9:00 pm
writes with each of us this year, as we celebrate 75 years of the declaration standing up for our wives. we have the chance to know clean and then the old. why ah, this is al jazeera, ah hello, i'm emily angland. this is the news. our live from doha, coming up in the next 60 minutes drama, off the english coast. $43.00 migrants a brought to safety after their boat cap sizes, but at least 4 others have dives the hopes of africa riding with them. morocco gear up for their big semi final showdown with france. the mayor of east amble,
9:01 pm
a key opposition figure, is sentenced to prism and banned from politics for insulting public officials and explosions across central cave. russian forces show no mercy in their campaign to destroy ukraine's power grid. ah, we begin this news hour of the coast of england where 43 migrants attempting to cross the channel had been rescued from a cold waters. their boat capsized in the channel, at least for others, a confirmed dead. 30 of those rescued were plucked from the water. the international organization for migration estimates, 205 migrants have been recorded as missing in the channel since 2014 the capsizing of the migrant boat was addressed to in the u. k. parliament during the prime ministers questions. he is what wishes snack had to say?
9:02 pm
mister speaker, i'm sure the whole house who share my sorrow at the cap sizing of a small boat in the channel in the early hours of this morning. and the tragic loss of human life, our hearts go out to all those affected in our tribute to those involved in the extensive rescue operation. and anti simmons has more from diver where rescue bites were deployed. conditions were absolutely terrible of the temperature of the water, the biggest problem, sub 0 temperatures. there is a cold snap in the u. k. and france right now. very cold indeed, but the people traffickers, find some of these conditions are deal to apply that right? because they were calm waters overnight, but early on wednesday morning, at this shit, this boat got into difficulties and well, they've seen over here before this life boat station and over the body bags went out, returned with 4 bodies. and of course, they brought more
9:03 pm
a survivors the dead. and that is quite a remarkable situation because 30 of others, my groups actually went in to the water. so they were recovered very quickly and not just by the rescue teams, but also by fishermen. in fact, the fishermen were 1st on the sea. and so what you have now is yet another tragedy in what is a mounting problem for the french, but particularly the british, because a french and able to stop the people traffickers from letting these people get on, boats pay their money and then go across, risking their lives, this isn't the 1st. it certainly would be the last for more analysis. let's bring in jane graham show in hastings in the u. k. she is the co founder of hastings support refugees. shame, thanks so much for being on the program. your organization is focused on the issue of refugees making dangerous crossings to the okay, what, what do you know about today's incident?
9:04 pm
yeah. well we see a year ago here and a half ago we 2nd beach response unit that would specifically deal with small boats that are being brought in to hastings here. so our response group goes down and off it's humanitarian aid to them. so through that we have a network people all the way along the coast that we work with and we have kind of information exchange. and then this morning we woke up to our phones, pinging radio this morning, knowing that the lifeboats had launched from dungeon s over ram and hastings. so we knew it's a major incident. everybody was kind of price to the worst. ready? yeah, it's been very tough day. yeah. i can, i can hear the emotion in your voice there. jane. we are focusing on this particular boy, but this is a much broader problem, isn't it?
9:05 pm
yeah, it's a big, big problem. you know, there's a lot of rhetoric in the u. k. about how the french aren't doing enough to stop the boats leaving phones. but i think it's really important for us to remember what the bait she said. these guys are launching from like this. see the be she's had the d day landings during the 2nd mobile. you can literally hide an army on the b 2. so how you can prevent the crossings from happening from that is quite isn't complete conundrum and i'm not sure that it could ever be done. we have a lot from our government about how it has to be stopped and how that you know, a priority that might come, but it has to stop. but there is a way of doing that and the government are refusing to discuss it. you know, we are not offering any kind of safe passage to people who want to seek refuge within the u. k. or were legal rich basically being closed down. the only way you
9:06 pm
can claim asylum in the u. k. is by being on you case or so you, the only way to do that is to make these dangerous crossings. we could, i cannot says passage, we could change that, and that would choke off the people smokers, instantaneously. so that to you is, is this solution, is that what's missing from this conversation? not difficult, and it would be cheaper and more effective and we wouldn't lose like, it would be humane and people would be able to retain that dignity. well, we really appreciate your insights and what is a hot breaking issue? jane grimshaw in hastings there. the co founder of hosting support refugees. thank you for your time. the morocco speed to become the 1st african side to get a world cup fine, and will begin in less than an hour's time right here in cut time. alright, let's take some live pictures now from outside l. a bait stadium where we can see

9:16 pm
some of the biggest superstars in the world, like them very, and agrees, man and the and many others. how, whether they say that this time in the hunger and the desire among the layers of the american national team is what is likely to make a difference tonight. they're hoping they would like to see the dream continue, and they just say, you know what, it could be one of those moments when tonight, after 2 hours of the hour from now, malcolm could be in the vinyl. either way, where i instilled for a fabulous man. thank you very much. hashim at how barbara in rabbit morocco. and we've got much more coming up in about 15 minutes time in our special world cap coverage. we have the rattle pathic survey stay with us for that. moving on to other world news now and us president joe bought and will shortly address african late is gathered in washington d. c. chinese and russian influence on the african continent is coming out of focus
9:17 pm
at the 3 day long talks. it's the biggest international gathering in the us capital since the start of the coven 19 pandemic. let's cross to our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett, who's standing by for us. kimberly, what can we expect? president biden to say in a few moments time. yeah, that's 32 expected. within the hour i can hear the helicopter circling over top, which means the president is on the move. so we are watching and waiting to hear from president biden as he addresses those 49 representatives from africa. what we know that the president is likely to make the case is that the united states is the partner of choice, was the white house is really concerned about the influence that china as well as russia has been able to make in recent years, particularly under the previous administration of donald trump and they're
9:18 pm
concerned that there's been a lot of for an indirect investment and that the united states is now trying to play catch up. so what we expect the president to make in terms of the argument is a really 2 things. the 1st is, he's going to say that the united states is prepared to make an investment in the next 3 years of about $55000000000.00 over 3 different sectors, health care security, as well as economic growth. we haven't had really any specifics and where there might be sort of targeted projects just that these are the areas that the united states wants to focus on. the other big push, the president says, is that there will be the united states throwing support behind the african union bid to become a permanent member of the g 20. but beyond that, what we know that the president is doing it, all of this is really damage control because the previous administration under donald trump, you some rather salty language to describe african countries and that did not sit
9:19 pm
well with african leaders. so there's some repairing that needs to be done in these relationships. and so well the speech is just part of it. we know there's outreach going on the sidelines of these meetings. we also know that there is going to be a sit down here at the white house following the speech, and then a formal dinner later on were representatives from all of the 49 invite. these will be taking place again, a lot of work to be done and one more commitment that is being made as well is that we know that there is going to be. 7 travel to the continent of africa and it's not just going to be the president in 2023, but all the way down to cabinet secretaries as well as the white house continues to really put a focus and lens on africa in the coming months and years or i can believe thank you very much, and no doubt we will cross back to you when we hear from joe by to thank you very much to take here now. and the court has
9:20 pm
sentence examples made to 2 years and 7 months in prison, for insulting public officials. it has imposed a political ban on a chrome, him all knew that could lead to his removal from office. he's seen as a k opponent of turkish president rachel type. early one sent him because he has more from assembled emma modal one a stumble mayor's seat a couple of years ago. and at that time, the difference between de governments candidate and him was around a less than $100000.00 votes about the government insisted. and the higher electoral board decided for a re run of the elections, which came up with 8 more than $800000.00 votes. that brought assemble mayor's a seat. so at that time we heard a, crummy mo, mo lou calling the higher electoral anecdotal, board members as it is. and this is the reason why the case was open against him.
9:21 pm
but however, today, no one was expecting a verdict, and many people who even are against a crime in mom or lou were not expecting the sentence. so according to the situation, and the court is a go, it will need to issue a written averting, which is the final judgement or a justified judgement in a week. and then add the defense. a criminal law has the right to reject this decision. and then as the case goes to the court of appeals, a ron's been kicked out of the united nations equality and empowerment body. the resolution was brought forward by the united states. it follows the crackdown on protest as in iran following the death of a young woman at masa and meaning. let's bring in our diplomatic editor james bay's, who's at the united nations. james, tell us a little bit more about the result of this voice. and what does it mean going forward while this was an initiative by the united states and the u.
9:22 pm
s. ambassador linda thomas greenfield act, she got her team, her diplomatic team to draw up this resolution to expel iran from the commission on the status of women. now that's the main body in the u. n. a that promotes women's rights that protects women around the world. she said that after what we've seen in iran since those protests started in september that they were a stain on the credibility of this body. so she put forward a resolution that iran should be kicked off the commission or on the status of women. ah, it went to a vote, an electronic vote, $54.00 countries. who are the members of the economic and social council of the un? we're the ones that were able to vote, certainly it went to the way the u. s. wanted, in terms of the overall vote, because there were 29 countries that voted in favor of the resolution. but it is
9:23 pm
worth saying there were 8 to the voted against and a further 16 than abstain, so not completely overwhelming. certainly, the iranian ambassador said, if ever irony, he said that this was all political. he said one member of bullying, member notorious for disobeying the un charter. an international law was pursuing an unlawful request to remove an elected member from the commission. he made the point that there was no precedent for this, but certainly it is now happened. and this follows last month, the un human rights council setting up a fact finding inquiry into human rights in iran. so pressure is growing on iran and certainly from the u. s. side of the u. s. ambassador linda thomas greenfield. when i spoke to her after the meeting said, they're planning to keep that pressure on with further measures to follow. sentinel passion, don't. thank you very much for breaking down for us diplomatic editor james base their ads had the united nation. thank you. russia has launched
9:24 pm
a new wave of strikes on ukraine's capital. explosions rang out just before dawning cave. officials say to administrative buildings with damaged, but a defense shut down. 13 russian drones preventing further destruction or challenge reports from keith. it looks bad, of course, but it could have been so much worse. thankfully no one was underneath the drone when it was shut down and crashed into this key building early on wednesday morning . spit, lana, cleared up the damage at her father's flat, just across the way. i thought it's a good morning because we were alive deductible off it can be removed on the face. it's not a big deal. it's a stoicism born of experience for months. russia has targeted ukraine, cities and power infrastructure. but stoicism does not mean apathy. makes up that much angry group. this time, the attack was a failure to put a liaison, preliminary information. all 13 drones were shot out of the ukrainian ed defense.
9:25 pm
melissa weldon, i'm proud of you here. citizens and we are grateful to the defense and don't ignore the sirens. but previous strain strikes, particularly when paired with cruise missiles, to be more successful. since mid october, russia has damaged every one of the cranes them power plants. and the russians trying to choice is this. they call them karen's. but despite russia and iran denials there, why be believe to be the iranian made? shaw had 136, and it's smaller version the 131 try out to 0 was given rare access to recovered examples being studied by ukraine's military intelligence. does the sabres fill up in some additional sets? yes. these you event does the more damage to us because russia uses him, most of them was the stickler. and there was head of 100. 1 is 20, almost not keeping his real identity secret. rational told me what's inside them.
9:26 pm
despite the drones assumed iranian origins, almost all the components of foreign, some or even ukranian talisman, canada. this isn't kind of the 1st candidate. so that's interesting because it shows that despite being under sanctions, iran is still managing to get hold of components like this. some suggest russia's use of imported drones means it has diminishing stocks of its own precision miss of but he crane knows it can't be complacent. despite the destruction you see here, it was a lucky day for key. if 100 percent of the drain shut down, no deaths and no injuries, but he's to say the next time this happens, they'll be so fortunate. and that's why he cried is making better ad offense. one of the most important requests is making of its friends and allies, rory talents out his era give still ahead on al jazeera where live to our world cup studio with ra, who path act for more on the build up to deny. semi final ah,
9:27 pm
anticipation is rising. and so with the atmosphere, you read the width of my cattle ways. hello there will start in south asian. it's looking a lot quieter across southern areas of india. now that the remnants of that 5 cone have pulled out to see we've got some showers tickling into the coast places like carola and some heavy rain popping off in sri lanka. and that's as the heavy rain moves away from the adam and an nickel islands into the bay of been go for the north of this much dry, a picture if you showers here and there affecting the north west of india. but for pakistan, enlarge areas of afghanistan, clear skies, and those spread their way for the east. now that, that's not the case for southern areas of china as we head to east asia, more heavy rain to come here for likes of hong kong,
9:28 pm
as well as taiwan. and we will see that rain start to creep its way into southern areas of japan by the time we get into friday. but it's a wintry mix that stealing the show across the north with more heavy snow to come to the likes of chicago and west in areas of horseshoe. but it remains much warmer for the likes of tokyo, the temperature sitting at 13 degrees on friday. we are however, going to see things dip right down for the likes of soul and beijing. as that wintry weather continues. shanghai seen some showers 10 degrees on friday that weather to with sponsored by catchall anyways, across southeast asia, a growing number of women are recruiting funding and even killing for violet groups . 101 east investigates the rise of these female bottoms on al jazeera. it's time for a memorable holiday with pegasus. it's time for turkey. set sail for new
9:29 pm
9:30 pm
her. welcome to walk up today on roll. pop back. we are live at all studio, or how's that? water fronted the house station council. we've already got one far left. later we'll learn who barrel fight in some days. it big getting about the style stadium. will it be? morocco applies to flying. the flag for africa right now and are determined to go all the way. and when they're trophy, thought, well be up against the defending champion. to say they're prepared to face morocco and then noisy fans are be go reaction for one of their aides. that the argentine found, celebrate that teen reaching the final thanks, largely the little genius, leno, lexi, and they're facing messy here. messy held up by quality, all messy away from protein. all i know
9:31 pm
with families is i jody me in the studio as have our football amulets. one around go asha coma geisha. we'll get their thoughts in just a moment's time. garza be ready. be ready by 1st. let's get straight out bite stadium for a huge lights in the well cup. semi finals morocco, the 1st african team ever to reach the stage up against the defending champions. and what you're saying is that the stadium ahead of kick off andy, it's been, this is a huge, you know, right form or all that really is.
9:32 pm
and i'm not going to surprise anyone by telling you that i think the vast majority of funds in this stadium are going to be moroccans. i've been talking to a lot of the funds coming in the stadium tonight. very hard to find many friendship rules. there's, i think it's important to say there, that morocco, it's not just a happy accident that they've made it really lend to this idea of it being a home world cup for them. it's a big population here, of course. so they've had a sort of ready made support base for that team. they've had fans flying in from morocco and regular flights, little details that they brought in for this. well, kind of making sure the parents and the families of the play as a have, if they possibly can be just a little bit, little marginal gains in a country that as a familiar culture, a familiar language. just giving the team that slight advantage throughout the tool and, and then you see what moral coast on it in the longer term and why this team is made so far. the investment in bates for analysis at all levels in rock and football. the investment in the national center of excellence,
9:33 pm
even the huge investment in women's football. it's a holistic approach to improving the game in that country. it's a country this desperate how the will cut themselves one day. and really now it's a product of all that hard work is paying off and i can. it's huge game against france. a few minutes ago i spoke to some american funds are now based in the united states that come over for the group say, just thinking that perhaps that would be that chance to see morocco in this well cup. they flew home, now flung back again and hoping to stay for a few more days and see the wilco final with morocco taking part and we cannot listen to what they had to say. so the 1st 3 good. not just to go back to work, then god would give a tame off and we came back kicking. i was like, we can do it or get for more and i wish the best for all the marketing team today for the win. because we're playing home today. have you seen the public 99 percent? morocco feels like it's
9:34 pm
a home game every single game. and number 12 is the difference makers. but does not mean that our our team does not provide 100 percent. i think whoever wins today will we will, will the lot hopefully will be us. but i'm hoping for a 10 morocco name and all the cry would be j, b, b, y. can we make it up there? and what about over here? what do you think? how do you, how proud of you, of your country to really go on and win the well, i don't think that's the questions. i think more clearly idea mark. so anyway, this is a done deal, but i'm sure lots, i'm sorry about that. they really will of course they will that you know, the writing champions. it's quite interesting listening to technical study group,
9:35 pm
a group of form applies that analyze the tactics of all the teams and they were commenting on the fact that the dominant, most successful sort of style of play 10 years ago was, was the spanish style of play. lots of passing going through the middle of the pitch, but the teams that have really done well at this tournament, 90 friends, so those that have got a bit of that of width to them and in them in a wide forwards, well, they've got to get to the best white forwards in the game, and i think we've got that intriguing matchup haven't even seen in buffet and his p s. g are signs around teammates and great friend, key me, whoever comes out on top in that little jewel, we saw how those sort of club jewels can sort of sometimes unravel in players minds . we saw how retaining and she got to race in the quarter. final one perhaps, can overthrow that penalty taking it against his club mate and a friend of his. whoever comes out on top when he came him back. i think that will have a huge, huge role to play and who comes out and help with
9:36 pm
a semi final okay, great, so far it, so i from kick ok self inside that. but what about the american fans back home? nicholas hockey is in casablanca for us, where the phones are getting rather excited about the biggest foot will much in that country's history. this is a special game for moroccan. there is a long history between france, a former colonial power and morocco, and many of the players on the moroccan team are not born in morocco or dual citizens. and some of them are french moroccans and so are some of the members of the french team. and that relationship is well illustrated with this family where the father is french, marco, that a friend, the mother is moroccan, brought the morocco, and their son is both ship. all of course, i'm supporting friends, but morocco will win easily. i am wearing this friendship because i love him buffy
9:37 pm
. but i could have one more rocking chair because they will when the down for is seen as a good omen for moroccans will be following the game and cafes like this. when i look what's on the menu, if the saw the rooster, that's a symbol of friends. he was anton grissman and here is rabbi, the lions at the apple devour the french rooster. and one boy, there was so much great splinter as they say here. for this moroccan team in that is what is inspiring young players to follow in the footsteps of the national squad . whether they win or lose. there's a feeling that moroccans national team has broken the glass ceiling and that now anything is possible for any african team or arab team to win the work. okay, that's sort of the dynamic. jerusha unharmed, ayesha morocco,
9:38 pm
it says here my question that have the weight of the arrow been african wells on their shoulders, but i don't see it as the weight on their shoulders. i mean, they'll be inspired by all the support. okay. yeah, absolutely. i mean, when you talk about this fixture, some people in africa looking at it as an african fixture, because you have majority of the french players, you know, having a background, you know, and roots in africa. killian, by me, his father is communion. the mother is algeria, and so that sort of, you know, gives this fixture another, you know, i'm going to wait but also really it's motivation. everyone online is saying go morocco, d my my dream and just giving the atlas lions a lot of support. they need it by the way. and of course they have the support of their funds or inside the al bait stadium. but today is historic. i cannot believe that in my lifetime, an african side is playing a semi final of a woke up and 9 to minutes away from a possibility of blank in the welcome to find out, but also against jena. one,
9:39 pm
we've talked so much about the, the american support that the 12 band, if you're like, is that going to have it impact tonight against france? depends on how the match progress is. if france here are dominating proceedings and morocco aren't doing much, then the talk man really is not going to be a factor. but i'm curious to see how far the but on how even gonna fit. and more importantly, wesley, for find out who is replacing. i don't have your is going to perform in the mid field. that to me is going to be very key to be able to sail and start to off man. if in fact france want to decide to move on to the final. i'm not sure in your opinion what, what's the key for morocco? what, how do they, when disco, it's going to be a very interesting game as we've seen, the starting lineup days 3 at the back. but there's going to be a lot of help, you know, in the wings for, you know, marco, but also they have the captain back in the squad. he was stretched up against portugal, but he's presidents in that game is going to be very key. talked about about but also just really the teamwork that they've had, the edge is both,
9:40 pm
just going to be very key for them tonight. he also went off, ends up in the game against pa to go. so there's a good vibe around the team, but also really it's the take one position at the time because as we saw in the semi find, no, you spit talk for one minute and your 2 goes down. so i think you know, morocco know that, you know, it's going to be positioned out of time, bills, confidence, and see how they can with the game. okay, sure. one, thank you very much, but now the window. today's game, of course we'll face our see to, in the final, the south american side, east coast to book their tickets in the welcome sherry. i'll just see that what, what did a pedal see in the 34 minutes where alvarez was brought down? messy going from the spot. are the take out their buses to tough as argentine as well goes for a with 11 bob rhodes was about responsible for w argentine as they just 5 minutes later the 43 year old man city. so i get sharing some skill on a bit of love to get paul story to all my single handedly in the middle of the 2nd
