and also meaning a team now fight for late in the final as the competition intensified is what have been one of the most surprising woke up ever doing this for action and analysis of the semi final product 2022 on all does there ah thousands gather and when a sorry to celebrate argentina, booking that place in the cutoff of 2022. well cut one ah, i'm have seeking, this is a line from the also coming up. the scientific breakthrough in the us, the could transform our fight against climate change. devastation in the congolese capital,

massive floods have destroyed rows and killed nearly 200 people. the u. s. rolls out the red carpet for african leaders as they tried to count the chinese and russian influence and the continents argentina's. leno massey is now just one when away from the title that has eluded him throughout his glittering career. the well cup croatia was no match for argentina and his semi final at the lou sales stadium on tuesday losing 3 new. and it was messy. who opened the scoring from the penalties for argentina will play the winner of wednesdays, france morocco match that i suppose would support. is that a viewing party in the argentinian capital? when a size, i say you can bid with anything

that country building right now with the way they get with get that you do that in the rear being compared with them. but i know, well, people here like a, you know, i didn't really, i, you can see what people here are feeling right now the way they're gonna bring with me i

read with the political when i write data. but if there is the one thing that united country they've been now healthy and so. 7 everyone here celebrating they want the national in the world. they want next week doing the world go. teresa bow there in amongst the victorious arch and find fans. now scientists in the u. s . have been asked a major breakthrough in the quest to harness energy. the powers, the sun and stars for years, researches have been trying to figure out ways to make nuclear fusion commercially viable advocate. say if the technology is perfected, it could provide limitless, clean energy audio. castro has more now from washington. on december, 5th, 2022 at one o 3 a m. humans for the 1st time created a star. it was a tiny one contained within a cylinder, smaller than a water bottle and only burned for a 100 trillions of

a 2nd. but the achievement by scientists at the u. s. government funded national ignition facility at the livermore laboratory in california was indeed astronomical . 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. technically what the scientists did was achieve nuclear fusion ignition they trained 192 of the world's biggest and most powerful lasers housed within a complex the size of 2 football fields at a pebble sized capsule of hydrogen fuel. it's a fusion fuel state hot enough dense enough and round enough for long enough that it ignited and it produced more energy than the lasers had deposited. this blip of

a star made only enough energy to light up a 60 watt light bulb for about 7 hours. the scientists say this was proof of what's possible about one century ago is when humans figured out, fusion is what powers of the sun. then about 60 years ago, a group of very ambitious scientists said, hey, let's try to replicate that fusion within a lab. well after many fits and starts, they were finally successful. and now the next ambitious goal endorsed by the u. s . department of energy is to scale up from that one successful experiment into a technology that could power electric plant. there are very significant hurtles, not just in the science, but in technology. this is one igniting capsule. one time. and to realize commercial fusion energy, you have to do many things. you have to be able to produce many, many fusion ignition events per minute. and you have to have

a robust system of drivers to enable that. it will take several decades to advance the laser technology to that level, but elsewhere, including in massachusetts and the u. k. separate efforts using magnetic fields to achieve nuclear ignition are closer to commercial development. president biden wants to see that happen within 10 years. without a doubt, it will be a monumental undertaking. however, the potential benefits are enormous. clean carbon free abundance. the liable energy capable of meeting the world's energy demands more immediately the fusion development will help the u. s. maintain it's nuclear weapons without testing explosions. according to government, scientists, the implications are many and cause for both concern and hope in what scientists call a potential milestone for humanity. heidi jo,

castro al jazeera washington. oh, colon baker. explain so now in a bit more detail how nuclear fusion 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 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 took a mac, which looks like a donor, and use as 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. at least a 180 people have been killed in flooding in kinshasa, the capital of democratic republic of congo. they've been land slides across the city of 15000000 destroying homes and roads. alex sped, 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 country against the number lucky 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 it with an offender heart to bear it, i have no strength to bury the dead bodies. poor regulation and reparative annis 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 search law bab appointments all morning. them when i'm open 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 tired son, i did. the diocese 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. oh goodness no, no, my dad. 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 in 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 beard al jazeera, a us president, jo bryden, is trying to take on the growing chinese and russian influence in africa. he's

invited dozens of african leaders to washington for a 3 day summit. is the biggest international gathering in the u. s. capital since the start of the code, 900 pandemic buttons also expected to use the event to announce us support for the african union becoming a permanent member of the g 20. early in my colleague, the renal hater, spoke to the us national security council spokesman john kirby. he says the u. s. is concerned about 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 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 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 they are very well aware. so this might, must make it much harder for the us to compete because china has effectively paste washington when it comes to africa. i think, you know, 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 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 is essential to its national security due to the presence of farm groups . like boca hot, i'm in west africa and, 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 willingness to continue to help them address these challenges . all right, still ahead on al jazeera, the former head of crypto currency from f t. x denied bale in the bahamas. as the u . s. falls a long list of criminal charges against him, and a court in peru rejects an appeal by the ousted president and his detention

ah, anticipation is rising. and so is the atmosphere. a you read me with spoke to my cattle aways. the station winter's coming really suddenly, really harshly the temperature's got 10 degrees below no of most of china, but 5 degrees below in hong kong, where the cold winds accompanied by cloud and rain, the rain in the north of taiwanese record breaking for the year. we won't even beat the station record if it keeps reading like this. but snows robin or obvious and particularly for japan, this is snow shall develop because the cold air comes over the open water hits the western slopes of all the mountains in homes, you and hawkeye, and keeps falling snow. the avalanche risk is increasingly higher result of this group keeps going for another 2 days behind it. the sun is the main thing, but it's still, as already mentioned, said cold we drop south and find out where the ne monsoon tends to fade out.

intense, generate big shouts here too. for singapore, while lumper and sumatra look particularly wet for southern philippines also, particularly otherwise it's wet season anyway. and this rain is unusually finals. imagine us even good. you're right. what came in as a tropical cycle in china? a few days ago we're look what's happening on the other side of it. the wind gap in the indian ocean. we might find the chopped co, cyclic. it's not obvious, it will do that yet, but it is a little a little odd and certainly i just season the weather sponsored by catch all the way the ma ma prizing is then peter movement takes place in kenya. counting up a gas, the british demanding return of their lives, nearly declassified documents showing a light on prisons colonial past. there is systematic torture of reign of terror in these count major human rights abuse. how was this happening?

a very british way of to which i do want to donate to deny on al jazeera. mm. mm ah ha. again, you're watching. i just need a reminder of our top stories. scientists in the u. s. have announced a major breakthrough in the quest. the harness energy, the powers, the sun on stars for the 1st time, or such as producing more energy in a nuclear fusion experiment than what you're used to ignite at the well comp croatia was no match for argentina in the semi final, at least sales stadium losing 3 new lino massey who opened the scoring from the penalties. we also played a hand in the next 2 goals. all

right, with his round up then of that spectacular semi final wind for argentina at the loose sail stadium roll. pathic is in our caught our waterfront studio with more. we have our 1st katara 2022 finalists argentina, the south american side, east pass code ship the book fair tickets to the well. comp show pace were large and tina awarded a penalty in the 34 minutes when julian alvarez was brought down. little messy going from the spot or the cake got back to laura with 11. what was the man responsible for doubling for a minute later? the credit here. all right, sorry, still a bit of luck to get passed all by single handedly in the middle of the 2nd half message, his rolling back and providing the 5th score again. bessie,

the creator, tina made it reno end. alright, you post. it is argentina who are through to the 6. well come final they will get better chance to redeem themselves for the final lot in 2014. when i woke up the matter don't feed back in north united states so delight for matthew and his teammate. that will be back at the stadium on sunday before the continued sounds have been cheering on that team. this well, come with them at the style stadium is around audi, richardson. this stadium is pretty much seen everything. when it comes us all in favor of their adventure. the wealth payment, sorry here i'm a sales lady and when they started off after the losing a get saudi arabian wrote me about them recovering game against mexico and get it pulled up and running. they sneak through here in the quarter finals and she's not against the netherlands, but really now a comprehensive monthly criteria. what everyone's witness tonight,

i think for all the emotions surrounding little met, shoots, of as well throughout the community has to be contributing massively, an individual legal team going tonight from the penalties. and then really that's one of the young c, my julian alvarez, young man, strong, 2nd goal. pretty incredible. think of all of his own all along the way through the creation defense series. unfortunate ricocheted and pub scale. that made it to nail . and then set him up for the goal in the 2nd half to just finish off, scoring may not show up until tonight's game. it really didn't seem so they were going to lose not much into the well cars. they got the final more years ago through a series a shootout. when that extra time victory, a similar process has been emerging and once power was different, coverage just about now and i little mentally actually yes, that other record, it was the appearance recorded. welcome calling. the 25 matches that i liked him,

germany on sunday, back here in the sale. he will break that record in the welcome final or let's go more on the semi follow with one of our gallon show. hallmark usa hall, everyone talking about the similarities with messy ad merit, donna tina losing that special $990.00 before going on to lose the final can messy go one better. absolutely. messy can. i mean if you want to start comparing the 1990 to the 22 side to 22 sides. much stronger. messy is 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 long coming about donna's and and 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 penalty kick. not knowing remember that that the hardest

part 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 wasn't 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 books here at times. but once they considered the penalty, then we started to see a very timid cro 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. they out played croatia tonight and they'll be, you know, celebrating that victory for at least the next 24 hours would be guaranteed a great celebration or great sort of atmosphere not stayed on sunday with the continuum fact cuz 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 happens just at which

we are yet to establish whatever mens 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 actually needed more spats of the game i could guys, thank you very much as ever are great stuff. so who will face argentina in the fight or that will be decided on wednesday when morocco meet france, 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, car france of course, lucky to retain their well title, the writing champions have him, but let's be honest, pretty impressive so far and they be england in the quarter finals. yep. address, ha ha. as renewal, there's 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, a 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 amazing. 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 starz has been a goalkeeper yet in boner. and he's inspiring young players to follow. in his footsteps, nicholas hoc went to meet some of them in his hometown of casablanca. ah, in casablanca, as old medina, 17 year old, sad b to don, is unstoppable. why and ready to step into your scene. bluenose, you know, the goalkeeper is the heart of the gym. when you have this mentality of winning,

when you don't cheer the, the opponent, then you will play euro your best, which was, you know, which one is not the morocco. goalkeeper has not 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, milwaukee 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 are vic? wow. the atlas lines have beaten some of the best teams in the world to make it to the semi finals. 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 under pleasant, a huge my ground and they have made me more that termination than the other because they want to push their country in the, in the top and to, to write this. me go, you know, they chance this is what the moroccan coach has as 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 defense and they hope that the goalkeeper yes. in bono of the national team will be able to stop frans on its tracks and push morocco forward in this world cup. the goalkeeper is no longer the unsung hero of the team . he is the one who saves the game. the last man standing too often overlooked the

fax to bono, not any more liquid, smoke al jazeera, casablanca sar, camerac our cause one more upset and made argentina in the farther. we'll find out later on wednesday. and our team will have it all covered right here on our 0. ah, and our court in the bahamas has denied bail to the for my f. t x chief executive sam bank. my freed, you'll be kept in detention until february after they declared him a flight risk management fried was arrested on monday in the bahamas and faces several 4 charges in the us. they include using company funds as his personal piggy bank. gabriel elizondo reports from new york yet is a global. he was the face of crypto currency. sam bank min fried a 30 year old rising business star,

who became so famous. so he was known simply as s p f. viewing his start, him was f t x, the wealthy crypto trading firm he founded the last month that firm came crashing down. and on tuesday, federal court, new york, when he charged bank, min fried with 8 counts including fraud and money laundering. hours after more charges were filed from the securities and exchange commission. he prayed on his customers. the victims of this case, abusing the trust, placed not only in his company, but in himself as the lead of that company. on monday he was arrested in the bahamas where he'd been living, he's expected to be extradited to the us. just weeks earlier, f t x filed for bankruptcy with millions of his customers, unable to access their money extra as a place where millions of people invested in crypto currency from bitcoin to a theory and we're still going call f t t at his speak just last year f t x is

worth more than $32000000000.00 making. it's a world's a 3rd largest crypto exchange. but bakeman freed also owned another company, alameda research, a trading hedge fund. it's alleged that he secretly funneled money from f t x to help prop up alameda and also support his lavish lifestyle. even in the notoriously volatile crypto currency industry, experts say f t x is fall is remarkable. one is the sheer size that we're talking about potentially upwards of $10000000000.00 worth of client assets that were lost . next is the brand and reputation of f t x. because this is a company that had really gone out of its way to make an impression, among mainstream audiences, with things like celebrity endorsements and stadium naming rights. those celebrity

endorsement even included in advertisement during the superbowl. it featured the actor comedian, larry david. i don't think so. i'm turns out he was right to be skeptical. gabriel, the sancho al jazeera, new york. a court in france has jailed 8 people for their roles in the attack in the southern city of niece, in 201686 people were killed and hundreds injured when a trust flow through the crowds. celebrating frances national holiday, in fact, was late acclaimed by isolate the 3 highest profile defenders received sentences between 12 and 18 years for helping the man who drove the truck. it was shot dead by police at the scene. a court in peru has rejected an appeal by our state president pedro castillo to end his detention. he is accused of an attempted coup and was impeached and arrested last week. at least 7 people, including teenagers, have been killed in protest. they're refusing to accept the new president. deena

bought a watson, she's announced plans for elections 2 years early at the court hearing on tuesday, pedro castillo, thank his supporters and vowed to return to power base. i want to say that i am unjustly an arbitrarily detained. i am not a thief, a ripest corrupt or a slug. but i would also like to address the country to tell them that i am totally grateful for their trust and their effort and their struggle and their support. i will never give up. no one i abandon this popular cause that has brought me here. ah. it's been a roundabout top stories now on croatia was no match for argentina and the work up semi final sales stadium on tuesday losing 3 now. and it was, mino, mfc, open scoring from the penalties book. we also played a hand.
