anger and grief in the congolese capital kinshasa where massive floods have destroyed rhodes and killed at least a 120 people on the u. s. roles at the red carpet, to leaders from across africa, in the attempt to counter russian and chinese influence on the continent. ah. and it origin tina's linelle messy is now just one went away from the title. it's eluded him throughout his glittering career. the world cup croatia is simply no match for argentina and the semi final at new sales stadium on tuesday. it asked 3 know, and it was massey who opened the scoring from the penalty spot argentina will play the winner of wednesdays, france morocco match as get more in today's world cup action from our team into ha, ah,

we have our 1st catch 2022 finalists argentina, the south american side, east pass code ship the book fair tickets to the world comp showpiece will argentine awarded a penalty in the 4 minutes when julian alvarez was brought down. little messy goring from the spot. i got back to tough with laura with 11 would as it was a man responsible for w a for a minute later. the credit bureaus like a sorry skill, a bit of love to get past. almost single handedly in the middle of the 2nd half message on his role in providing the 5th at the school again into bessie, the creator of tina, made it reno and alright. you hope it is august, dina, who are through to the 6. welcome final,

they will get that chance to redeem themselves for the final last in 2014. when i 1st woke up to the matter, don't seem back in north united states, so delightful mfc and his teammate. that'll be back to the stadium on sunday, before the continuum sounds have been cheering on, they tell you that this well come with them at the style stadium is our own audi. richardson, the stadium is pretty much seen everything when it comes to a container of their adventure, the well co pay rent casarez here. i'm a sales site in when they started off, so disastrous, losing against saudi arabian, or opening day. that about seldom recover in game 2 against mexico. again, that's hold on and off and running. they sneak through here in the quarter finals and a penalty shaped out against the netherlands, but really now comprehensive dismantling criteria is what everyone's witness tonight. i think for all the anxiety and the emotions surrounding a little messy, this shoots, if this will title throughout the children, he has been contributing massively as an individual, he got

a team going tonight from the penalty school. and then really set this up for one of his young c, my julian alvarez, the young man sitting strike. the 2nd goal, pretty incredible. pickup all up in his own hall slalom these way through the crisis defense gloria series, unfortunate ricochet since the pub scaled, made it to nail. and then messy. set him up for a 3rd. go in the 2nd half to to finish off the scoring for croyt show up. and so tonight's game, it really did seem so that we're 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 winds and extra time victories a similar cost and has been emerging past. so for once, that policy recovery just about files and announce tonight natal maxine actually equal. yes. that other record, it was the payroll record, well cops equaling the 25 matches step while are to matthias of germany on sunday, back here the sale, he will break that record in the welcome final or less,

get more on the semi follow with one of our gallon homa han, everyone talking about similarities with messy ad mero, donna, to tina, losing their special $990.00 before going to lose the final can messy go one better . absolutely messy can. i mean if you want to start comparing the 199222 side to 22 sides. much stronger. messy healthy. married on his ankle look like get a golf ball sticking out of it in. and he still was able to play that world cup despite it a stronger loan coming about donna than den messy is now. yeah. but a lot more injured that, that, that, that, that is, that is another thing to, to point out. but this site looks stronger this site looks like it's in better form than that. argentina site that struggled, that had to go through to personally kick. not knowing really remember that that harvest heart stopping, shoot out against yugoslavia as well, or better done a mrs. append leak as well. so again, you start seeing similarities, but you also see

a lot of differences in terms of form in terms of how these 2 teams got there. yeah, i show this was the best version of christ that we saw tonight. that was it, not really when the game started, you felt like, you know, it was pound for pound in boxes at times, but once they considered the penalty, then we started to see a very timid crow us aside. and then the virus goal, just kind of, you know, sealed it for them. we thought they'll come back in the 2nd half and sort of maybe pull one back and then get back into the game. but i didn't know they were absolutely incredible. the out played croatia tonight and they'll be celebrating that victory for at least the next 24 hours would be guaranteed a great celebration, a great sort of saving not stayed on sunday with the continuum because i've been great at this tournament and just to have yeah, absolutely, i mean when you look at how they, you know, help the team and just get them going, they keep doing this hadn't just which way yet to establish whatever men's but yeah, i mean, it's incredible to just see them enjoy themselves and distort them and, and give you know, i didn't tina so much energy that they actually needed most spats of the game. i

could go thank you very much as ever a great stuff. so who will face out and tina in the final will that will be decided on wednesday when morocco meet falls, the moroccans already beaten some big teams here in cat are they knocked out spain and that is taught to call as well as beating belgium in the group stages morocco's progress to the semi finals making them the 1st african side to reach the last 4 at a fee for well cut france of course looking to retain their well title, the writing champions have him. well, let's be honest, pretty impressive. so far they beat england in the quarter finals. yep. address ha, as from the rule, there is no luck at this level. if a team can be belgian and eliminate spain and portugal, it means they have a lot of quality of, certainly off the pitch in terms the cohesion and team spirit. they will be formidable opponent. and me as a, as a little boy, i could have never, ever dreamt of something like this. and i know every single player wants to play

every does not want. what will play and well doesn't want to play football. and of course, sit in on the bench is not my thing. but if you see what we have created as a team, you can see that no one really cares. as long as long as the job is done at the end of the day. or the morocco stars has been de goalkeeper, yas, in boner. and he's inspiring young players to follow. in his footsteps nicholas hawk went to meet some of them in his hometown of casablanca. ah, in casablanca, as old medina, 17 year old, sad b to dine is unstoppable. why? and to ready to step into yes. in buddhist you know, the goalkeeper is the heart of the gym. when you have this mentality of winning, when you dont cheer the the up and and then you will play your your best football. you know which one is not the morocco goalkeeper has notched up

a record number of saves and conceded only one golden cutter. nick named spider man bono seems to have woven in unpalatable web between the post. he grew up in a popular neighbourhood of casablanca, america, voltaire's waste of it's a miracle we used to play he on the streets, and now he's playing against macy ronald. are all these players we could only dream of playing with and video games, those who of wow, the atlas lines have beaten some of the best teams in the world to make it to the semi findings. millions of people around the world celebrated the success of this arab team from africa, playing in a world cup stage for the 1st time in the middle east. the difference between nations are now getting, you know, small and smaller. let's take the case of morocco, the place i'm planning, the biggest team in the word. so yes, the shark is morocco, monday pleasant. now have a huge back ground,

and they have made me more determination than the other because they want to push their country in the, in the top and to, to write history. i go with a chance. this is what the moroccan coach has asked. supporters to do, they know i want to become strikers or forwards. they want to become goal capers. this is what morocco's strength is, its defense and they hope that the goalkeeper, yes, seeing bono of the national team will be able to stop frowns on its tracks. and push morocco forward in this world cup the goal keeper is no longer the unsung hero of the team. he is the one who saves the game. the last man standing too often overlooked with thanks to bono, not any more. now. nicholas hunk al jazeera casa blanca.

sorry carol car coles. one more upset, a meat argentina in the fall formed out in about 24 hours time and our team will have it all covered right here on our da 0. scientists and officials in the u. s. have announced a major breakthrough in the quest to harness the energy that powers the song and stars and use it to so some of us biggest problems is all about a process called nuclear fusion. and researchers 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. have produced more energy in an experiment than was used to ignite it. it's proponent, say that one day it could produce common free energy that's almost limitless, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and greatly helping the fight against climate change. but scientists say it'll still be a while before it leaps from a lab but to our everyday lives. others have one that it shouldn't slow down

efforts to harness other alternative energy sources like 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 out there 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, a mac, which looks like a donut, and use as 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. to le, had an al jazeera protests in peru turn deadly. at least 7 people are killed. as ousted president andrew castillo is ordered to remain in detention cross for centuries, old tradition in western afghanistan. that's now struggling to stay in business. ah. but now the residence of melbourne or visitors might be a bit disappointed by what is supposed to be incoming summer because the air keeps

coming from the south. 15 degrees, his 10 degrees when it should be tinted below. this should be this time the and his cold enough for the air to turn into snow showers of the victorian now now it is slowly improving but on thursday you still got the eastern side of victoria with that cold when melbourne itself. spite the sunshine, about 16 degrees, ho butts. about 14, the warmth is the hair fell off in new south wales in queens and the troughing perth, wherein the high twenty's, although thirties and the want is they are using it. but it's accompanied by quite a few shares you bringing air from the, nor that tends to be what happens. so rather overcast, disappointing at that. you might say, despite the warmth, have you showers are going to be repeated in the south in the philippines. and once again, northern sumatra bonded che, for example, flash flooding seems quite like is result of that or a big a shower, the se jaren's sumatra. otherwise this is the wet season. you might expect it. but winter's re tucked in east asia as well. it's cold,

but colden it should be for the most part but snow. it's result of that air coming across the open water for hong shoud, hawk harder. the avalanche risk is high. ah . the african narratives from african perspectives. it v as nobody ever taking him. and usually the shoot documentaries, by african filmmakers from south africa and gonna the children i important because that's where the future life i live. this place is very important because it's comics as to the past. the last speaker in studio of archives africa direct on al jazeera lou ah,

ah, one of the top stories here now to 0. argentina's linelle messy is now just one when away from the title. it's eluded him throughout his glittering career. the world cup creation was simply no match. roger tina in the semi final let me sail stadium on tuesday, losing 3 mill. the u. s. has announced what it's calling a major breakthrough in nuclear fusion department of energy. so scientists carried out an experiment using the technology, producing more energy than it consumed fusion to seen as a potential clean power source. that could revenue addition eyes, the energy sector, least a 120 people have been killed by flooding in kinshasa, the capital of the democratic republic of congo. every landslides across the city, which is home to 15000000 people, and built on the banks of the congo river. alex bad 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 anti 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, district, 9 members of the same family were killed, up delicately to lubbock, evaded against the number like you. 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 who was passing by figure that i found a hard to bear. i have no chance to bury the dead bodies. poor regulation and reparative and zation 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 syringe law appointment more than

one on both. 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 cards, and i see that the prime minister and the provincial governor had been visiting fled areas around the city. they hoped to reopen the key in one highway and next 4 days. but until its reappeared, the capital, the main supply route is cut off. nothing much. everyone passes in the trade and now we will suffer more entries of goods. so even the fuel will not be able to arrive in kinshasa. in 2019 dozens of people were killed and similar flooding across kinshasa, and is heavy rains become more frequent. many in the city of 15000000 left wondering when this will happen. once again, alex bid al jazeera. yes,

president joe biden is attempting to counter growing chinese and russian influence in africa is invited. dozens of africa needed to washington d. c. for a 3 day summit. the biggest international gathering in the u. s. capital. since the start of the code 19 pandemic biden is also expected to use event turnouts. us support for the african union becoming a permanent member of the g 20. earlier my colleague, very navigate us, but to us national security council spokesman don kirby. he says the us is monitoring the influence of russia and china in the 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, 55000000000 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 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 and mr. kirby china already has direct state involvement in africa through loans and infrastructure projects, from ports to power stations, as you're 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 that 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 the g 7. again, this, this partnership for global investment that's going to be really and 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. what so do they? so do 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 a willingness to continue to help them. address these challenges. a judge has ordered, ousted peruvian president pedro castillo to remain in custody. denying his appeal as authorities build a rebellion case against him. and the 7 people, including 3 teenagers, had been killed as violent protest,

continued the new president, deena banality as fail to quell escalating demonstrations. andrew castillo was accused of an attempted coup impeached and arrested last week. while you are to says she'll seek to hold elections 2 years early. marianna sanchez has more from lima 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 be for the, for the accused, not to escape and 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 fly alone, and we are a low he performer policy because the house has said, that's not right of breast in the mexican president manuel. because

i said publicly that i feel literally called 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 precedent. deena will walk the house, made a crisis committee is farmed this. so these ministers, the defense and the 2 ministers have been the 1st ones to go to different places. they've been to, to keep where the airport was taken last night. if they have gone to cool 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 roads because the commerce improve has been effected. already. ukraine's allies have pledged a $1000000000.00 in aid to help the country get through the winter. as russian

thermal power plant in ukraine. millions of people have just a handful of hours of electricity each day fixing this is a priority. that guy did, there is a vote with how supplies could cost around 800000000 years. it's a lot, but the price is significantly less than the cost of the blackout for us in ukraine . and there is in total, more than $1000000000.00 in aid was pledged $400000000.00 for energy. the rest for water, food, health, and transport. ukrainians are understandably proud of the way they've defended themselves against russia's invasion. but they know that without help from friends and allies, their position would be much, much weaker. external assistance is one of the main contingencies of this war. it's a lifeline for the ukrainians, and they know they have to keep it flowing. for example, and the faster the better says timothy miller vaughan of. but the former economic development minister and president for the key of school of economics insists

ukraine will keep fighting, regardless with only generators in the spring wing them. now, we don't need solar panels or next fall. we need them in the spring. ah, but the even was out that i think that's a mistake. a lot of people are say, we're making, they think are the decisions are made. her may be in moscow or in b gene or in washington. the decisions are made on the ground. we have the people here who want to be free and they're willing to die for it with or without support of the world. he can see thankfully for ukrainians. support continues to flow, rory challenz, how da 0 key if thousands of protest as of march through the greek cities of athens and as low nikki, after a room, a teenager who was shot in the head by police last week, died in hospital. some demonstrators had thrown fire bombs and flash grenades that police fired back with tear gas and water cannon. a 16 year old was shot during a police chase for an entry they tried to escape from paying petrol. bill is
