a parade in honor of the football team officer. their world victory. and the heroes welcome from a rocker national football team. they just arrived home after making history at the world cup. the hello ukraine's president vladimir zalinski has honored his soldiers in bad moods, a city that's witness, some of the heaviest fighting with russians. local forces and john boss region have told al jazeera that the russian forces and their allies in bad moods have lost some of their positions on the southern side of the city, but continue to target the area. the southern city has been attacked relentlessly since ukrainian forces recaptured it in november. when you cranes energy facilities have been crippled by the russian strikes tro, stratford has more on the impact on ukrainians. this is one of more than 100 electric substations country wide across ukraine. and as you can see,

the level of destruction here, this particular substation has been hit in 3 separate attacks by 6 russian missiles . the software tell us that this electrical plant supplies around $600000.00 people with electricity, those people now having to undergo and ensure rolling blackouts as the substation tries to distribute as much power as it can obviously after these attacks. what's so interesting though, is that this, like many of those substations was built during the soviet era, this particular one in 1958. and that means that the russians know pretty much exactly how this grid works. and incredibly, it was only 4 hours before the invasion that the ukrainians, disconnected from the russian and bella, russian, electrical systems was like them. we'll see the july was where we all feel like we

are in the 1st line of energy defense. all ukrainians are looking at us with hope that we can return light and heat into their homes. with our teams are working round the clock, ignoring the freezing conditions. so much equipment has been destroyed and our company doesn't have enough spare parts to restore electricity to all civilians, all the time. ukraine's president followed him is zalinski. on december, the 13th said, restoring the country's progress could cost more than one point. $5000000000.00. damage then meant a short fall of $2.00 gigawatts. so that was before 2 more massive drone and missile bombardments targeted the countries energy infrastructure. as an example of just how well russia knows this electrical grid system. this was an electrical transformer and it's taken a direct hit. the staff here tell us that it contained 16 tons of oil and the

blaze after the bloss, they say, took around 5 hours to push out the substation. and more than $100.00, like it across the country, our own constant alert, they could be an attack at any time, the estimated cost of repairing the damage. here the stock tell us could be tens of millions of dollars. and this is just one of what the ukrainian authorities say is around a 1000 kamikaze drone and miss all attacks against vital infrastructure stations like this across the country. russia, the president has called on his security services, the search for spies and foreign intelligence services. in a video statement, whatever content also called on his security to protect the borders of russian antics areas of ukraine. really. and you're going to be that personally because we're naturally, especially i would like to mention the units of the security agencies that started operating in the new russian legions. yes, it's difficult for you now. the situation in the next can do 100 people's republics,

and the person who is parisha regions is extremely difficult. but the people living there, the citizens of russia rely on you and your protection. and it's your duty to do everything necessary to ensure their security rights and freedoms as much as possible. nurses in the u. k. are on the picket lines for the 2nd day. this mon, demanding better pay and conditions up to 100000 of them are taking part in the unprecedented strikes. joan, a whole reports from london, the college of nursing. the nurses union used to be violently n t strike action. nope anymore. it's been this nancy and they have no choice. i think it would take to face to face time ration. you can see that you're actually decreasing. i would, the cost of living is just another $1.00. the other go doing extra shift banks to make ends meet. but that ends, i mean, but you're more already doing. you know,

it wasn't long ago that the nurses were applauded on doorsteps up and down the country for their work saving lives during the pandemic. now they're quitting in record numbers because clapping as they charged doesn't pay the rent and nor does the 4 percent pay rise. currently on the table, vanessa is demanding substantially more as much as 19 percent to make up. they say for years of low pay that's failed to keep up with inflation. the government says the money just isn't there to give the nurse is what they want, as well as giving the national health service what it needs to survive. you can't have one without the other the say. and unless the government engages in paypal in the coming days, they would be more of this in the thing to come for a point. well, it's an existential french teachers and the collective around me. and i

think we are now committed to not just the basic pocket sustainable, and i chose to live in a capital city like london opinion polls suggest the public her on the nurses side . yeah. getting there support, despite the inevitable disruption being cause to know nurtured patient care, and that's uncomfortable for the government determined not to give in to striking workers. when increasingly being blamed for bringing the national health service to the verge of collapse. jonah whole al jazeera london argentina's world cup winning stars are being cheered by tens of thousands of fans at a victory parade in the capital one a series. but by captain lee and l messy, the team is making its way on an open bus to the city center. the government has

a national holiday because the murphy and the rest of the team won the while ago. this has been a bit controversial, mostly because there are several governors no to but that from other parts of the country who are saying that this does not have an impact on them. this may save you stop, be economy. that's what they're saying. and that's why they announce in their own progress is that they won't be respecting, gets here in the capital where no site is greater. why not? cited traffic is completely paralyzed because of the national team because of messy because of the boss and because of the millions of people that are on the streets and the other controversial thing that we've been seeing here is that traditionally or not traditionally back in 1980 thing, one moment i don't know one, the copy went to the presidential pilot in a beard on the terrace. i'm. that's how they might have showing that. well, we're not likely to see that happen. mostly because the agenda had been managed by the players and they have said that they do not want as well to be politicized. this country is highly polarized, like between 2 different parties that hate each other. they don't want to be stuck

in the middle. they have said, god, that we already heard some criticism from players criticizing the economic situation in the country. critics, i think the situation many of their a relative living and that's why not people here are speculating that they will not go to the presidential palace to meet the president. that could change for what we know right now. they're on the street on a bus, cheering a wood, the people expressing their joy, the happiness they feel the relief, especially leona murphy field after winning the world cup. and there's millions of people in this country out there. they want to show him their gratitude. all right, thank you so much. theresa. been reporting from brenda series while meanwhile morocco's national football team arrived back home a short while ago after making history at the world. the atlas lion stunned the football world by defeating european giant spain and portugal in the knockout face to become the 1st african, an arab country to make it to the semi finals and fans of lying the streets in

pushing this bus forward. so forwarding the national team as it moves forward. this team has brought so much joy not only to the people of morocco, to africans, to the arab world, and to millions of people, moroccans that live abroad. they live in france and belgium, in the united states, in a way that are away from their home. why? because this team of 11 players, most of them are dual national. they are half spanish, half moroccan, or half french, half moroccan. and there's a specific amount of fried to be received by their country of origin by their families. sense if there's a cousin coming back home from abroad, and that's the level of joy that we're seeing here on the streets of the capitol robot. and of course, this is led by this unsung hero. while lead rugby, the coach of the national team, who has really been able to unite this country,

this team and his words have resonated across morocco and its objective. next is to win the african cup of nation. there's a feeling that there before katara 2022, and then after retiring 22 that now anything is possible and they've shattered the glass ceiling. we hope to african teams to arab teams that they too can go forward in the world cup. and perhaps when i've taught, not only that, i think the coach has brought so much unity and also a symbol. we've seen players from africa and their ad wasn't working or playing in the euro believes, but we rarely seen an arab coach or an african coach head or manage a premiership club or in the working in the european league or the french league. and here we're seeing with the success of this team that anything is possible, not just for the players, but also for the coach. downstairs i saw little girl,
