please call inspired program making. welcome to generation change unrivalled broadcasting. white people did not want black children in their schools. we have quite forecasted and al jazeera english proud recipient of the new york festivals broadcaster of the year award for the 6 year running ah, explosions hit central parts of the ukrainian capital as russian forces continue to destroy energy facilities. ah, hello there, i'm associate a and this is al da 0 live from doha. also coming up. wow. through expands it state of emergency to deal with growing protests. after former president pedro castillo was ousted and detained. to form

a coolie does go head to head in fiji election and what seen as a test of its democracy and into the final leno. messy inspires argentina, pos, croatia to book their place in the cost of 2022. well cut fine. ah, now the merit here, it says the cities air defenses of shut down multiple russian drones, officials say to administrative buildings have been damaged. russia has destroyed much of ukraine's energy facilities, causing rolling blackouts as winter sets in there. well that's now bringing or a challenge you joins me live from the ukrainian capital, rory, it sounds like it's been quite the morning over that. yeah, began at about $530.00 local time. when the a rated laws went off. now i have to say i was asleep for that didn't wake up,

but i did wake up absolutely half an hour later when a huge explosion rocked at the center of give what that seems to have been was one of these iranian may, drones dash showerheads are being shot out of the sky by air defense and coming down in a central area. not very far from where i'm standing at the moment, damaging a building as it came down and exploded. now luckily there are no reported injuries . and the destruction, although relatively major for that particular building, it wasn't the intended target, and there doesn't seem to have been much wider destruction. it was though one of many, many drones that have been launched at a key of at to day. at least 10 have been shot down 3 different waves, but b s for thankfully, for people in this city. they seem to have escaped the large scale destruction that has been inflicted on them in previous waves of drone missile strikes this time,

or in it all of this. we're also talking temperatures below freezing and kin. how is everyone holding up over there with the power shortages in well, this is a situation the people in the country have been enduring for considerable time. and this, the energy situation is stabilizing somewhat. it's been least a week since the last major rounds are of air ray of air attacks that are actually damaged the energy infrastructure. and in that time the engineers be working to get the power back on line stabilize the system. there is still a huge deficit in the energy grid, so the country needs much more energy that it can naturally produce at the moment. every thermal power plant in this country has sustain some sort of damage. so you can see the need. the ukraine has been calling for its been asking for generators

for transformers for back up, so the backups to the backups and for money to do the repair work said anessa necessary, and of course it's been calling for improved air defense systems. there is the sense that there is an announcement coming from the united states about the patriot system, a fairly old, but very capable air defense platform that the ukrainians been asking for. for some time. the census of that announcement is imminent. it won't be a panacea or pack patriot as good as shooting down cruise missiles. it's good at shooting down ballistic missiles. not necessarily the right platform for shooting drones out to the sky. but this is the thing about our defense. we need tiered systems. he needs a wide spread of different types of platform to target different types of threats or a challenge there with all the latest for us, from the granting here. thanks so much for re now moving on and peruse. government has expanded a state of emergency there,

as protests continue to spread across the country, protested on demanding that former president pedro castillo, be released from jail. he is accused of an attempted coo and was arrested last week . at least 7 people now including teenagers, have been killed in the unrest. marianna sanchez reports from lima ha violent protests continued. miss quito didn't move in to me. in and the witness in explosive went off wounding at least 15 police officers in lima. 5000 police have been deployed to contain the protests. will you say they've been authorized to use rubber pellets? it is defense minister says the armed forces will take control of key infrastructure like airports, highways. i related plants in light of protests. 8, so the regions are now in a state of emergency receipt in dina when we're depleted with demonstrators to stop

the violence we'll yeah, we'll after. yeah. when i left. bassett, i calling you to ask the social bases to come down the violin week. peruvians don't deserve these deaths. the situation of gales peruvian, do not disturb it. on one of the has formed a crisis committee, the defense and interior ministers have been tasked to whole talks with demonstrators. but many protesters say they've stopped them tweedy and to former president. to do this to you is free and well, you know, we want freedom for president castillo, not mrs. blue, that she has done the presidency. that number me out for now, gusty york will remain under arrest. a judge denied his appeal to be freed. the support forfeited august the or has gone beyond. fiddles, borders, the left wing presidents of mexico, argentina columbia. believe you have said that he is a victim of harassment and he was legitimately elected for foreign ministry. has

responded, scene castillo was ousted for attempting to de. so congress illegal. now these protesters once custody of freed calling for general elections know, proceed in the work that has committed to bring them forward to 2024. for now, she's bleeding for. com. i'd be in the front to so just see that would be too well argentina's lino messy is now just a one went away from the title that's eluded him throughout his career croatia, when no match valentina in the welcome semi final losing 3 now and it was missing you opened the scoring from the penalty spot, and then just 5 minutes later, leon alba has made a stunning run from the center circle. and then with a bit of good fortune scored his fast of 2 goals of the nice out there, his sports corresponded andy richardson was there following the match at blue sales stadium. this stadium has pretty much seen it all when it comes to hard container

and that well cover venture head and cancel the, the sale, state myrtle stuff you talked about before them against out here id with faith, where they recovered the victory against mexico in the next game and where they states pass the netherlands bar, a penalty shoots out in the quarter finals, and now this comprehensive dismantling of croatia in the semi finals. i think for all the anxiety and the emotion surrounding legal, messy to be remembered. he has been contributing massively as an individual, the garage and seen it going and mismatch jessica, when the penalties spoke, to might be one nail many handed over to a young strike female alien. however, as the young man city strike a go to stunning individual golf and number 2 messy that set him up in the 2nd half a number 3 caraway shut up until this match is seen as a mexico announcer lose. not got my cheese at a well cup. they reached the finals 4 years ago, a series of penalty shootouts and extra time victories. and a similar passing was emerging carrying counselor once that parents in recovery

filed them now little messy equaled. yes, another record. this matches and i that have large on a terrace reco to well cups. 25 matches. messy will break that record back here with the sale stating home sunday when he is in the world cup final. while meanwhile, corporation fans or the per ordered their teens while cup run, despite losing to argentina on tuesday. and i'm hoping for a 3rd place finish at 2022. correct. i have surprised the football wilds with their successes in the past 2 well kept tournaments. now. why do you want to not only, of course, a few sad, but in any case, i'm proud of our guys and i'm glad that they made it to the stage. it is enormous success, and i hope that no one saturday will when the 3rd police bod i've worked on here somehow or 2. i am disappointed, but there is still the match for 3rd place and i hope we will win in 4 years. some new guys will come, i hope we'll achieve a good result. again, we're all proud of them because few expected that we would reach me finals at all.

oh, job it, we will win 3rd place in the next match. i'm telling you. but whether we 1st, 2nd, 3rd or last creation will always be face my homeland well, argentina will play the winner of wednesdays, france morocco match. the last semi final showdown will kick off at 19 g m t at the update stadium, stella head here on out there for look at the crisis unfolding on the afghan border as around the courts. children looking for why and so $3.00 and $3.00 is our new zealand plans to stop future generations from buying tobacco. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with the sports at all anyways.

hello, there has been very wet across southern parts of europe and there's more heavy rain to come. now we've already seen flooding in lisbon in portugal. we could see more of that. that's as one system moves away east across the mediterranean. we've got another one coming in behind that bringing very heavy rain. so portugal and spain during the mid week, no farther north of this. it is looking rather wintry. we've got red warnings out for southern parts of germany. we are expecting the snow to fall heaviest. here we will see that snow as well. it trickle down into the alps for the north west. we've got yellow warnings out for snow and ice for parts of britain and island that snow falling in scotland. it is much dryer further south, so some wintry sunshine coming in, but it remains rather cold temperatures in london and paris well below the average . and we're gonna see attempt just drop down across much of scandinavia as that wintry weather pushes its way towards the north east. minus 12 degrees in stockholm, sweden by thursday, for the south of this is gonna be some improvement coming in for the se that's

after that nasty weather sweeps its way further. east. a temperature recovery in athens 22 degrees celsius. but for the likes of the central mediterranean, some very heavy rain to come to where the update for the with sponsored by catch all day with our new series follows football is from 6 countries hoping to make it to catch our 2022. at some point that i had to choose between football and my studies, this episode meets 3 young men from morocco, striving to make their childhood dreams come true. my, you know, my capabilities and they know where i want to reach the world cup, dream. morocco on al jazeera lou. ah

ah, hello daniel watching al jazeera. i'm this darcy. hey, in durham. let's remind you about top stories. ukrainian, the ukranian president says kids ed offences of shut down that teen russian drug. destroyed much of your energy facilities. rolling blackouts, as winter crews government has extended a state of emergency, as protests spread across the country. both the federal castillo once released from jail. he's accused of an attempt to crew and was arrested last week. and origin gina and a book to their places well kept final with a crushing victory of croatia. morgan nation were no match for the south americans and the semi final on tuesday. losing fiji is prime minister has promised to respect the results of the general election. there as

a vote counting gets under way the contest between 2 former crew leaders as being seen as a test of the countries democracy. prime minister, frank binding marana seized power in 2006, but has gone on to when to elections his rivals. even a booker is a former prime minister himself, who led to 2 crews in 1987 william long vodka tongue guy is a ph. d scholar and politics and international relations at the university of adelaide. he says, the biggest issue for voters this time is the 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 a 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 a definitely the storing cost of living. the issue that was wore in the ukraine has

had an impact on but up before the, the, the, the war in the ukraine. 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, 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 the hell has been political interference and fiji always the university are $80000000.00 for fijian dollars. and this are has an impact on of the university as a, as a regional tish education. the united nation says iran is stepping up deportations of afghan children who have left their homes to find whack hundreds are dropped off

at the board and harass in western afghanistan every month. the di economic situation is pushing even more to leave as stephanie decker reports. many of these afghans have been through really tough times. large number of miners among those returning from iran, mugosa who circle marsh among the children. the registered re dos are from ages 10 to 17. sometimes we get children aged to 8 or 9 as well, but not too many, helena and other well, they left their homes in afghanistan to find work across the border. some had been to portrait because they don't have permits, and others simply decided to come back. oh, wow, horse another only a 100 years ago. everyone has their own problems, so i can't tell them not to go to iran. maybe they're desperate to go there. if someone is not desperate, they wouldn't set foot in iran. when you go this way, you have your own blood on your hands. there are lots of obstacles, possibly even death. i all knowledge. oh yes,

the kid don't on my message to the young people is that they should not go abroad illegally because it's tough and they can even die. laura phillips, my message is to them is to stay in their country allan was, i should study and work hard here to help build the country. and my request from the taliban is to create conditions for people to work and provide employment for young people. so they can stay here but conditions in afghanistan are pushing more and more people to search for a better life abroad since the taliban to power last year. foreign funds have dried up and it's become increasingly difficult to make ends meet. according to the un, the number of minors leaving afghanistan has almost doubled compared to last year. and i think this is an indication of the severity of this or to as i mean for child support in such a situation to make a decision to live the school and to cross over 3 around together, jovan feels afford the family if that's a very good description what the deal is situation of grandmaa's son is like and this is not just one guess all the cases that are children crossing because of the

gutted roman situation. they will be given medical checkups and psychological counseling. and then they will head back to their families across afghanistan, hoping to find a way to survive. nothing here has improved since they left stephanie decker al jazeera. now mexico has shut down a large migrant camp. in the southern state of waka, the camp was used by thousands of migrants to obtain transit documents the united states. the move comes just days before an end to restrictions set by u. s. federal judge that expelled asylum seekers crossing the border. i'll police and protest as in greece have fought after aroma teen shot by police last week. died and hospital. ah, hundreds of people marched in the boy's home city of the salon, nikki, as more group theory, molotov cocktails at police, through then responded with tear gas. how denmark's answering prime minister has

agreed on new coalition government following november's general election met. frederickson said that an agreement has been reached now after $42.00 days of talks . the send to lead coalition will include her social democrats, the liberal party, and the newly created moderate party. now, at least a 180 people have been killed and flooding in kinshasa, the capital of democratic republic of congo. there have been landslides across the city of 15000000 people destroying homes and roads. the president has blamed climate change for the disaster. alex bad has been 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, district, 9 members of the same family were killed up at delicately to la mcguckie,

very tightly 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, and then a neighbor who was passing by, visited with an offender, hard to bear. i have no strength to bury the dead bodies. poor regulation and reparative in isolation have made can shatter, 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 storage a lot by, by point level more. nathan, one on both. and i'm, i've been a window since 2015 and now my house is gone with the rain. i can't find one of my children. i don't know where he is in. 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, had areas around the city. they hoped to reopen the key in one highway and next 4

days. but until its reappeared, the capital main supply route is cut off. nothing much. everyone passes in the trade and now we will suffer more entries of goods. so even fuel will not be able to arrive. in contrast, 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 lives wondering when this will happen. once again, alex bid al jazeera while the united states is trying to take on growing chinese and russian influence in africa. president joe biden invited dozens of african leaders to washington dc for 3 day summit there. it's the biggest international gathering in the u. s. capital since the start of the code, the 1900 pandemic button is also expected to use the event announce american support for the african union becoming

a permanent member of the g. 20 or meanwhile, us present biden is also signed into law protections for same sex marriage. it's been a right since a landmark supreme court decision in 2015 for this new law provides safeguards if the now conservative leaning court reverses the ruling includes legalizing same sex unions and protecting interracial marriages. the supreme court, you recall overtime a ruling on abortion in june young dana go to hate his love this law. and the law of defense strike a blow against hate in all its forms. and that's why this law matters to every single american. no matter who you are or who you love the shouldn't be about conservative or liberal rhetoric. boom. scientists in the us of announced a major breakthrough in the quest to harness clean energy fears. now, research as have been trying to make a nuclear fusion. commercially viable advocates say that if the technology is

mastered, it could provide an unlimited supply of clean power. hydro caster has more now from washington d. c. 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, and only burned for a 100. it 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 to 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. and what scientists call a potential milestone for humanity. heidi joe castro al jazeera washington. oh, of course. and the bahamas has denied bail to the founder of collapsed crypto currency exchange f t x. some bank who fried will remain behind balls until february, as he's been declared a flight risk. he was arrested on monday and faces several full charges in the us. gabriel, the thunder reports now from new york 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 that he was known simply as s p f. viewing his start, him was f t x,

the wealthy crypto trading firm he founded that last month that firm came crashing down. and on tuesday, when he federal court, new york, when he charged bank, been 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 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, this fall is remarkable. one is the sheer size of it 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 an advertisement during the superbowl. it featured the actor comedian,

larry david. i don't think so. turns out he was right to be skeptical. gabriel sancho al jazeera, new york new zealand is imposing a lifetime tobacco ban on future generations. a new set of laws will make it illegal to sell tobacco products and cigarettes to anyone born after 2008. that means the number of people able to buy tobacco will shrink every year in new zealand. smoking rate is already as a historic hello and the legislation is designed to cut the number of retailers able to sell to back by 90 percent in 3 years. there is no good reason to allow a product to be sold, that kills half the people that use it. and i can tell you that we will end this in the future as we pass this legislation. this bow will create generational change and it will leave a legacy of be the house for our youth. it will reduce hospitalizations and reduce

the burden of smoking related illness. it will save thousands of lives and billions for the future health system. ah, hello, this is al jazeera and these are the headlines. ukrainian president brought him his lens. he says, keep the air defenses have shut down. 13 russian drones. russia has destroyed much of ukraine's energy facility is causing rolling blackouts as winter sets in there. the attacks come as ukraine's allies pitched a $1000000000.00 an aid during a donor conference in paris on tuesday, where we challenged has more now from the ukrainian capital speed. an unpleasant wake up. cool. so the key of this morning, about 3 and a half hours ago, the air raid sirens came on now often best i didn't hear those. what i did here was half an hour later, an enormous explosion that.
