ah, this year, as we celebrate 75 years of the declaration standing up for our wives, we have the chance to go clean and, and all right. ah, explosions had central parts of the ukrainian capital as russian forces continue to destroy energy facilities. ah, hello, there, i'm saucy. attain this is al jazeera life from door. ha, also coming up. ah, peru expands it, state of emergency to deal with growing protests of to former president,

pedro castillo is ousted and detained. to form a truly does go head to head in fiji is election and what seen as a test of its democracy and into the final they know messy and spies, auntie and past croatia took their place in the cattle 2022. well, i know the cranium, presidents has caves, air defenses have shot down that teen russian drones. official say to administrative buildings have been damaged. russia has destroyed much of ukraine's energy facility is causing rolling blackouts there as winter sets in. well, let's now speak to worry challenge. he joins me live from the ukrainian capital war . it's obviously been quite the morning there with all those expressions, but i see zalinski says they think they got them all yeah, i mean the people of the city of been through this on so many occasions over the

last few months, there is a degree of familiarity to it now, but still a very unpleasant morning for this city, particularly for the people who live in the residential buildings around where i am standing at the moment. the air, a law went off at 5 30 in the morning, a local time, half an hour after that a huge explosion reverberated around the city skyline. and you can see the results of it behind me at the moment. now, thankfully, that building is an administrative building on a residential one. and thankfully, that destruction you see there is actually pretty minimal. the results of a drawing being shot down and coming, crashing onto the roof of the building rather than actually hitting its target. and exploiting that is something that i think the government here and guardians, in general, will be very thankful for 13 drones launched here today. 13 of them shot down

that's a 100 percent success rates for ad offense. the drugs, as we understood, come from the south and flu low, the denita river to avoid radar. so you don't really get to see them until until they basically toward their targets, but still 100 success, right for, for shooting them down. that's a reason to be cheerful. on this morning and if a very tele morning it seems or is he found there in the snow? we're talking temperatures below freezing. how is everyone there holding up with all the power shortages? well like every thermal power plant in this country has been damaged in recent weeks, either by joint strikes or by cruise missile strikes, the country is running at a significant energy deficit needs much more energy than those damage. power plants can produced in their depleted state. yes, the engineers have been working round the clock for weeks to try and get them back

online whenever they get damaged. but you still have the situation where there are either emergency power cuts or scheduled power cuts. so people are surviving on maybe 3 hours electricity a day for as electricity a day. that takes its toll after a while, but thickly in the middle of winter, you know, it is cold here, it's minus 5 today at the moment. so people are shivering and on the heated apartments. they're in dark flats. yeah, they can't do the cooking properly. have to use a gas stove at hospitals are affected. if you've got a generator, then you're lucky, but most people died. so it's a, it's a bad situation. for people, but i have to say it doesn't seem to be done to morale significantly. people are realizing that this is something they're going to have to put up with if they're going to get through this windsor. of course, the government is asking for help from the outside world. there was $1000000000.00 of aid pledged yesterday in paris from international donors. much of that is going to be going towards helping get the energy grid back up and running again. other

parts of it are going to be going for water infrastructure for transportation, for health care, that sort of thing. and of course, ukraine is demanding asking for better ad offense. yes, they shot these drones down on this day. but who knows whether they'll have the same success, right, but more drones or more cruise missiles come along on future days. and they've already challenged on the ground for us into you. thanks so much for now. peruse government has expanded a state of emergency there, as protests continued to spread across the country. demonstrate as are demanding that former president pedro castillo, be released from jail. he's accused of an attempted crew and was arrested last week . at least 7 people now including teenagers, have been killed in the unrest. arianna sanchez reports from lima ha violent protests continued is quito didn't more, did it again to me. in the witness in explosive window, 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 low in the state of emergency receipt in dina, when we're depleted with demonstrators to stop, the violence will yell at the young man's basket. i calling you to ask the social bases to come down the violin week. peruvians don't deserve these deaths. the situation of gale's peruvians do not deserve 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 don't stop them tweedy and to former president, didn't christie is free and well, you know,

we want freedom for president castillo, not missus blurt that she has done at the presidency. that number for now castillo will remain under arrest. a judge denied his appeal to be freed, the support forfeited, ogazio has gone beyond fiddles, borders, the left wing precedence of mexico argentina columbia. believe you have said that he is a victim of harassment and he was legitimately elected o foreign ministry has responded seen castillo without it for attempting to de. so congress in these protesters, one custody of freed calling for general elections. know, proceed in been what? because committed to bring the food to 20. 24. for now. she's bleeding for. com. i'd be in front to suggest eda university argentina lino messy is now just one went away from the title that saluted him

throughout his career. croatia were no match for argentina and while kept semi final losing free nail. and it was messy who opened the scoring from the penalty spot. and then just 5 minutes later, julio alvarez made a stunning run from the center circle. then with a bit of good fortune scored his fast of 2 goes of the night out, there is a sports correspondent and you richardson bazaar following the match forest after sal stadium. this stadium has pretty much seen it all when it comes to hard container and that well covered venture here in categories, sale, stating where it will start talking about before them against saudi arabia, with that fate where they recovered the victory against mexico in the next game. and where they sneak past the netherlands bar penalty shoots out in the quarter finals. and now this comprehensive dismantling of croatia in the semi finals. i think for all the anxiety in the emotion surrounding lena massey is to be remembered. he has been contributing massively as an individual, the garage and seen it going and mismatch just going from the penalties box to my

one nail. then he handed over to a young strike. female julian, however, as the young man city strike a sort of stunning individual gulf and number 2. messy then set him up in the 2nd half a number 3. as for croatia, up until this match is seen as a med for going out to lose not count matches at a well up. they reached the finals 4 years ago, a series of penalty shootouts and extra time victories. and a similar passing was emerging, carrying out. so once that parents of recovery failed, now little messy, equal yet another record. this matches and i thought of large on a parish reco to well cups. 25 matches. messy will break that record back here with the sales stadium on sunday when he is in the world cup final out there as to where he is. a bowman while was with supporters and when is aries? i feel like a

forget that you go to the rear being compared with other well people here i like a, you know, a, you can see what people here are feeling right now to where they're gonna bring. what to tell me. what kind of, what the national tv country, i mean i

didn't read with the political when i write about if there is the one thing that united that a. 7 everyone here celebrated, they won the national in the world. they want to do in the world. hello. well creation fans meanwhile have applauded their team's world cup run despite losing to argentina on tuesday. and then now hoping for a 3rd place finish, cast out 2020 to croatia, have surprised the football wilds with their successes and the last world cup tournament to of course a few sad, but in any case i'm proud of all 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 please bought a vote on your summer book to i'm disappointed, but there is still the match for 3rd place and i hope we will win in 4 years some new guys will come and hope will achieve a good result. again, we're all proud of them because few expected that we would reach the semi finals at

all that 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 faced, my homeland. well, it's go ahead here on out as it will tell you what french fans of moroccan descent think about wednesday is semi final showdown. snow creek 3 is how new zealand plans to stop future generations from buying tobacco. ah hello, that will have a look of strayer, in a moment. the 1st to south, east asian is more heavy, rain to come. when all the areas of the philippines, you can see the shower clouds rushing across more sensual areas and thunderstorms and showers as well for borneo heavier as well for western areas of indonesia and

the malay peninsula. but. 6 the north for indo china a much try a picture. we'll see the temperature in bangkok at 30 degrees on friday. the usual rush of showers and sunshine spreading towards the east as we had down under 2 australia, some of that range fricking across northern areas. but it remains very hot, picture can seeing is 35 degrees celsius on thursday, dry as well for much of western australia. a few scattered showers. further in land . the west of the weather can be found to the southeast that thanks to a low pressure system, then that's going to bring some really dangerous surf to new south wales. without warnings out. he has some wet weather as well for pots. victoria and tasmania temperatures dipped down, but we are expecting them to recover slightly by the time we get into friday, but a lot cooler for that southeast corner. that was a move to new zealand. that's not the case missing. a lot of warmth come through, particularly for cities like a christ church is pretty wet for many areas. you can see that rain rolling down further south by friday.

ah, african narratives for african perspectives is a mix. i use use of short documentaries, by african filmmakers from south africa and gonna the children are important because that's where the future life i live. the space is very important because it makes us to the post. the last speaker in studio archives africa, direct on al jazeera lu. the me

watching all to 0. i'm sorry. that's your mind you about up stories. you canyon president says keeps defenses of shut down. 13 russian drones. russia has destroyed much of ukraine's energy facility is causing rolling blackouts. when the previous government has expanded a state of emergency as protest, spread across the country, borders and petro castillo, want him released from jail. he's accused of an attempted crew and was arrested last week. and origin tina book their place in the world cup final with a crushing victory over corporation. the balkan nation when no match from the south . americans in the semi final on tuesday losing re now france and morocco play on wednesday. it's the 1st time that an african team has made it to the semi final of a wild cup, and in order only facing the reigning champions, but also the former colonial power france. natasha butler is with french moroccans and paris munoz for soil. yours on you. there's no question which

t mina is supporting. she wears her morocco shirt with pride in her organic grocery shop in paris. born in france to moroccan parents, she says she'd love to see morocco when the well cut for the 1st time, but she'll support france if they go through that they will, they keep all these out a true symbolic teams for us that we represent the front in our friendship of our country's, our heart a divided between the 2. we can't separate one from the other. minnes aunt says she feels the same. i would be happy the federal court when, but in is friends swings. i will be happy also. you know, because it's room to my lover, my 2 lovers, friends, and maria are the best thing in my life. when morocco made it to the semi finals last saturday, there was celebrations in paris. news at france were also through added to the excitement, the dream, semi final for many,

nearly 70 years off to the end of french colonial rule in the north african countries over. there also ties between france and morocco on the page. some of morocco players were born in france and one of france's players is of moroccan heritage. and there were friendships best friends and p. s. d, teammates, french strike, killing him, pappy and morocco defender ash rough. i came me of caught up in tow hall and wished each other luck. tomorrow yan owns a furniture store in the city. a few years ago his brother met visiting sedan. the french, algerian football, inspired many young french people of north african origin. sophie and says morocco success and katha is nurturing the dreams of a new generation woman. his bus, what's happening is magnificent. it's not just because we are more, it's the enthusiasm across the world in africa,

in all the arab countries. everyone is supporting morocco, like sophia and mino. we'll watch the semi final with her family. sure. the weather frauds or morocco when victory will be at their fingertips. this is natasha butler . i'll just sarah paris. now fiji is prime minister. has promised to respect to the result of the general election them as the vote counting gets under way. the contest between 2 foreman tree leaders is being seen as a test of the country of democracy. prime minister, frank binding, marana seized power and 2006 that has since gone on to and to elections is rival city of any. rebecca is himself a former prime minister who led to cruise in 1987 william young of a. her tongue is a ph. d scholar and politics and international relations at the university of adelaide. he says the biggest issue for vs is the storing cost of living. it is now the 3rd election cycle since 2013 constitution. and what is at stake is whether they still want are 4 more years of the previous 8 under our frank ben mariama.

so the, well, what is take 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 war in the ukraine. fiji was already going through our economic difficulties and it hasn't hoped of having gone through the pandemic. another issue is to re deteriorating infrastructure. i'm looking around. oh, there's aging infrastructure. um and the lack of service delivery, or do the government has struggled with that? i'm also up. or 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 are has an impact on of the university as a, as a regional tisha education. oh, let's take here to some breaking is now a major rescue operation is currently under way of the u. k. coast. to save dozens of people on board a small boat. they're said to be of the south east coast in the cold waters and the english channel and to 50 migrants are thought to be on that boat. french rescue services are also said to be taking part in that operation will be bringing more on that as we get moving on now. and course in the bahamas has denied bail to the founder of collapsed crypto currency exchange. f t. x sound bagman freed will remain behind balls until february as he's been declared a flight risk. he was arrested on monday and faces several 4 charges in the u. s. gabriel is under report from you. 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. but last month that firm came crashing down. and on tuesday was 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, 50 extra as a place where millions of people invested in crypto currency from bitcoin to

a theory and we're going called f t t at is speak just last year f t x is worth more than $32000000000.00, making it the 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. his fall is remarkable. one of 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 freshman, among mainstream audiences,

with things like celebrity endorsements and stadium naming right? 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 or mexico has shut down a large migrant camp in the southern state of war. hacker and the camp was used by thousands of migrants to obtain transit documents the united states. the move comes just days before an end to restriction and set by u. s. federal judge that expelled asylum seekers crossing the border. police and protest as in greece of fort after aroma teen who has shot my police last week night and hospital the hundreds of people marched in the boy's home city as long as you and small group through molotov cocktails. a police who then responded with tear gas at least

a 180 people have been killed in flooding in kinshasa, the capital of democratic republic of congo. there been land slides 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 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, then a neighbor who was passing by vigor to visit, i found

a hot bed. i have no strength to bury the dead bodies. poor regulation and reparative in isolation 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 storage overlap 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 card and i see that the prime minister and the provincial governor have been visiting fled, had areas around the city. they hoped to reopen the key in one highway in the 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 and can shop. 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, all scientists in the united states have announced a major breakthrough in the quest to harness teen energy. fears research has been trying to make nuclear fusion commercially available. advocate say if the technology is mastered, it could provide an unlimited supply of cane power. hydrogen custer has more from washington d. c. 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. 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 fusion fuel stayed 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 joe castro al jazeera washington for

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 any one born after 2008. and that means the number of people able to buy tobacco will shrink every year. new zealand smoking rate is already as a historic low. the legislation is designed to cut the number of retail is able to sell tobacco by 90 percent and 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 better health for our youth. it will reduce hospitalizations and reduce the burden of smoking related illness. it will save thousands of lives and billions for.
