a reliable partner committed to the future of african countries. he's hosting dozens of leaders in washington at a 3 day summit which is being held for the 1st time since 2014. but china has outpaced the u. s. and investments and engagement in the region. and russia is also seen as expanding its influence. as she had retention, the white house has been stressing that it respects the sovereignty and ju strategic priorities of african nations. and that it wouldn't use the liter summit to lecture nations about doing business with us rivals, china and russia. the u. s. does one to expand its footprints in africa? and joe biden uses address of the summit to make the argument that the u. s. and it's corporations will be a great business partner with african nations to ensure mutual success and united states is committed to supporting every aspect. every aspect of africa is inclusive growth in creating the best possible environment for sustain commercial engagement between africa,

companies and american companies. united states is all in an african future. the 2nd day of the summits, or several hours of paneled discussions about the potential of us african traded investments. but everyone here is aware that china has passed us by a long way in business and strategic partnerships. and that the u. s. is not thrilled with those investments. what the nations here have been making clear is that they will not be beholden to any power as they look to the future. the president of the democratic republic of congo using a photo opportunity to quietly criticize the u. s. after receiving condolences for the flooding in the country, what's killed at least a 100, for example, you've just given us now sincere condolences for the tragedy and construction. thank you for your condolences. this is the very example of what we have regretted with some time the support from countries to pollute and which unfortunately leads to negative consequences in our countries that cannot protect themselves from this job button isn't having any bilateral meetings with the african leaders here. the

responsibility of secretary of state as me blinking, instead of the white house, said bite and would have informal little movements with leaders at the forum and at the white house dinner. it is fascinating watching us officials trying hard not to talk about what they feel really malign intentions of china and russia. but they know that to do so. if the suggests of african nations are somehow naive and unaware of the consequences of their own strategic priorities. shambrika mc al jazeera washington. at least 4 people have died after a boat carrying asylum seekers capsized in freezing waters between france and england. agencies say the deaths were avoidable, and then the u. k. government for making a safe routes, unavailable for migrants trying to cross the english channel, and just demons reports from over. not for the 1st time refugees and migrants dying at sea, but more lives were saved them last, as fishermen pulled people to safety from the icy waters of the english channel. a

rigid inflatable boat with people on board migrants i was crossing and was sinking very, very near to where he was fishing. so amazingly got right in next to the, the sinking boat and managed to come alongside and safely get 31 people on board. this latest tragedy is once again down to people traffickers, they're not deterred by freezing weather. neither it seems of the migrants. channel crossings is an ongoing humanitarian crisis, and people traffickers have never been busier. at the same time, politicians are running short of ideas on how to stop them. it is not cruel or unkind to want to break the stranglehold of the criminal gang who trade in human misery and who exploit our system and dollars. i'm sure the whole house will share

my sorrow, capsizing 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 all the defects, no less than 24 hours before these death, u. k. prime minister richey sooner had been talking about new measures to curb the channel crossings. but so far, every measure the u. k. government introduces, as failed, needs to be signed from legal rates. that's the biggest issue that we've got the maintenance is that people are making the journey from can i? because there is no other way of doing it. you have to be on versus coil on the island in order to seek asylum as no center and tell i want you to find this item. so people have a choice, but to make this journey, i'm not the single biggest thing that the government could do in order to prevent people having to risk their lives. here, dover, lightfoot, station, they've seen it all before. people trafficking across the channel is at record levels 40000 this year under the weekend alone,

500 risk their lives. tragedies are all too frequent. this time more lives will save the lost. but that isn't always the kids must november 27 lives were lost in the channel. the highest number ever recorded. a diplomatic spat followed between france and the u. k. with the british saying the french should do more to stop the small boats from leaving their shore line. as the life boat crews will tell you, the crossings are ever more frequent and dangerous. andrew simmons al jazeera dover . russia says no christmas cease. fire is on the cards after nearly 10 months of a devastating warn ukraine is continued to launch more attacks. ukraine's government says its forces have shot down 13 russian drones that will launch towards keith. russian shells have also had a city of hassan millions of ukrainians and without regular access to power water

and heat on a face some 0 temperatures. where a challenge reports not 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 shot 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 cuz we we had a live that does go off, it can be removed under place. 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 is that makes us better, much angry group. this time the attack was a failure to put a laser umbrella in their information. all 13 drones were shut down by ukrainian ed different modes. weldon, i'm proud of you. he,

us citizen and we are grateful to the defense and don't ignore the sirens. but previous drain strikes, particularly when paired with cruise missiles, to be more successful. since mid october, russia has damaged every one of the cranes thermal power plants. times 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 a 0 was given rare access to recovered examples being studied by ukraine's military intelligence. the sabres, philip, think them some additional said yes, these you, the more damage to us because russia uses him, most of them was are they see stickler. and there was head of 1. 1 is 20, almost to live, not keeping his real identity secret with actual told me what's inside them. despite the drones assumed iranian origins, almost all the components of foreign,

some or even ukrainian talisman canada. this is kind of the 1st canada. 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 rushes use of imported drones, means it has diminishing stocks of its own precision missiles. but he crane knows it can't be complacence. 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 the crane is making better ad offense. one of the most important requests is making of its friends and allies, rory, talents out to 0. give a turkish quarter sentence is done bills mer to more than 2 and a half years in prison for insulting public officials. the trial focused on remarks and crim emotive made during the merrill race in 2019. the conviction prevents him

from holding elected public office for the duration of the sentence. his legal team, it says he will appeal the ruling, was seen as a potential challenge at the present project at one and elections next year. hunger is foreign minister, has outlined his nation's plan to diversify its future energy supply and an interview with al jazeera peter c auto. welcome to the corporation of country such as cattle, who are supplying natural gas in an energy market, trying to win itself off. russian gas in germany, not so long ago, just a couple of weeks ago, signed a 15 year deal with kat had a supply natural gas to ensure its long term energy security. is that something that you hungry looking to do? i was very happy when i learned about this agreement between germany and tar, because i do hope that such kind of forms of a practical cooperation will help to put the katara europe cooperation on a more pragmatic basis. so instead of the constant lecturing and judgment on behalf

of some european friends towards car, this relationship would be based on mutual respect and pragmatism. yes, definitely. we are looking for ways and means of diversification. no question. or do i have to tell you that for us, unlike some other european countries for us diversification means to be able to reach out to as many sources as it is just possible on as many routes as if you're just possible and not that is. so the one geographic direction, we turn to the other one and we look at katara as a reliable partner. no question. as is, there is an elegy port in our neighborhood in creation. there. hungary is a number one customer. so we have capacity is there is a kind of a likely scenario or a realistic scenario that once a gas from katara would be added to our national energy mix, that is to our interest. definitely, you know,

in light of the invasion of ukraine would you want to do away with and putting any more russian oil and gas from, from tomorrow if you could, we need the ration energy sources and there is no scenario for the upcoming decade that we would not need because simply because of the infrastructure and you know, as long as we have a contract and the contract is being fulfilled, there's no real reason to do the war. yeah, we have invaded one of your neighbors and yeah, definitely come them. it's one thing to condemn the war, but it's another thing, you know, some of your critics have argued that hungry is actually helping to fund person and help him pay for the war by fill purchasing russian oil. and guess what would you take to that? look, if you're in ourselves, then we are not able to have ukraine and withdrawing from the contracts with russia,

one energy supply would mean destroying the country. and you can catch the full interview with hunger is a foreign minister on talk to al jazeera. that interview is right here on saturday at 430 gmc that there's one item that sums up the middle east 1st wells carpets, the arab headscarf, the good trash is given fans from around the world a new way to wear their teams colors. we met a man whose turned his passion for literature into a colorful business. ah, my name faith, i would like him and i am the owner of love from $1.00 from one though. is the company that sells a lot in the colors of teams that are playing in the paper work helped with i've been a part of the art pilcher for thousands of years 3,

as long as it's more of a cultural thing and our little thing, thousands of years ago, the are people use the word to protect themselves from the sun, from the of the sun in the summer and, and then again from the windows, from the dust they put in front of their faces and evolved with time to become just a part of the, our culture we tried to do with was the owner to make it more friendly because the other culture can be intimidating, but we wanted to be friendly and that's, that's how the idea came about. we don't to me, the letter of the flag of the country with her amazing acceptance from both the funds and look up that he is a weird we we, we expected it to be to be accepted,

but the 3rd exceed the expectation. i'm very happy about that because it's intertwined. the culture, you know, the latin american european, the, the west is just learned something new of culture. and they learned that well, not as hostile people make it seem the need to make it seem. and they learned that the other people on the other going to meet me there are even a wide, accepted the idea that you can see that there's other people pick things that was in the streets and accepting from wearing the look was on during the culture with
