a residential building with hit there a death in the south. there are power shortages here and here if the capital, as you can see, the low cloud cover meant that when i was looking around early, i tried to spot see the, the trails of air defense saw plumes of smoke on the horizon of successful strikes . i couldn't, all i could hear was the boom boom boom, reverberating around the city as they tried to shoot the missiles down quite airy, i have to say. now we know that there were some successful strikes there. how issues in parts of the capital, the metro system was shut down so that people could use those stations as bomb shelters. and the mayor, we thought kids go has said that there are a severe water running water disruptions around the city. but they're trying to get that back up and running as quickly as possible. and that's going to be the mission for the next few days or so. get those systems running again,

condition, which is also an important condition to lungs such thrice, is that there is no other ways and it should be in the minimum capacity. so also, although it is a very big change in japan policies till the government stays in the new national security strategy that is not looking forward to becoming militarized country. and the main purpose for all these revisions is to the 3rd, the threats that is now increasing our own japan. it said that the security environment is getting more and more tight around japan, referring to of course, the expansion of the chinese military in its waters. and also the very rates of long shows, nissan lunches, by north korea. and of course, the invasion invision to ukraine has also enhanced the deliberations the towards

enacting this new revisions to the laws in a way that many of the petitions are saying that what have been in europe a year before. it could have been now in asia. how defense it it's alex could topless tells us about the types of weapons japan is acquiring. japan is arming itself at an unprecedented rate. concerns about north korea's missile development. and china's military expansion have driven the sharp increase in defense spending. as japan moves away from its post world war to passive his constitution and takes a more robust approach to defense, still called a self defense force. the military is now focusing on the early detection of incoming threats and its ability to stop them long before they reach japanese shores. long range radar is being purchased and upgraded. the navy is now quote, with large helicopter carriers that are being converted into small, yet powerful aircraft carriers,

highlands of popular area outside kuala lumpur. the victims include at least one child, rescue crews are searching for survivors more than 20 people have been found alive . a start got me at the moment and we have 390 for rescuers, from 15 agencies working on the search and rescue operation. until now, we are still coming. the area with the incident happened to hockey, me. hamza is the secretary general of the malaysian rid crisen society. he says the campsite hits by the land slide did not have a permit to operate. the land owners have been granted permission to to have farms in that area, but their day however, appealed to get the permit to have to, to set up the camp site. so that has probably, that was probably the, the reason why i am we are having this success repeat. the actual landline happened at about 2 am. and that was when everyone was sleeping and it was dark. so at the

beginning was a bit of a challenge for the rescue efforts. however, as we get into the day, there was light and, and we and we got assistance from my many different authorities and used to have come on trying to relax assistance. and a lot of it has to be done manually. and as the thing might, they might have suitable for heavy equipment. and now we have to deploy green personnel and those who are very much familiar with the surroundings, to ensure that the areas that they conduct the search and rescue ah accurate and that they do not receive the course, the land to be good for the deteriorate and we don't want to have for the last lights moving on in south korea,

the families of the victims of the crowd crush on halloween holding memorial ceremonies in the capital sole. nearly 160 people died during festivities on a narrow street in the ice warm district in october. in this case, reports from sole 7 buddha ceremonies. every 70 is culminating in this 49th day of memorial riot. remembering the $158.00 souls are lost at the italian crowd crush. we are hearing a mother speaking right now who lost her youngest daughter to that fateful night halloween weekend among the hundreds of spiritual faithful. here are the family members who are banding together, not only for emotional support, but also hoping that by organizing a number, as they will be able to call out for answers to what happened that night. that a bottleneck among in an alleyway ended a in a huge loss of life,

hours after the 1st call for help went out. now the government is saying that it won't act until they have all the answers after these police investigations as well . as the parliamentary prob concludes, vigils will take place to night at the sight of the accident as the police continue their probe into were exactly the chain of command broke down that night. it is unclear whether the families will have answers before the sun sets on the year. but what does seem clear is that the 158, many of them young people won't be making their new year's hopes on this wishing tree. at least 10 people, including 5 children, have been killed in an apartment building 5 m se france authority cited started on the ground floor of the 7 story block of flats overnight. and the city of leon, at least 14 others were injured. ah,

the cost of our court has convicted a formal rebel commander of war crimes, including murder, had found sally mustafa tortured prisoners and a camp run by the kosovo liberation army during the 1998 to 1999 independence war. with serbia. it's the 1st verdict handed down by the special court. it operates under cost of a law, but as based on the hague to protect witnesses for men or brook hollow is in pristina for us. and just how significant is this verdict? well, this is the 1st verdict to by this, the court, the 1st, the verdicts for war and war crimes in cost a little bit. this is, this is the 1st instance word x for now. saudi will stop for the former commander of the coastal liberation army was place the guilty ops, the 26 years for torture,

murder and other crimes committed in 2020. the in decline was against came confirmed. he was still been working for the course of defense ministry and since 2020, he has been in the detention center in, hug. he has pledged not guilty. this verdict comes in a sense of time for coastal, because on the north of coastal, there are again ethnic tensions between the majority, obedience and the serbian minority. there have been barricades for a 7 days and now and the diplomatic relations between belgrade and our on a very low point, as it said, coastal has fated their independence in 2008. but the serbia

are not giving them the the right to have their own country and the cost of a war and the officer, serbia, has been a bulbs by nato forces for 11 months. and in the course of the war, 13000 people died. okay, a men of color in pristina for us. thank you. i to police officers have been wounded in a cab omen took here. the explosion happened in the southern province of dia, back here on friday morning. the officers were travelling in a mini boss at the time. 2 people have been detained. meanwhile people have rallied against the conviction of his damn balls mere on wednesday, a court found a grim more lu, guilty of insulting public official, the steering the mural race in 2019. he was sentenced to more than 2 and

a half years in prison and has been banned from politics. his supporters say the verdict is politically motivated. in belgium, thousands of people are holding demonstrations and brussels that demanding bit wages to meet the rising cost of living. a 3 major trade unions organized the protests switcher taking place during a summit of e u. leaders. fastest trains and flights are likely to be affected by the industrial action. will it speak to lauren walker? now a reporter with the brussels times, an online news outlets. and she joins us at live from velvet just outside brussels . thank you very much for a being on this news. our efforts will, can you outline exactly what protesters are demanding? yes, so just see it maybe bring some context to the story. belgium is currently in the midst of 2 crises. we have on the one hand, the energy crisis seeing the price of energy for people go up by about $5.00 to

$6.00 times while the fixed contract rate was last year. in the meantime, year side of the cost of living crisis and the fact the food prices are skyrocketing, the last analysis. so the groceries are around 18 percent on average, more expensive than last year. so union reps are actually just couldn't spread expressing their concern. and they've heard stories from their members, that some people are choosing between our heating their homes and eating, which is obviously a very dire situation. so the main motivation for today's, my demonstrations bosa for the ones that we've seen in previous months as a call, very strong measures to protect people's purchasing power. and they're urging the government and employers to take steps in this as well. okay, i mean there have been protests throughout this year. i think the last one about 4 or 5 weeks ago. is this one different and how likely is it um that the protesters are you going to be able to get what they want? yes, so the demands this time are very similar as you,

on the 9th of november among their demands to strengthen the purchasing power as a freeze on a cost of energy which other e, remember, states have already applied and there is asking for the maintaining of the annexation of wages. so belgium is one of 2. you countries where wave is automatically automatically increase and with inflation. so they're asking for this to be maintained. other demands are automatically increased or sorry for you negotiation of wage as bosa increase tax for people with higher incomes and saturate pensions to protect the purchasing power. as he mentioned the last processor demonstration was 5 weeks ago. and while the union city, i'm confirmed that this resulted in some changes, they believed that it's not in line with how dire the situation is. for many, for example, one of the government measures was actually pissing the responsibility in the hands of employers, mainly companies the saw i'm big increases in their profit,

and they were allowed to give a premium to workers as a type of bonus. but already surveys have shown that many companies are not in favor of this, so it's likely that there won't be a lot of change. i think they're obviously hoping that this process so close to another process will show the frustration. and obviously the large number of people are coming on the streets show that this is an actual problem. however, a due to several measures such as the wage annexation that i mentioned earlier. the chances are pretty low that this was for the government to bring new measures. and yesterday we saw the nurses in the u. k. a strike as well as a many other unions. the government's response there is basically being that we can't afford what you are asking for. is that the same issue in brussels? definitely, and i think it's, it's been for months now, the companies of said the on top of their energy crisis. obviously, that is also affecting their businesses and other crises, am as

a result of the war and ukraine that they just can't afford to pay workers more and oversee the annexation of wages is forcing them to do so. so i think the main argument here is employers are calling on the government to campus. stop on the wager next, asians, because they're saying that it's just not affordable for them to obviously cover these. i'm high wage costs, i think on the 1st of january, 560700000 people will see their wages increase, which is obviously pissing, lot of pressure on companies in belgium. on the other hand, the unions are saying that the maintaining of this in next asian is pivotal for people to survive and that these 2 crises going on. ok, thank you so much for your insight. that is, i lauren walker from the brussels times and well and peru. the government has declared a 5 day curfew in 15 regions across the country. that's after the supreme court's

decision to keep full of prison and pedro castillo in detention for the next 18 months. at least 14 people had been killed and weeklong protests sparked by the country's political crisis. marianna sanchez reports from lima. oh, the army controlling this to to find your culture. don't shoot a woman, shouts demonstrators. in the end, the and city were contained by security forces at the protest turned deadly. health official see at least 7 people were killed in more than 50 wounded. as protesters tried to overrun the local airport, aided by the army, thousands of policemen were deployed in the capitol. many demonstrators marched peacefully, others flashed with police. the human rights office asked for security forces not to use deadly force. homer, president,

builder guest you blamed president lina will want to, for the unrest in a hand written letter. as he waited for the verdict. i'll see that judge overseeing castillo ski said he promoted the public's disturbance of the peace and on thursday ordered castillo to remain in custody for 18 months for the crimes of rebellion and conspiracy. some supporters blamed congress for his demise. it would have been a different story if congress had let him work, but no, the only wanted to fill his post. now the lookout for most peruvians is for every one to leave. oh, that's a 7, a one i look 2023 legend. this maybe one branch make more, james, this is another that congress does not represent us. it has no legitimacy. it has only 5 percent approval. how can they vacate a president?

press it in the level one of the has declared a 30 day state of emergency 15 regents are now under curfew for 5 days. he, well, i thought i column can with, to make the best decisions to shorten the deadlines and make the necessary reforms . we are all leaving here, you know, mammals now many say the country is in the hands of lawmakers. the longer they take to bring forward the elections. the more people will rise up against them. medina, santas, and to see that lee might be do thousands of government documents relating to the assassination of u. s. president john f. kennedy being made public nearly 60 years after he was shot dead. the u. s. national archives has released nearly 13000 files about the killing and dallas in 1963. but the white house helped some documents bank because of

national security. the warren commission that investigated the shooting, found that lee harvey oswald assassinated j of k are still a hit on al jazeera and all of your world cub news, including who former football stars think will take home the trophy from cutter. 2022. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with the a you ready? i wanted my cattle aways. hello. the weather remains very unsettled across southern parts of europe, more snow across northern parts of europe, but we do have a change. and the way we are going to see where to where the coming in from the atlantic is we make about of the next couple days and with the wet weather, it will turn a good deal, milder at the moment. as i said, lots of clara right across the south, some a tribe, but fabulous snow scattered around northern parts as well. so here's that change.

we'll see temperatures in london at around 2 degrees celsius a to there for paris as well. and as we go one into were the we can those temperatures, gent gently matching up 5 there, 5 or 6 there for london and paris. by the time we come to sundays, you can see those temperatures continue to rise quite nicely. yellow started to push through. that's the milder air, and we're into double figures. come monday of next week so the snow will not last too much longer, at least in this part of the world. the rest of snow and all the parts of scotland at present pushing down across the central overs son's cotton. catching a little bit of snow as you go through friday of much having to them whilst good part, violet. it is henry dry. lots of lively showers across central parts of the med snow. they are just around the outs pushing its way further. ne, with it will be heavy at times and disruptive, so much ride down towards the southwest. by the time we come to saturday, madrid with a high v 11 degrees the weather sponsored by cattle anyways. tens

of thousands of children were born in to all lived under the idle regime in iraq and syria. now many are in camps. i all funds so with that without mothers rejected by their own communities chicken. do you think that people are going to welcome them after that? of course not an emmy award winning documentary. here's that chilling and traumatic story from the children throw stones at me. iraq's last generation on al jazeera from propaganda and managed manipulation to the colossal consequences. the listening post reveals the powers behind the media and the impact on, on life. it's one of the biggest reasons why iraq is back at a democracy. there's no accountability analysis era. ah

ah hello, i'm john again rocha. there's lots to get through there. let's get straight to it. bravo, papa! garden, cedar bronze. get ready to do battle in the world cup final on sunday. this was all good to hear back out on the 20 field for the 1st time. since i would, i would collect any final thoughts that both wasn't on showed. no massey, one of ours, the stuff out discussion struggle with absolute. if you in the last i bought that war, yelton's uniform, he in 50 will be ready for sunday, both argentina and paul paul looking to win the welcome for the 3rd time today. so

who is going to win it? that's a big question. a faithful legends tournament is currently going on in keta. she gave the home a leak, the chance to catch up with some of the stars of the past to get their predictions . a with the world cup is coming to an end, but right now we have a legend tournament going on. busy and it's not that unity to find out who some of the 1000. yes, the a think are going to trial on sunday by i'm hoping that we were the will to one of your will be difficult because they are strong. they are strong and they've been growing into the competition. they, they with a lot of passion. and i know we will face a lot of alternative funds in the stadium. i will say tina environmental

health, i will tell you that i can even function with complex complexity. i need to find him on a i'm friends. so obviously i will say france knowing that the other side with the team and for sure that they would have him to win the coffee after that i know in a to 6 both grade teams but slightly fudging to know why i don't because they want it so much better mission up on it, a 2nd on what it might be a momentum. no, i get it. i don't know that they, they don't want to say that if we have, you know,

we'll go out on the interview. i'd be enough to okay. okay. mama said football. a job. i mean all new mcquaid isn't being i'm you speak with you and 2nd of contina . again, messy point, and then i go by monday. well the legends have spoken now or we need to do is wait for pick up on sunday and do say argentina versus frank, who wants to call it? it's unpredictable. we shall see who ends up well champion. i bet if you notice that we've been seeing a very different kind of nino messy on the field during this. well cut one, that's a little bit more angry. defense is chain and definitely leaving it on the page. when an argentine people are loving it's theresa bio reports, what does that mean?

o, a freeze by eunice macy has made it to people's hearts in argentina. what are you looking at fall? it's being printed on t shirts. mugs and even tattooed on people's bodies and allow me to sell dollars and dinner. tony will face, he works at this shopping when aside as well and says the growing demand for t shirts with a phrase shows support for the football star. oh, good. okay. lacking the delivery area, i think people wanted a messy who's more spicy and in this world cup, he has shown it during the matches. he shows his argentinean. he gets angry like we do and that's why people want these t shirts. alex, it all started during the quarter final between argentina and the netherlands tension was running high. oh, from it. oh, i love us. oh. in opposed to match interview, a fired up. messy, cleared at dutch striker vowed their course and said in slang, what are you looking at for clear off for clear off the catch phrase, he softened,

combined with an image of the player, cupping his ears and louise bungle the dutch coach, who had earlier questioned macy's abilities oh, it struck a chord back home and has been used in commercials, music and even on wine bottles. why do people here are in love with the leona massey, most of the people you talked to said that he had been extraordinary during this. well, come the low, his career, not his leadership, and hope that he'll be able to guide argentina to victory on sunday. many have compared macy's attitude to the ego, my lorna, whose sharp mouth constantly got him into trouble reaching in january. but writers who at young fair says, likening messy to marianna is a mistake, is missy, i mean we, we tend to comprehend it tomorrow on our all the time. and you can compare message to melanie because there are different type of personalities. and 10 people,

they laugh hair, they outspoken style of law, and now their risk is style. i would say if murder and messy, he's now been like this. people who reactions have a lot to do with food were rivalry, but also challenging authority. and that's the beauty of football. i mean, we have some problems here in this house and europe is much more developed area. but when it comes to the game, a we are equal in teens are excited for the world cup final, hoping that finally unit missy will bring the trophy to latin america. once again. i see that when citing all right, well let's bring in chicago here also we heard that he being described as spicy, messy ronald's discouragement, angry messing, messy. it's just because he is getting to the end of the cranny. really, really wants that walk up or do you think it's always been there under the surface? it's been there under the surface. but now this woke up with setting to see messy.

come a life basically, and actually own the tags that, you know, he's been given over the years. you know, yes, he's a leader, but he's been a leader quietly, but this messy, this is the one who wants to win. the woke up and he's shown that, you know, throughout the tournament. yes, they love to founder ravia in that opening game. but you could see the leadership coming alive, you know, through the group stages, through the knockout stages. and now he's in the finder and he has a chance to actually win his 1st welcome. and for the fun, there must be a lot easier to relate to someone who is, i guess a bit more like them. i mean, you know that the quite messy, the shy and i see it might have been harder for them to connect with that full of messy but the one that we have now. i guess that's why he's got this bond with the gina fans that he salts about. yeah, absolutely. i mean, i was surprised when i saw him walk over to louise on how. but when you go back to the background, you know, the basis on which this rivalry was coming from and you know, louise on how sort of saying, you know, maybe he doesn't read messy. i think he has a right to be offended by that. yes knows,

he is one of the greatest players ever play the game of football. so tough to say that in his face i think for him was sort of let me get this off my chest. and, and for me, i think the rest of the players that they're taking that energy and they'll go with it, you know, to the final and that at it should be very, very important. i guess the team like france. all right, so we're just going to pause that because fee for president john infant he know speaking now, here in doha lesson, listening for the 1st time on women who referee, read a funny, funny, ha, ha, on mom france. and was germany costa rica and should it very well. um we had a 2300000 higher card applications. 1.91.9000000 approved and the top 5 visiting countries were saudi arabia, india, the united states of america, united kingdom and mexico. so international atmosphere,

a joyful atmosphere, football united, think the world people coming together and wanting to enjoy a little bit their time, maybe forgetting also some of their issues and having a pleasure will issue as well. after the final, of course, the viewing figures and the audience figures about that has been, as you know, of course, an incredible success. we are approaching the 5000000000 mark in terms of viewing figures and them again, a say a big thank you to all those who made this happen. we are almost $180000.00 accreditations that were issued or support to whole of you. or we had more than 400000 volunteers who wanted, who applied to become volunteers. 20000 were selected from 150 different countries

. so it was very, very successful. but we touch with somebody. yep. that's what we touch would i do much? is the role so i say to everyone who is a praising are receiving praises was focus until the end and, and then we will of course, hopefully confirm these are feeling said we have now, which are more than feelings. obviously when it comes to okay, we will work out all vast jani and francine are there, but there are generally we'll come back to our little bit later in the shower. it might be a little rest. i for the team to little rest i owe just normal rest i but the 5 the so i asked him about making the most of what kathy has got offered during the tournament. alexi i brian has more from a shred in doha, just days away from that all and pull his final wagon, tina type on bronze and fans home. the south american teens have come down here to

the civilian. that is run that by the region. both made a ration and it was paying for me to south america. things have been part of it, not just argentina, but also uruguay. and also it is what they think it's 3 breed. and it really said those who been behind humbling this thought take a route in the region. so it's supposing giant float, past and present, and possibly even future. so on it, you can see engraved into it various autographs. we've got up here, we've got pele. we've got around the corner. we've got diego marana, and of course, the global superstar leon l. missy therapy more than a 100000 visits to this interactive space. since it opened on the clear sky of the world, cut football fans can try. they skill a dribbling and ticket tasting whether they can dance with the bull,

like the sporting heroes, or have the power to send it into the back of the me. i can also take se with life size models it to with the greatest football players of all time, argentina. it's diego metadata, and brazil. there's another brazilian football annoyed by just one name, and there is a silver the brazilian boarwood place with a national name age 36. here he is a little late your to haven't role as some of the big female players in the region . and if you are in denial, but this will cover over in just a few days that work with women like this will be taken to the next year in new zealand and australia. the women, 1st of all right, we'll get more on the growth of the women's game. we can now speak to the while right now. she's the vice president of women's football at one football while we're

coming to the end of this well cup and another one just round the corner. the women's well cut next year. is it going to be the biggest tournament for women's football yet? absolutely, i think that it's with great pleasure that we can look forward to another one of those big events. and this i think with our meaning that any of the additions of this tournament, given the material growth in this game in the last year, what do you think has caused it to be so popular recently? well i think it was messy himself leaving barcelona and really creating a space for the club to show another one of which was the woman's team. they were really, really hard to, to make sure that that match on the 30th of march this year was a success when they opened up for the 1st time ever, their men stadium for the women to play. a champions league game were over 91000

pounds, showed up and really showed the power of this sport. right. and i think from there on a lot of other class got inspired and brand also saw the power of being able to participate in gender quality movement after the me to movement. i think this is probably the most powerful on that we've seen since. i think while we were looking at the draw for the women's world cup seems like china, philippines, ambia. you don't see them at the men's well cup. so what to the women in those countries have the men don't it? so it's a great question and i think it's something that we've been thinking about in the last month. right. i mean, even morocco is going to be their 1st time ever playing this cause i only play their 1st edition last 20 in 2019. so you see there's a difference in between the menus and the women. and it also comes down to,

you know, investment and it's clear in the case of the us women's national team, they want this all 4 times and the men haven't been able to make it to finally. so i think that it's hard to compare to understand exactly what's in there, but i believe that the resilience of the players shows quite a lot on the, on the fish. they're not being paid equally until broke out. many of them weren't even professionalized. and how many jobs on the side, especially for the i did, i can tell you the vast majority of the players and 2 or 3 jobs on the side, from playing and representing their country. you know. so i think that resilience comes through and you'll see them fighting for a spot and to where that jersey with their nation on i, which i think is the biggest honor for any football or even generic quality on the page. we've seen women referees that face men's world cup. jenny and container.

they mentioned them a little bit earlier taking charge of a game once. it was a historic moment, but it hasn't been repeated. do you think the fee for could have done more? i, stephanie and her 2 assisted via. busy medical car was already a very big step for considering the context of this work. you know, we have countries like iraq or the broadcaster, it didn't show images of stephanie because she was wearing shorts. so i think that understanding where we're at and history and where we're in terms of geographic, where this one is located. it was a bowl. and one that i think was appreciated by the entire world in which to me was one of these moments where as a woman, you're a very happy i think that it definitely opens up the door. now to have more women participate of this. you know,

incredible event and i'm sure that in the united states, mexico and canada edition of this, we'll see a lot more i think, to i just really quickly a you originally from argentina. what do you think of your teams chances against france? i made it obvious today by wearing a few days ago, i was lucky enough to be able to watch the semi finals against radar. and there's a lot of feelings about it, i think watching my country and it's fans. and you know, this incredible team so close to the it's amazing. you never have been in my life. i'm, you know, the last time or you know, isn't even boys. so i'm hoping that i'm going to be able to, to watch and happen to sunday. all right, well, 12 right now, vice president of women's football at one football. thank you very much for joining

ah love is still plenty ahead on al jazeera, you as president joe biden makes over choose to africa, to counted china and russia's growing influence on the continent. ah.

with ah, ah.

ah south africa is governing amc party is holding a leadership pole with president cyril graham opposed a tip to win a 2nd term. i made a miller reports from johannesburg once celebrated as a liberation party that fought against racial segregation. in recent years of africa, the governing african national congress has been riddled by corruption and criticism . it's a party of respected global and african leaders such as oliver tumble and nobel peace prize laureate nelson mandela. but 28 years into democracy. the a and c facing increasing condemnation for poor leadership and governance. since

monday, la subsequent president tub. when becky and jacob zoom out, were recalled or forced to resign, current. president obama post as facing similar pressure in a scandal involving the 5th of hundreds of thousands of dollars from his game farm . the end fees, reputation for many isn't tatters. cryptography, nepotism, codley deployment from the very beginning of b and c government, which then became a norm within the party and within the higher echelons of government. so even when people have found to have sallied the day, the day they record as it were, they still continue to be deployed as members of the a and c and as trusted members of the n c. and that's what led to rampant corruption, a poorly performing economy. rick would hi, unemployment and energy crisis and a multitude of fraud. scams have frustrated south africans. the party was the 1st in mccracken collections in 1994 with

a 62 percent majority that dropped to 57 percent in the last polls support for the amc been in decline for years. some voters have protested against the amc by staying away from the hold. others have abandoned the governing party and voted for the opposition. the democratic alliance and economic freedom fighters dominate opposition voices while they're combined support of almost a 3rd, a vote can't be ignored. and a and c parliamentary majority is often protected. it's in battle leaders. the in c needed money. and the people who supported the ins, he saw money as being something that they could get their hands on. so the solution was you could relatively easily do what you wanted and get what ever tenders you wanted, provided you gave to caesar a portion of it and kept a portion for yourself. and the rock began thus, this weekend,

the party will hold an elective conference to choose a president and other senior figures. supporters hope the new leadership will revive the party. but for many south africans, it's the same old faces with the same old scandals for me to mila al jazeera janice bug. you as president joe biden has called for the african union to become a permanent member of the g. 20. the group of the world's 20 biggest economies. he was speaking on the final day of the us africa leaders, summers in washington, d. c. she have returns, he has more. president biden participated in 2 leaders sessions of the summit, one on the african union's agenda, 2063 planned to transform the continent over the next 50 years and one on ensure and food security. once again, biden's message was of equitable development mutual success and us investment over the next 3 years. working in close cooperation with the united states congress. we plan to commit $55000000000.00 in africa to advance the priorities we

share and sit down to support the agenda. 2063. however, when asked us, government officials were unable to provide a breakdown of how the figure of $55000000000.00 was arrived at, or how the bite administration intends to get congress to prove that some the president of the african union. welcome the u. s. has renewed commitment to africa called for washington to end its economic sanctions on symbolic way and its plans, the sanction of the african countries via the so called malign russian activities in africa act still working his way through congress. suppose you start gum dysfunction. this bill with the things in which targets a whole continent is the 1st and international relations african asking why such a bill exist. and why is africa targeted? at least outwardly, the u. s. has changed its tone at the summit, not publicly hectoring african nations about decisions. washington doesn't agree with where there is still skepticism about whether anything really is different.

the problem isn't what they're saying. they're saying all the right things. the problem is, they're not doing anything differently, they're still focusing more on, on, you know, open societies and values rather than on increasing investments and sort of a more concrete approach to encourage him businesses to invest in the regions. and even as the biden administration talks of democracy and human rights, it was notable that the only african leader to get an honor guard was the objection president who overseas, a government not noted for its democratic values. the u. s. e. 's itself is the world's indispensable nation, but does it all patients for that sort of talk here? there are simply too many other countries willing to do business with africa who don't demand economic and political obedience. she has the al jazeera washington, a police officer and jordan has been shot and killed during a confrontation with protesters in the southern city of mon. they've been

far, fox could face a life sentence for his role in the plot. now, in crowds for breath, i think carefully. but the last thing i see people when i worry about the see everyone here when the twitter has suspended the accounts of more than half a dozen journalists to write about the company and new owner ilan mosque. they include reporters from the new york times cnn. and the washington post mask tweeted that he couldn't, except that his real time location could be shared, saying it endangered his family. a huge aquarium in the center of berlin has bursts, spilling out a 1000000 liters of water and hundreds of tropical fish. the 25 meter tall cylindrical tank was the largest in the world. several 100 hotel guests had been evacuated from the building emergency services,
