check minister who is chairing this meeting said he said it felt like a plotline from mission impossible. and yet, he says, referring to that movie franchise, they arrived asset. the crux of it is that the differing sides in this, the, you long played out soccer of one country against another. they've agreed that there should be a cap of $180.00 euros per megawatt hour of gas, which should kick in from the 15th of february of next year. which won't apply to all trades, but which will be then it will be linked to the price of liquefied natural gas as well. and it is meant to provide some degree of safety net safety valve as it were to the e. u to the 27 countries. remember, the issue here was that you had 3 countries who really weren't sure about as a told dutch, the germans, the austrians. and then many countries in the southern mediterranean men,

the stays area who were pleading for some sort of cap european commission and said it should be set at $275.00 euros per megawatt hour. they've decreased that by more than a 3rd shows how much they wanted agreement. and the fact that the countries who i'm sure about the germans specifically have voted in favor of it shows you just how much the easy you leaders these ministers wanted a deal. i think us ella donna kane reporting from berlin. the high court in london has rolled the u. k. government plan to send asylum seekers to were wanda, is legal. the deportation policy was suspended in june after a last minute challenge. harry fossett has more from the london court. it's ruled in favor of the government, but with a significant caveat, you'll remember earlier this year the previous home secretary pretty for tell the interior minister of united kingdom under this conservative government,

signed an agreement with rwanda. that the mandated every asylum seeker who arrived in the u. k. by what the government deemed and illegal method, such as over the channel. between france and england. on a small boat, they would immediately be deported to rwanda and have a slight an application process. and if they were found to be asylum seekers, they would be resettled, that they would never come back tonight it came to now the 1st time the government tried to enact this policy with a flight. in june. there was an injunction, and it was said now that has been this, this legal challenge by individual items, because in that case, and also other organizations and the justices have ruled that the policy as a whole is lawful. it isn't accordance with the refugee principles. it's in accordance with the the human rights act in the u. k. and that it can go ahead,

but they're also saying that in the individual 8 cases that it was looking at, they were not properly considered by the government. and so the government would have to reconsider those cases and in every single new case, have to look individually at those cases. yasmina letters, the u. k. director for human rights watch. she says the court decision will put the lives of many vulnerable people at risk. a terrible ruling on so many levels. the fact that the u. k. high court has said that it's lawful for the government to expel asylum seekers from its territory before they even had the chance to claim asylum and send them to wanda. a place that human rights watch, the un and even the government official not be safe to be silent, take it deeply, deeply disappointing is the possibility that people after 7 days will be eligible

to be sent to wanda. the government said that there are certain categories of individuals that will not be sent to rolanda, including children and others. but there is a vast majority of people who can and this includes people who are here, who have sled situation on syria or elsewhere. so essentially, there are many, many asylum seekers who arrive after 7 days will be very, very concerned. and we know that received a notices of deportation of expulsion to why we're extremely psychologically traumatized. we know, for example, that people work, so harming them with threats of suicide and other things, because these are awesome people who receive the persecution that being traffic and they're in extreme extreme realty. and then they receive and even receive a notice from the government that they're going to be expelled to a country that they have never been to before. they have no family, they know nothing about. the dutch prime minister margaret has issued

interest to people around the world. people pay attention to what with on here. and it's very good at bringing the news to the world from here. ah, ah, ah, hello again. you're watching alger 0. here are the top stories. energy ministers from several european nations have agreed to implement a cap on gas prices. the decision to keep prices at 180 years, a megawatt hour comes in, costs rise, money into rushes, invasion of ukraine. the high court in london has ruled the government plan and asylum seekers to rolanda is legal plan. deportation policy was suspended in june after a last minute challenge. dutch prime minister mark gross, has issued a historic apology for his country's role and 250 years of slavery. it comes amid

a wider consideration of reparations for those affected. another wave of russian attacks has hit ukraine's capital. keeps military administration says it's shot down 15 drones on monday morning. ukraine has been rushing to restore power to cities after russian strikes destroyed parts of the energy grids. the attacks have plunged much of the country into darkness during freezing winter temperatures. charles stratford has the latest from keith. this comes only a couple of days after one of the biggest attacks on the guy, but we'll see the those attacks using missiles. and we know the kind of pressures that the authorities here under, in trying to restore electricity across the country to areas was affected. the men of the great capital kiev has come out in the last hour or so and said that there is ongoing work trying to,

to saw this critical infrastructure. we understand that one of the main targets was actually targeted last week as well. that's one of these substations is so important for the supply of electricity and heat. the presence lensky last night said that an additional $3000000.00 homes had had electricity and heat restored to them since those attacks on friday. yes, this is another example of just how vulnerable ukraine and the capital city in particular is and how the russian seemingly can target these areas at will. but also an indication so far at least of just how effective this missile defense systems are that ukrainians have. but of course, they are continuously asking for more defensive systems because of course, these temperatures these winter temperatures continue to draw. we got a number of months at least 2 or 3 months of very heavy and difficult winter

conditions ahead and potentially as millions of ukrainian civilians could be affected by these attacks in the u. k. many ukrainians have been welcomed into host families face an uncertain future. the government has announced extra funding as refugees extend their state through christmas, and hayward reports from lincolnshire at a time of togetherness for so many this will be a christmas like no other for a loaner and her 4 children far away from the place they still call home they were forced to flee the bombardment of their ukrainian town and came to the u. k. sponsored by a host family. this feeling that the voice chasing me, it remained whole very long after we escaped. i'm obviously very glad that we were made these johnny and

we are here and we we can leave though. i wish it had never happened. a loaner and her children lived with johnny and his family before finding her own house. but he still supports them. i think the thing that i found was to allow the messages space to actually sort of cover to find the fe whiteford and assist them in, in actually moving forward with the lives more than a 140000 ukrainians. arrived in the u. k. under the homes, the ukraine scheme, but there are increasing concerns about rising levels of homelessness among refugees in lincoln, the efforts to support people who come here and deliver aid back home this ongoing . but the uncertainty of what comes next is a worry. one couple we spoke to who didn't want to appear on camera told us they

were asked by the host repeatedly when they are leaving. and we were told about a woman with young children who was given little notice to leave. she did eventually find another host, but 65 kilometers away. most of people are here with the gates and it's, it's really hard them to change again the school france and saddle in a put new place without knowing if it's just for 6 months. or we will change again, many ukrainians have found unwavering support from those they live with, but worries of law or a constant. sometimes we can forget for a moment about the war in ukraine, but of course we know that it is where a difficult doubt off times that there are mod can change very easily from laughter to tears from smile to some said mod. yeah, i missed them because i can be around them now. so. yeah, not easy. but as the year draws to a close,

there's time to reflect on what has been a life changing experience, both here and in ukraine. emma haywood al jazeera lincoln in northern england. south african president 0 rom of hasa has been reelected to lead the governing african national congress. so this means the president will lead the party into the national elections in 2024 delegates at a conference in johannesburg chose run the photo over the former health minister as well a am. cuz a the president has been embroiled in a burglary scandal involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. we caught up with a veteran politician in south africa who defected the opposition after the transition to democracy. he's the son of anti apartheid activists, amena, and use. if i could tell you, i am calling to charge you a member of parliament, a member of the official opposition, the democratic party. in johannesburg, south africa. i come from a long line of activists. in fact, both my grandfathers,

who political activists going back over a 100 years together with mahatma gandhi, the n c, was the vehicle of struggle for us. it embodied what we believed in embodied non racialism is he left me, i didn't leave the n c. it was one of the more difficult decisions of my life. we established democracy in this country after great struggles and almost a civil war. but what happened thereafter was rather sad. and there was a continual slide towards the situation. we find ourselves in the movement instead of swallowing billions, to keep the lights on this watering buzz billions to turn the lights off. how do you run an economy without electricity? how do you run an economy without proper logistics?

it can get goods from a to be an expert, export them out of a port. how porch is to be the best in the world. they know the worst in the world, and in he cannot pull the wool over our eyes. any more. south africa is fixable. we have a glorious country here. we inhibited fantastic infrastructure. we can fix all the, the n c is bankrupt morally and financially. it cannot do so. it will not do so. it needs to be put out of power. it's almost 30 years since that glorious movement came into power in south africa. it is solid, it's sol. by itself, it needs to be jettisoned. and if they learn, well, hello, yeah, thousands of farmers in india have rally to demand more a state subsidies and financial support as the cost of living rises. they say the

government hasn't fulfilled promises made after repealing contentious laws last year. have natal reports from new delhi and impromptu, dont is broken out at this rally. new denny, the song comes from the western state of rogers, tom, one of the many regions represented here, thousands of farmers from across india have gathered to demand the government, lower taxes on fertilizers and other agriculture equipment, and increased financial support. now got ya know, we want prices that earn us a profit. right now we are not recovering our costs. we are very deep in debt for 3 generations. we have only been passing on debts. the sect is reeling from multiple crises, including extreme weather patterns and reduced output. this demonstration was poured by union with close ties to the governing bgp. it comes months after farm was ended, a year long protest against 3 laws. the said left them was all and benefited by

corporations. how many the prime minister marines are mode the fund new to book the legislation in november 2021. right. and want to give her a fall was good day to morning me. i don't deed higher prices, i did this yet, the government set up a committee to address that. i'm, you know, i'm more of these meetings insincere. who had had one committee member see that considering a combination of policies to resolve longstanding issues, the mentor we have to remember one thing for for murdered is the, his crucial concern is the bottom line. what is he getting out of? so we have to ensure that forming remains web and for him without losing sight of music, that object is there. that's really the sort of negative ation and, and also the economic growth and for security. both indians live in rural areas and nearly half the working elation makes a living from agriculture. analisia policies need to be more inclusive. so i think

qualston by log with north pink at the national level, think of the local level, thinking that in the living state, governments need to be involved. local level activists that need to be in ward and pharmacy doesn't need to be trusted as, as, as stakeholders rather than as, as people who are, who will only disrupt those. endow and hold a general election in 16 months. and some observer, see, it could give farm was the upper hand in negotiations popping him at the loudest era. you, denny, countries from around the world have signed a deal to protect nature and promote conservation at the un biodiversity summit in canada. at least 30 percent of the world's land and marine areas have been put under protection by 2030. it's the most significant effort made by government so far. the deal also finances projects to save biodiversity in the developing world. but the u. s. is not signing the agreement, which is opposed by republicans while at the great barrier reef and australia,

the world's largest coral reef ecosystem. scientists have developed a method to freeze coral larvae in order to preserve them. the finding is timely, just a few weeks ago, a group of un backed scientists called for the great barrier reef to be added to a list of global heritage sites in danger. one of the reasons we want to freeze or the technical word is cry, preserve coral r v is that climate change is altering our reef. and if we can secure or save the bio diversity of coral and their genetic diversity, then we may have had tools for the future to really help restore the car as it is not. and releasing their gammy bundles inside. what they're doing at the moment is collecting them from the water and prepare it's called modern mesh technology, and it allows you to freeze and saw very rapidly being able to free
