petra castillo thanked his supporters and bowed to return to power wheel base. i want to say that i am unjustly and 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, nor will i abandon this popular cause that has brought me here. maria sanchez has more now from nima 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 to 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 that's not right. breast end of 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 precedent. deena will work 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, 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 roads because the commerce improve has been effected already. scientists in the u. s. have announced a major breakthrough in the quest to harness the energy to power the sun. for years, research have been trying to figure out ways to make a nuclear fusion commercially viable advocate. say if the technology is perfected, it could provide a limitless, clean energy calling back to explain 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 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 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. on december, 5th, 2022 at $1.00 oh, $3.00

a. m. humans for the 1st time created a star. it was a tiny one contained within a cylinder, smaller than a water bottle in 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 a very significant hurdles, 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, and what scientists call a potential milestone for humanity. heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. now core to the bahamas has denied bales the former s t x at chief executive at sam bank. min freed, he'd be kept in detention until february after they declared him a flight risk. he was arrested on monday and the bahamas and faces several fraud charges in the u. s. they include easing company funds as his personal piggyback. gabriel is on the reports from new york, global. he was the face of crypto currency. sam, bank men freed a 30 year old rising business star, who became so famous as he was known simply as s t f. viewing his start him was f t x, the wealthy crypto trading firm he founded. but last month that firm came crashing down. and on tuesday, what a federal court, new york, when he charged bank,

ah, without just here, a reminder of our main headlines now peruse, defense minister has declared a state of emergency on highways and called in the military to protect key infrastructure is to stop blockades, set up my protests as angry about the ousting of the former president. they want pedro castillo freed from jail. he's accused of an attempt to coo and was arrested last week. scientists in the u. s. have announced a major breakthrough in the quest to harness the energy that powers the sun. the 1st time research has produced more energy in the nuclear fusion experiment and was used to ignited the courts in the bahamas has denied bales. the former f t. x chief executive at summit bank and fried. he'll be kept in detention until february after being declared a flight risk. he was arrested on monday and the bahamas and faces multiple full

to be very concrete. roches, missile and drone attacks on energy facilities have damaged every 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 thought 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 van 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, oh, 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 talents, how da 0 key if voting is underway in fiji, in an election context between 2 former cool leaders as being seen as a test of the countries democracy. prime minister frank, many miramonte seized power in a 2006 qu, but has gone on to into elections. his rival city veney rab is

a former prime minister who there to cruise in 1087 as a strict media blackout in accordance with for g in election laws. with him at one of our categories at the h t scholar in politics and international relations at the university of adelaide, he says the biggest issue for vote is, is a soaring cost of living. it is now the 3rd election cycle since 2013 constitution. and what is at stake is whether they still want ah, 4 more years of the previous 8 under, uh, frank ben mariama. so the, well, what is thank you here is whether they, they, they want him to continue again, or they want something they want to change. there are several issues, but i'll, i'll, a point out for one is definitely the storing cost of living. the issue that was the war in the ukraine has had an impact on but before the, the, the, the, the war in the ukraine are fiji was already going through

a drama difficulties. and it hasn't hoped of having gone through the pandemic. another issue is to re deteriorating infrastructure. i'm looking around our as aging infrastructure um and the lack of service delivery or the government has struggled with that. i'm also up a question is the bungled a coven? 19 response. and also the issue with the university of south pacific, where there has been political interference and fiji always the university are $80000000.00 for fijian dollars. and this has an impact on of the university as a, as a regional tush education. us president joe biden is signed into law protections for same sex marriage. it's been a right since a landlocked supreme court decision in 2015. but the new law provides safeguards if the now conservative leave in court with versus the ruling includes legalizing same

here. all right, sorry, still a bit of luck to get past almost single handedly in the middle of the 2nd half message that his role is that you providing the 5th at the school again. bessie, the creator of peter, made it renewal end for you. hope it is august, dina, who are through to the 6. well, come by. nobody will get a chance to redeem themselves for they find a lot in 2014 when they're 1st well come to the matter. don't feed back in north united states delight for messy and his teammates will be back at the stadium on sunday, before the box and simeon founds have been cheering on that team at this. well, come with them at the same stadium is our own audi, richardson. this stadium is pretty much seen everything when it comes. that's all your pain or rather their adventure the well, aaron cats are here. i'm going to sail sighting when they voted on the list to get saudi arabian wrote me that filled them recovering game against mexico. again,

the total up and running, they sneak through here in the quarter finals, independent count against the netherlands, but really now a comprehensive monthly criteria. whatever you want witness tonight, i think rule the night in the emotions surrounding the shoots of his well kept cycle throughout the tournament. he has to be contributing massively as an individual. he got that going from the penalties and then really one of his young team, my judy and alvarez, enjoy the 2nd goal pretty incredible, picked up all along the way through the creation defense series. unfortunate ricocheted and see pub scale. that made it to nail. and i meant to set him up for go. i'm in the 2nd half to just finish off the scoring show. well, up until tonight's game, it really didn't see me going out to lose not much into the well company company spelled for the final 4 years ago. through a series a shootout, when that extra time victory, a similar process had been emerging and saw once that power was different coverage

just about tonight. little mentally actually yes. and other record it with the appearance record of well come calling the 25 matching step. i like to germinate on sunday back there are the sale. he will break that record in the welcome final or let's get more on the semi follow with one of our gallon home. i guess i want everyone talking about the similarities with messy ad mero, donna, to tina losing that 1st batch of 990 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 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 it alone 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 openly kick. not knowing, 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 and boxing at times, but once they considered the penalty, then we started to see it. 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 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 hadn't just or which way 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 they actually needed most spats of the game i could guys, thank you very much as ever are great stuff. so who will face out? and tina in the final will 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. well, let's be honest, pretty impressive. so far 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 a means they have a lot of quality of, certainly off the pitch in terms the cohesion and team spirit. they will be formidable opponents. 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 stars has been de goalkeeper yes. in bo, newer 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 dine,

is unstoppable. why? and to ready to step into yessenia, bruno spoofs, you know, the goalkeeper is the heart of the gym. when you have this mentality of winning, when you dont cheer the, the opponent, then you will play euro your best, which was, 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 racing. 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. see 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. never a huge back ground. and they have made me more that ammunition than the other because they want to push their country in the, in the top and to, to write history. go, go, you know, they 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 frans 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 nicholas hunk, 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, this is out is here, and these are the top stories now peruse, defense minister has declared a state of emergency on highways and cold in the military to protect keion to structure is to stop blockades, set up, my protest is angry about the ousting of the former president, they want petro castillo freed from jail. he's accused of an attempted coup, was arrested last week at the court hearing on tuesday, pedro castillo,

thank to support isn't valid to attend to power base. i want to say that i am.
