being and $2000000000.00. are there been

certainly thank you. in the operation of alameda really depended on based on the way it was operated for the use of customer funds. that that's the major breakdown here. funds from f t x dot com, which was the exchange for non us citizens. those funds were used at alameda to make investments and other disbursements. gabriel younger is following the case from new york. and it, there was a company there to just a year ago was pulling in about $33000000000.00. that was a worth of f t x. that would make it the world's 3rd biggest crypto trading firm. it was just massive, massive company with huge influence. not only here in the united states, but around the world. they would have celebrities that were part of it. they have the naming rights to stadiums, for example in miami,

florida where the n b a basketball team. the miami heat plays, for example, and it's founder the man behind it. a young member that 30 year old sam bakeman fried was a person behind it. all he really controlled this whole firm if you will. and the allegations are from, for the prosecutors that one of his other companies called the alameda is where, which was, which was a hedge fund, is where he would secretly move money out of f t x. and into alameda and use that money for his own personal gain. sam bagman freed has been giving a lot of media interviews before he was detained last night in the bahamas. and he said that while he took some responsibility for mismanaging the company, he said he did not know of any fraud that was taking place. but what's different about this is it is the crypto industry and a huge sum of money that we're involved, tens of billions of dollars. and the crypto industry is not regulated here in the

united states. and now there is talk by congress that they now need to change that given this. but clearly this is the focus on the crypto side of this and how this will play out in the future. the here at region, the western half canister is renowned for its traditional glass blowing. it dates back centuries and has long been a draw for tourists. but under the taliban regime, there are a few foreigners in afghanistan, just to glasgow companies left and her out. and according for government support, keep the industry going and hold on for one shot ahead. my name is glen sucky and i'm one of the glass blowers here in her out. i mean one that america one even in phil, i'm calling. i've been practicing for 40 years or the office here are unemployed. one of them has become a labor other in south has wheelbarrow are off now skilled, the vanishing. no one is paying attention to us. no one is saving us,

especially me. i am disabled. this form doesn't provide an income right now. we can't benefit from these skills because our country isn't safe. so tourists don't visit and place orders from us. previously, they were 5 kilns, but now they're only 2. we only turn one on if we have an order or someone asks estimate on the kiln is very expensive to operate. so we can't turn it on every day and work because we don't have any orders. we make things some glass that are left here. no one buys them. let me set it under the previous regime. it was better foreigners and tourists would come and buy from us. but now with the taliban, there are no foreigners here. we only turn on this kill every 2 to 3 months. as you know, the economic situation is not good and people worried many people and harass wonder why we buy glass to make decorations, when we could be buying other things for ourselves, like food and clothes. for this reason, the glass blowing industry is struggling and vanishing.
