ah, we begin with breaking news from iraq. at least 4 people have been killed in a stampede in the city of basrah, just 2 hours before it is due to host the final of a regional football tournament. it took place at bands re international stadium up to 80, others are reportedly injured. oh sir, rock where'd you to take on a man in the arabian gulf comp final later on thursday, let's bring in a mock, moaned abdel, why head, who joins us on the phone from baz wrote with more muff mood. what more do we know about these deadly insolence? well, this is a town t happened in front of the gate of the main. the stadium here, located for hosting defined that much to be held between

a rock and some people who had does not have tickets. i've tried to push in order to enter the from the front gate according to sources and stadium security sources. now we know that the stadium, paul, in the chunks tedium, is filled to capacity. as you know, that this is a stadium that has only a capacity of 65000. you know, because this is the 1st time iraq host is such a tournament. and buffalo especially, probably has not been fully prepared to cost such an event. so security in the province of above have been calling on people to refrain from any pushing at the gate. the tedium mendecy is cooling on the plans to refrain from heading towards this port to city. that's where the

sunk upon the fun stadium is. meanwhile, the prime minister, i'm sure that he was a ride in bus shows, the has met with the officials and the governor of basra. he is to look into the incident and in this, in the meantime, in the meantime, he has been calling on the fans to cooperate with the security forces protection courses assigned with securing the area around there. upon a trunk stadium. my hood is, what more can you tell us? i mean, it's early days. it's only been a couple of hours since the incident took place. but what more can you tell us about why this unfolded and what if any investigations have shown or led to

well, that has been an issue that has been an issue about tickets as you know, that according to the key football association that about 90 percent of the tickets, the tickets were already sold online, had kick off that has made many for mad fans, especially iraq is furious and they have been trying to take mottos into the on have a day want they want. they wanted to head to this posted city to the on the trunk stadium, to push and to it in sort of through the gate support team. but this is according to pushing the wrong way because the capacity of the stadium is only $65000.00 pounds. and it's now thing to capacity according to source of a football federation, now at the stadium meet. meanwhile, the structure,

as you know, that bus has been suffering for me is neglect. and this is the fittest regional event to be. so in buffalo indicates the situation or iraq, you put the situation now calling on old, found to refrain from violence, to refrain from pushing at the gate. the problem with the tickets also is positive . the reason that led to this situation, especially that has been that has been black mark has been black market. people have been coming from several a rocky provinces for longer was driving on dollars to come here to support their teeth. but give them the fact that this incident has happened. we, we do not know for certain whether or not this will impact the claims of today's matching. the final, which is expected to miss a lot. going ahead to again again is that remains to be seen probably in the common

all right, what hours. okay, we'll make sure you let us know when you hear what's happening with that much. mock wound up. why had life for us in best for israeli forces have killed 2 palestinians during a ride in the occupied westbank that was shot in a refugee camp in the northern city of jeanine. one of the victim cancelling identified as john was for read by walk. a teacher at a local school, the other was ad jabbering a fine her with the janine brigades, resistance group, those days violence takes the number of palestinians killed by israeli forces in this month to 17. or let's bring in iran con, who joined the live now from ramallah. him run. with say, news riley forces conduct kneeling nightly rides. what happened to me, the latest one while the rates had place about 230 bare between 230 and 3.

and when it started and finished, just before daybreak, israeli forces the special operations forces backed by the israeli army, went into jeanine refugee camp. there was a fire fight that took place and that's where the 25 year old was killed. the 57 yeoman, effectively a civilian was also killed during that time frame as well. the fuels for those 2 men are actually taking place right now. there are hundreds of people out on the streets are following the funeral procession as it goes to lay them into their final resting place. there's a lot of anger in the air. there's a lot of anti israeli slogans being chanted and a lot of frustration from people there as, as well because these raids are taking place as you say on a nightly basis. now that there have been 17 people that have been killed so far the share that's nearly one a day. 9 of those people have actually been killed in jeanine refugee camp itself. and there's a real sense of jeanine refugee camp being under almost constant siege by the

israelis a good it comes to night full. a lot of the people, their ordinary civilians, not gunman. the gunman are in a minority, there. worry for their life every time night falls, they don't know what nights will bring an ram. what are these rise intentions in the west bank being put down to successive israeli government policies is basically what the palestinians are telling us that they facts that they feel like they are under threats constantly within the camps themselves. or that there's a hard line government in israel right now. there is in no mood to negotiate with the palestinians. the far right of that government is openly hostile, openly races to the palestinians, and that's leading to a lot of the young people who have never seen their an hatched ancestral homes that they families have at a flea from in some cases, only a couple of hours away of the road, the knife of example, they've never seen those homes and they've taken up arms. and so it's almost

a self fulfilling prophecy. the policies take up arms because they're frustrated that there is no peace process. there is the negotiations. there's nothing that they can do. they want to defend the homes that they've got in this refugee camp. and these rallies therefore, see those gunman taking up arms and they go and try and get rid of those guns it's, it's in a never ending spiral. so although we have seen her 2022 years being the deadliest year, the deaths of palestinians are in the last 15 years. this year, people are expecting things to be, if not worse than much the same. all right, thanks so much for bringing up the spade in ran can live press bay in ramallah. one of the longest held in palestinian israeli prisoners is back home after 4 decades behind bars. there was celebrations in the village of ira to welcome home my hug eunice, he and his cousin kareem were convicted of kidnapping and killing,

including 12 women and 6 children have been discovered in the village of near mamba another gray with the bodies of 7 men was discovered in the village of bogey. both locations are about 30 kilometers east of when ya in the tory province. peacekeepers lodge to patrol to the area immediately after receiving reports of attacks on civilians by the codec. o malicious over the weekend. this is when they made the gruesome discoveries when disco supporting the congolese judicial system to investigate the tax and cause for the perpetrators to be brought to justice. plenty morehead on this new sour, including a president. she jin ping is concerned about the cobra. maintain situation in rural china as many as millions travel home for the loan a new year. and somali is a worst drought in 40 years, is prompting fees of disease outbreaks in makeshift camps. ah,

it's the 2nd last day of the world economic forum in divorce with the fame being cooperation in a fragmented world. let's bring in our diplomatic editor james base, who's there for us covering the form. james, bring us up to speed as to what's been happening. well they discuss a lot of the tension we've had in the previous days, has actually been on military issues on, on ukraine. but all the issues of the world are discussed here including humanitarian issues. in fact, you see all the humanitarian organizations, new and agencies coming here to discuss these issues because it's an important place where they can gather where the camille business leaders and meet political leaders. one of those is executive director of unicef, catherine russell, who joins me now. thank you for joining us here. come out. i think the most important thing for us to perhaps focus on is a situation in afghanistan because one of your top officials,

the un deputy secretary general, is in afghanistan and you have a pretty desperate situation with regard to women. are you hopeful about her visit to after the storm? well, i think it helps to have such a high level of it that we ought to have the humanitarian coordinator going in next week. so there's a persistent effort on the, on the part of the you and to convince officials there that they have to allow women to work there. so many of the people in need are women and children. and we need women to be able to work with them if we wanna make any difference in the country. because if you look at afghanistan, i'm and i 1st went there before the western into intervention in 2001. and in terms of women and children, it was a desperate situation. the maternal mortality rates, the infant mortality rates, the rip many would say, there were lots of criticisms of cars i and gone years. but those were positives, worldly, there definitely were positives and i think it demonstrated that we can make a difference there. we were able to lower the, the maternal mortality raise. we got so many more children in school. we definitely

were seeing progress and that's why it's so crushing. now to see what's happening to this country, and i think we all need to rally around and do the best we can. so tell me now in terms of women in afghanistan and girls in afghanistan, the work you do, how is that impacted? because you and staff are female staff are still operating. they're not. but all your partners, the, and joe's the aid agencies, their female staff, in most cases aren't allowed to work. what is that right? yes. and what happens is we are able to work for now the, you and agencies other there are rumors all the time that that may change for the women. and it's, it's even though our women can go to work, it's difficult for them because they don't really know how safe they are going. you know, they get all sorts of pressure from their families, not to do it because it's, it's very precarious situation. you could run into one person who says you can't be out in public and you don't really know what's gonna happen. so even for us, it's very challenging. i think we worked very closely with organizations there and a quarter of the organizations are altogether shut down and unable to do their work

because they rely on women. others are able to and in some ways, but it's very difficult. and as i said, we work with women and children, it's hard to do that. if you're a man right, it's much easier to get into these communities. if you're a woman and i think we are, we are hopeful that we'll be able to but i can't sound very optimist, very difficult to the intellectual community. i know you briefed the un security council last week in a closed session of the taliban though care it seems about recognition and legitimacy. the only thing the international community engages on is humanitarian help. and clearly, if you were to stop that, to try and punish the taliban, that would punish all the people of afghanistan yet. you know, it's very interesting. he said, because it is a, there are some indications that they do want recognition from others. for unicef as a humanitarian agency, we have no role in that where we are completely a political, non partisan. we just try to help, but it's very difficult when the humanitarian lever is the only lever. because then there are, you know, sort of efforts to try to use that as a cudgel in

a political context. and we can't do that. we have to be able to help people whenever we can, and at any cost. and we try to do that as best we can there, tell me what would happen if they were to stop female, you and workers. i know your colleagues, the emergency relief coordinator of the you and martin griffith said the un might after curtail all its operations. is that your worst case scenario? yes, the it and it's not that we would want to, but we just couldn't do it right now. they've carved out health workers and that's because they want to say they don't one male health workers, you know, taking care of women who live there. if our health workers couldn't work. if we still have women who are teaching and what we call community based education settings, if none of those women could work, it would be devastating to a place that's already ravaged by what's happened. catherine, russia, brussel, the executive director of you. the said, thank you so much for joining us today on al jazeera, as i say, a strange mix. you haven't a devil smotts of criticism. all was of devils in the business and the elite, but there's a lot of humanitarian workers aid workers. you had agencies for

a find this is useful form to be able to speak to people to get things done. or i, james, we appreciate they, those in science has always diplomatic editor james base live for us in death else . ah, he cranium, president, valero me. zalinski says there are several theories for wednesdays helicopter crash, which killed the interior minister. 14 people died when the aircraft came down next to a kindergarten in the town of bravery on the outskirts of cave. meanwhile, the kremlin says, the sooner ukraine, except russia's demands, the sooner the conflict there could end. let's bring in ali hashim, who joins us live now of from moscow early as we head to the war, reaching that one yema the messaging from russia isn't wavering.

well, moscow is also saying more and more about this war because it's kind of overwhelmed with this war. the presidential spokesperson best cove also said that trans fat and weapons to ukraine, to strike russia. we'll bring this war into and you level, you also commented on some comments by the deputy chairman of russia. national security council. didn't you meet bit of who spoke about the possibility of the nuclear war in case a nuclear power loses? this was that that was and he was kind of commenting on what was being said in douglas, according to med fiscal, said that this goes along with the russian and nuclear doctrine. so today we have 2 main statements, one from the school saying that a transferring weapons to strike, russia will bring the conflict to a new level. dimitri mid bed of saying that if russia loses this war of a new,

or if a nuclear power loses the war, then this is going to ignite and nuclear war. and this is kind of an escalated narrative from the russian side, but it goes along with the whole situation and what's going on in the battle fields and what's going on on the political field. all right, thank you very much. ali hashem land for a stay in moscow that head to the front lines of eastern ukraine where a fierce battle is taking place to control the city of banquet and its surrounding areas. most of its residents have fled, but some have stayed behind with a little food, no water, and no electricity finance and spring in charles stratford, who joins me live now from just outside and back. not child that you've been in that area now for close to 2 weeks. how have things changed and developed over that time and what's happening on the ground there today?

it's fair to say that things of actually changed quite dramatically in certain areas around by mote in the last 3 or 4 days, as you say, we are outside the city and i am looking to my left in the direction of a town called cuz she lived care which is to the south east of bar mote. that is seeing some of the heaviest fighting we spoke to ukrainian military drone operators in this area in the last hour or so. they were flying drones over casually of care . and they were saying that the russians were very much inside that town where the russians are claiming that they have control full control of cache live care. but of course we cannot independently confirm that. but one of the, the reason why that is important is because that is to the southeastern, it is part of this effort by russian forces to surround bar mood. we know that in recent days they have had great success in and around the town. solid are to the north of bar moot,

and they are continue also to push in from the east. what they're trying to do, as i say, is around the city and cut off the road that is behind me. there's a lot of ukrainian artillery positions in this area in the last hour or so we've heard what we understand could well be russian fighter jets attacking positions in the valleys in front of me here. there's a lot of smoke, roy sink in that valley that i can see. we've also seen cloud bursts. am on the horizon there, and flashes we understand could well be tank positions being taken out. but again, we cannot confirm that. so yeah, there are lot of moving parts and there are concerns certainly, according to the soldiers that we spoke to approaching these drones, that russians indeed are making gradual gains in and around this area to the south east of boss moot. and as you described in the interview, incredibly, there are still a couple of 1000 people, at least inside apartment,

still living there. that was a population before the war of around 70000. we were inside bar mote yesterday and listen to some of their stories. and his, our report, ah, these people endure a level of suffering that is difficult to imagine. most the old, many have emotional a psychological problems. their families live far away will flip the fighting months ago, what they brave the shelling to come here. the soup to charge their phones. oh rushes bombardment of mood is getting heavier by the day. the think of the roy certainly that there was my neighbor was killed in her cellar. she burned alive. i fled my home 4 days ago during the fighting. i had to crawl along the street to escape. there was an explosion. 2 meters away from me with us you will have to destroy central town is almost completely deserted. russian forces are only around

a kilometer away. the artillery explosions are relentless. some people wait patiently in the cold, risking their lives desperate for food that humanitarian aid with others are so hungry they seem oblivious to the danger of simply standing outside. yeah, yes, that i cannot get all the 8 i need without documents and they all burned when my house was hit on the other side of the river. mary, the people here on the western side of town, again to food distribution centers in these make shift shops, we understand that the majority of the heaviest fighting is the know the east and increasingly the southeast of the city. but of course, there is no way safe and bought. most of the people who lived in these plants have fled, retired engineer, victor kasey, ankle leaders upstairs. he and his wife,

galena and mother in law are the only people left in their apartment block. but 93 year old maria, lise, wrapped under blankets in the dark, young, frail and afraid she wants to see her son, but he lives across the front line in russian occupied territory. that is lamoya woodruff, as i thorough fayetteville, i'm not my life was good before the war. she says we built a nice house. we had everything. but then the fighting started. one picture shows us where they stole rainwater. the drinking has been no water, electricity in buck mort. for months he worked in the oil industry for 25 years before the breakup of the soviet union. and so is entitled to a russian pension is mit here. i know if there was a corridor to where my brother in law lives that we would try to leave,

or if we could get to moscow or st. petersburg, we're a sons live, but we don't have any money because we can't get our russian pensions anymore. we're bought, not most people stop living above ground months ago. ludmilla and 5 other people, the sheltering in his basement. honda horseless, doran. let's make me i didn't know what the shelling us got much worse in the last couple of days. i'm too afraid to leave the cellar oppressed and promised that he would liberate don boss by new year. but it never happened. life before the war is nothing but a memory for these people. surviving the nightmare inflicted on them is all they can hope for now. shall stratford al jazeera bos mode. still head down al janera beneath the jungles of guatemala and ancient road network sheds light on the sacred secrets of mine. in school at manchester, united stand by

a leg equalizer is a missed a chance to move seconds in the planning. ah with we set some records across some spots of europe. we'll get into those details in one set. but 1st, the set up, i see by the way, we're dried up warmer air from the south. so for turkey and greece temperatures while above average. ok. now on to those records we painted on the colors dark of the yellow in the orange, the higher the temperature, bucharest, $20.00. that's a new record for january. but check this out. i think you could set another record here on thursday with the high of 21 degrees. some big downpours along the coast of albanian speaking a big, big waves for america, spain and the valley. eric islands here got up to about 4 or 5 meters high. this

all had to do with the powerful winds blowing through here the most active weather around the bay, biscayne northwest, spain and northern portugal, still weather alerts and play for ice and snow across ireland and britain. those temperatures by day a few degrees above freezing, but by night sub 0. so certainly some icey, roads and sidewalks, with all that act of weather in the western mediterranean. it's unsettled for the northwest of africa, rain and wind here. and we've got a tropical storm that's made line fall in northern madagascar. i think the worst of the rain here will be north and east of antenna and a riva in time. temperature is up in durban with the high of 30 degrees on thursday season. ah, the world economic forum returns to dabble in january to assess the global economy, reshaped by the pandemic, and the war and new crime can lead us from government and business, prevent a promised decade of action. becoming a decade of uncertainty,

ah hello. watching al jazeera, i'm emily ang, when he's a reminder of our top stories this hour, at least 4 people have been killed and up to 80 injured in a stampede at a football stadium in the iraqi city of bathroom. it happened ahead of the final of the arabian gulf comp, between iraq and demand. israeli forces have killed 2 palestinians during a ride and the occupied west bank. that was shocked in the janine refugee camp in the north. this brings a number of palestinians killed by israeli forces. in this month to 17 and united nations peacekeepers say they have discovered bodies of more than 40 people in mass graves, in eastern democratic republic of congo. there were found in its syrian province after violence attacks of the weekend blamed own local level groups.

in france nationwide strikes against president, manuel microns proposed pension referrals are underway. the government announced plans to raise the retirement age by 2 years to 64. unions have joined protest, as st. move is an assault on the welfare system. railways schools and refineries will be affected by workers walking off the job. micron says the change is needed to ensure the pension system remains viable. but in a recent poll, 80 percent of those surveys were against it. at the moment, the retirement age is 62 lower than many developed countries. the plan is to raise it to $64.00 by the year 2013. to qualify a worker who currently needs to contribute to the system for 42 years will have to contribute for 43 or 44 years. minimum pension for low income workers who have

worked full time throughout their careers will be increased by about $100.00 a month. 285 percent of the net minimum wage, about $1300.00 a month for him to leave will now be included in the pension calculation from our analysis on this. so let's bring in an elizabeth moutain, who is a political columnist for the telegraph and joins us from paris. and elizabeth, thanks so much for being on this news hour before we get on to today's strikes, explain why the unions have describe these reforms as an assault on the welfare system. what do they mean by that? what they're saying is that the generous french welfare system in the view is being eroded by a slew incremental measures. in the past 25 to 30 years, i have led to the average pension being a lower than it used to be in absolute terms. and this is perfectly true this,

this reform is one of several revolves that was won by allergy in 1095. that was when, by nicholas of course he was, there was one under oswald, every precedent looks at the, at the pension reform and sees that we have an unsustainable problem. we have a pay as you go system, which means that of people who are at work pay for people who have already retired . it's not like attention bought. and in 1046, when this was created, you had 8 people working to pay for the pension of one pensioner that has change. we now have something like 2 people pay for $1.00 pension or which of both ms. unsustainable. but only other hand, the feeling among the workers in france and, and the unions is that this reform is essentially a pushing people to work longer when they will not find jobs. because in france, unemployment problems for them always have structural employment, you know,

between 8 and 10 percent. and also because french employers find people off to 50 anyway. so what they say is we are causing people to her a worse life, with no jobs available for them not to retire from. and, and elizabeth were just saying some live pitches of the strikes that are happening across the country at the moment. it's just after 11 am in paris. how it strikes impacting the city. right. no, such is pretty empty. i mean if you look behind, this is the street of the just behind me. normally it's got lots of call home king . you feel that you hear people in the street, but many french people have decided to work from home rather than break the complication of transport for the strike that followed about 70 by 70 percent of a education system in refineries, but in public schools. and so you got this sort of difference that we already already knew from coded, whereas in some jobs,

not the best pe jose you in those jobs, you call it all, you know, you got work from home, you got difficult jobs. restrooms, driving calls in trade, and these, all these other people follow have to come and the others have just stayed home. and of course, it's not just happening in paris, stays alive, pitches from must say, as well in france, what's happening across the country before we let you go? and elizabeth, just quickly tell us a little bit about the full out that's likely to occur in terms of microns presidency. i mean, this is obviously a key policy issue for him. and people have that have been polled a largely unhappy with his decision. i think that he will pass his reform because he has made a deal with the conservative party the victory because the former she hearkened suckers, he bought it and they will vote for the gold of the bill in parliament. probably

after some amendments. i mean, a huge amount of amendment, several tens of thousands of amendments have been tabled by m. p. 's of everywhere . but still it's, it's likely that the bill will pass with a few changes. but today he in turn of his ministers, are away in madrid, whether signing a treaty of corporation, specific precheck between france and spain. and it is not in the optics a terrible is as if he was turning it back to worries from, from the people in the streets and people who worried about aging in a decent conditions. we really appreciate you are giving your thoughts and analysis on this. thanks so much for your time. and elizabeth moore, take a political columnist for the telegraph. thank you. batch. our top story now. and the stampede at a football stadium in the iraqis city of basrah. that's bringing muffled abdel why head, who joins us alive from ne that stadium where this occurred. mac mood,

any word, any further information about the death toll and the dozens of people that were critically injured. while emily, the number of dead, has risen to 4 cases and also 20 other suffocation cases are as will as a 80 around 80 injured. you are due to this to impede that happened today in front of the gate of the panama trunk stadium. the main stadium allocated for hosting the final match between iraq and oman. later today, now, the fans who have been a gathering get in front of the gate have responded to the calls by security forces by the interior ministry, and by the prime minister. how much he answered any and they have a started pulling out from the area from there, the, from the in front of the gate,

from the vicinity of their pardon, a trunk stadium. as you know that this is the fittest time the city of basra, an air is hosting this a tournament and it, iraq is many football fans have been coming from other iraqi provinces, heading that way or towards the upon the truncate stadium. as you know, the problem is targeted with tickets and for us to place a about 90 percent of tickets or sold the lion ahead of a kick off. that has made many football, mat fans especially iraq, is furious to take their own way towards the gate. they try to push and enter the stadium by air force. now security forces have called on the idea that not letting any fans entering as the stadium is now filled to capacity. as you can see behind me,

you can probably see the security forces are called dawning the area. they're putting your checkpoint that they're not letting any more fans entering get in the area that they haven't. fans have started to pull out from the idea, responding to the coals from the interior ministry and also the iraqi football association. also has been calling on fans to refrain from any violence and talk rate to corporate with the security forces in order to guarantee this event goes, as mostly as it's hoped for. okay, we have to leave it there. thanks so much for bringing us up today to mac mont abdullah head lie press e net at bathroom use. ellen's prime minister. jacinta, i don't says she stepping down next month up to 5 and a half years in office. she was widely praised for uniting the country after the christ church mosque attack. in 2019,

the top restriction she placed at the beginning of the corona virus pandemic had been credited for keeping the death toll relatively low e zealand. but the cost of living crisis, an unofficial election pledges had caused arden's popularity to decline in recent months. this summer i had hoped to find a way to prepare, not just for another year, but another tune. because that is what this year requires. i have not been able to do that. and so today i'm announcing that i will not be seeking re election. and then my tim as prime minister will conclude no later than the 7th of february. and when hey has worn out from oakland? the announcement from jacinta ra durn that she would be resigning, came as a complete surprise to every one in new zealand. it wasn't that long ago after all

that she said she would definitely be seeking a 3rd term in office when the election is held this year. and that was the other big announcement from her that the election date has been set for the 14th of october this year. she of course will not be contesting that election. in fact, she says she will be in office no longer then february the 7th. so the labor party caucus will now meet this coming sunday to vote in a new party leader and prime minister. and that person will go on to contest that election. the timing of this announcements is interesting, and the main reason that she's given full resigning is that it's simply time or that she feels she doesn't have what it takes anymore at to lead the country to go for a 3rd term and office. but her popularity, according to opinion polls had been declining, and there was a growing sense that it would become increasingly difficult for her at to win that election, the closer we got to it. so how will she be remembered despite those declining

numbers in the opinion polls, she'll go down in history, i think out fairly well in terms of her memory. she'll be remembered as a crisis. prime minister, one who was able to communicate very well, particularly in some of museums darkest times. as she led ye zealand through of course the mosque shootings and christ church in 2019 the for cardi white island volcanic eruption later. that same year that claimed the lives of $22.00 people. and of course, the coven 19 pandemic when she led out what was regarded as a world leading response to that crisis. but increasingly, new zealand is felt that the government began to overreach. the longer the pandemic went on an effect, the since was rightly or wrongly at that while the rest of the world was reopening you zealand was taking too long to do so that history will judge her again as a leader who was able to handle some of new zealand, darkest moments, perhaps better than any one else could have. years of insecurity in widespread
