training was launched in october in this city of karbala. this specially designed to both was donated by japanese charity creates a cracking sound to allow players to locate it. these sayers hoped to join football clubs and represent their country in competition, but other iraqi provinces don't have their own teams because there are only 5. elise specially designed both under contract reporting, especially in exclusive stories. explosive results, al jazeera investigations, ah fresh grows on germany to supply its level 2 tanks to ukraine. poland says it's ready to say without berlin's consent.

ah, 11 o'clock, this is out. is there a light from the also coming up? he's a brazilian president. mila da silva is in argentina and his 1st state visits and coming back to power have a live update. shops in darkness. hospitals surviving on generates his pakistan, scrambles to restore power to millions of people after a grid breakdown and defiant in the face of demolition. some villages in the occupied westbank refused to make way for more illegal settlement. so balin is coming under increased pressure to give the go ahead for the delivery of german made types. the ukraine heard and says it wants approval. send leopard to

tanks and it's been 3. it's been disgusted. amazing, if you foreign ministers in brussels, the need to consent of germany to send the tanks to a non native country. opponents prime minister says it was so we'll make it same decision. berlin does not permit to move this company, most likely. we will seek this approval from germany, but this is a secondary issue, but even if we don't get such an approval and the end we will give our thanks to looping anyway, within a small coalition of countries. even if germany isn't in that coalition. let's enough from dominant cane who's in berlin and has more on the german government's reaction. we know that the foreign minister of germany analynn bow bach on french t v yesterday was saying that no request officially had been received for the release of those tanks. but if such a request were to come and the government would not stand in the way of their being released. why does this need to be done? was quite simple when germany allowed the sale of these tanks to other countries around europe. there is a specific clause which says that the german government has to approve the re

export. that is sending of those tanks from the country they originally was sent to elsewhere beyond ne. so now clearly ukraine is not a ne, so country. therefore, german permission is required, and that's what the crux of this matter is. now, it is worth making the point, not just on lena bell, bach in the cabinet, but other cabinet colleagues have said that they think it would be fair for that to happen. but crucially, the decision about whether this happens or not is not their decision is the decision of all our shots, the chancellor, that he has been more reticent about committing to the release of these weapons systems without some kind of commitment from other country. specifically, the united states, it is worth making the point that to day we have seen certain elements patriot miss our systems and other things being sent from germany to poland, but not to ukraine. so again, the crux of this matter is, is all of shots prepared to allow those weapon systems to be released. and given

the fact, the polish government is putting pressure on him, that pressure is only growing, and it's also inside his own cabinet to will alhashan has worn out from oscar. was guy's been reacting to news of western weapon supplies to keep the deputy for melissa, sergey of jak. gov warned that these weapons are going to be destroyed by more school react. gov also down blade reports off, long range ballistic miss i supplied for the us to ukraine and said that this is an element of psychological warfare. no more has been over the past few days, escalating his position with respect to the weapon transfers. dmitri pascoe, the spokesperson for kremlin, said that this is taking the whole conflict on another level on that need to be involved in directly in it. this is kind of an attempt to a deepened that he looked and see on the european side may lead in germany, but to re up gov. he said that the u. s. ambassador to moscow,

the new ambassador will arrive within the coming days and issues between moscow and washington are going to be discussed with the new ambassador still on the diplomatic front, a more scholar announced that it's downgrading its relations with sonya following. colleen's downsizing of the you of the russian embassy them. on another note, the fs. be the russian foreign intelligence service, said that they have reliable sources. i'm stating that the ukranian army is a stock filing weapons and nuclear plant in ukraine. or rushes for a minister survey lever of his in south africa for talks. he's been meeting the for a minister there. lady pandora in pretoria. last week, south africa's military announced plans to hold joint exercises off its coast with china and russia. south africa was among the countries at abstain from voting in the u. n. to condemn russia's invasion of ukraine. we owe you

a favor in favor of fer useful resolution of disputes, and will be, will be bold was ready to discuss. negotiate with solution to any conflict with us. in september, president zalinski sank, signed the decree, break she bitching. all ukrainian officials to negotiate on anything with the russian federation. so i believe it is absolutely obvious as regards to the origin of the problem of lack of negotiations. our sincere wish that the conflict currently between russia and ukraine will soon be brought to a peaceful land through diplomacy and negotiation. as we believe this is the desire of all of us in the globe. let's head more now from for me to mila who is in

pretoria. this is sir lever off 2nd visit to the african continent in 6 months. and it's really about cementing relations with a number of african countries, including south africa. now officially, south africa has said that it remains neutral with regard to the conflict in the ukraine and the role that russia is played out. but meeting such as this one, as well as a visit of south africa's defense minister to russia. last year, a number of ricks meetings coming up, as well as naval exercises between russia, south african china, due to take place in february may suggest otherwise in that south africa is willing to hear what russia has to say around how it wants to develop its relations. with african countries and the emphasis was very much been on back to break, scooping that so group made up of result, russia, india, china, and south africa. we've also heard from south africa's foreign minister saying that that grouping should play a greater role. they should be mechanisms put in place for that grouping to play

a great to role in terms of a global safety and security of south africa, has refrained from condemning russia's actions in the ukraine. and just how influential south africa might be, of course, is debatable, but it really is about creating friends and allies, a kind of cementing that relationship with new friends and allies, old friends and allies that might have been lost after the break up of the soviet union and re engaging those countries as an alternative to the west. we russia is increasingly isolated and criticized. no, brazilian president lewis nazi looted to silver is in argentina for his 1st international visit since returning to office vicki life, which was right now, lula been meeting the argentinian president, alberta fernandez, they'll be discussing the creation of a common currency for the latin american region at belt both meet other leaders from the region for a summit on choose day. let's bring in to raise a bow,

who joins us now from warner zera's outside the argentinean, president's office st. theresa, this is all about mending ties and strengthening relations as well. that's correct. lucy nasty, let a feel of resilient preference. i know about it before a member right here in the presidential palace of signing all sorts of agreements between argent, tina, and brazil. it's not a coincidence that this new less 1st international trip for tradition in brazil or brazilian preference to come to our tina. and that tradition was broken during the governments of former president john phone. either if you just mentioned, who will be participating here in what is known as the summit of a latin american and caribbean countries in an attempt to build bridges with other parts of the countries in the region. new lat did not attend. for example, they devil economic form,

but instead decided to come here to want to fight if to participate in this summit that will be happening here on tuesday along the agreements that are going to be announced between argentina and brazil are all for so 1st for t d could not make agreements defense agreements, but also the possibility of establishing a currency between argentina and brazil, argentina economy ministers said that they would also invite other countries in the region to participate. but you know, this is something that could take a long, long time. there's been discussions in the past of the possibility of creating such a current currency, but political stability and macroeconomic problems in a way made this much, much, much more complicated. but aside from all disagreement, what is important right now is this meeting that's happening in argentina with over 30 countries from this part of the world. that in a way many of them are from the left or from the center left. and this for many opens up the possibility of much more integration, right,

and lula. as you just said, taking part in his meeting, it all takes place to meet the venezuelan president, right? well, we're going to have to see what happens with that. it's interesting to know that back in 2019 president, i either was when i deal with the do brazil from this stomach that is happening right here. and that's why when you la to coffee immediately announced that rhythm was coming back. and the reason why both when we move was, was because of the presence of cuba and venue way that we do know that the cuban president is already here. we weren't cited that's not a doubt about what will happen within the last minute or earlier today. that was 1000000000. government announced that that meeting between noon and nicholas was going to be happening later on. we had that that meeting was cancelled. so the trip by nickel, i'm going to win a fight if it's still in question. many are telling us that he's going to come, but it's also rounded in lots of secrecy and secrecy because of what's happening also in venezuela and because of the situation in the country. you know,

in the past 2 years in an attempt to control the hyper inflation, i 1000000 percent hyperinflation in venezuela forced thousands and thousands of people out of the country. the government has started to implement some of theory p measures. and what we're seeing in, in many parts of it, is that right now we're protest from the tweet by teachers and doctors and many others from unions who are saying that they cannot make and beat up. their salaries are between $1015.00 or $20.00 a month. and they desperately need help, so there's also a fight from the economic situation in the country. there's also ongoing conversations between the opposition and governance will and government that could lead to elections later on in the next a few years. so what many are saying is that the people that have spoken to are saying that they would like the color to come, even though this races, you know, lots of tensions between the identity and government, and the opposition, because they believe that nicola is

a dictator. but what many believe is that the presence of nicola in argentina, talking to fears from this part of the, was suddenly find a solution or, you know, way clear a path towards dialogue in venezuela right now, when, of course, the presence of rule and that possibility of meeting left will have said that he in a way supports a democratic alternation of powers in venezuela and that that's something that he would like to see. and for many that's why the presence of my little enough comments such as this one would be very, very important. all right, that's a picture, but as there is a treasure, thank you. power is being restored to large parts of pakistan after failure of the electricity grid left millions in the dark businesses and hospitals have been hits as the national grid went down early on monday. 40 say getting the whole system back online could take several hours to my to is in as i'm about and has more for the 2nd time since there's new government doke power in april after the award of no

confidence against them. ron con, the country has seen a major breakdown in the country, electricity power system. today, august on experienced yet another outage, the 2nd and they have gotten the affected life across the country where the steel woke head in islamabad. they depend on electricity, so they can use their vending machines and relatives be able to cut that steve. but as you can see, these people are just waiting for electricity to return and admins a lot. so for days rages, they cannot afford to go bob for it spiraling inflation. anyways, nobody believe me. i have got a year since morning. we are waiting for the trustees that we could start our daily chores. unfortunately, there isn't any hope and that has made us worry about how we will make our livelihood for the day. i'm not, i'm not barney. i only do it monday, which i the board. what is on we are all daily wage earners, and our work is totally dependent on electricity,

as it is controlled from one office and we have 9 distribution companies in the country or 10 or whatever it is. whether we were the management outsource, whether we were to privatize whether we will work out something with the better with the federal government in the provinces. the discourse needs to be fixed, but indeed a warning trying for the people of pockets on and origin power that the country can not afford to lose electricity or in such a large scale, depriving tens of millions of papers of electric power still had here and algebra another blow to view case conservative party prime minister issues tonight, which is an investigation into the tax affairs of the party chairman and japan's shrinking population honest afternoon. she says this countries on the brink of not being able to function ah

say now from nadine baba has moved in london. richie sooner has said that he's asked his independent ethics advisor to actually look into the case saying in mister c. next words, there are questions that need answering. a statement has come out in the last few hours from the dean's or how we welcoming what he calls the prime minister or ministers refer to this matter too. so to say lori magnus and his team, he says he is confident that he acted properly throughout, looks forward to cooperating, but very much insisting that he's staying in his position. now, the investigation senses around reports that a dispute between the dean's or how we and her majesty's revenue and customs was resolved last summer when the teams or how we was actually chancellor of the exchequer. and in effect in charge of h m r c. the report saw that he paid around $6000000.00, including

a 30 percent penalty for not disclosing everything that he should have done. now the, the, the tax was allegedly related to shares. but nadine, how we, how did you go of the famous polling company which he helped to set up. and it's been reported that the money that he gained was actually put in a gibraltar base trust, where his father is a director. the dean's a how we again refuse any suggestion that he acted dishonestly. police in the state of california say the main suspect in a mass shooting has been found dead. 72 year old who country can shut himself as he was cornered in a car park. officers believe he opened fire at a ballroom dance studio in the town east of los angeles. on saturday, kelly, at least 10 people to buttons population is shrinking, much faster than forecast decline. and so rapid, in fact,

that the prime minister says the country might not be able to continue to be a functioning society. the number of bus is fallen every year for more than a decade. that's a common trend in developed countries, but it is particularly serious in japan because almost 30 percent of the 125000000 population or elderly. some of the many reasons behind the population decline include rising living costs and more choice for when the government says it will urgently introduce more child friendly policies. in an effort to try and reverse the trend or l was that to as journalistic, japan ford and says, bo, japan is not alone and having a failing population, it's facing unique challenges. what is the particular about japan? that is the proportion of the population that is over $65.00, and therefore is putting a financial stress on the budget. but just on a country that has to sustain what is now becoming an increasing part of the

population that will not be working. and it will not be contributing to the productive workforce. you know, there's a lot of repercussions for society, the cost, the it, the economy has to reshape itself. you to the demographic shifts like there's going to be a lot of things that need to change. and hence, not function as the prime minister said. he spent a very long time talking about young families and breaks for those who do decide to have children. and this includes like several demographics families, but also for example mothers. and i think actually this is not just to deal with the declining birth rate, which is obviously the important thing in the agenda. but it's also a little bit learning from the pandemic because these are also some of them are graphics and stuff at the most. during the economic upheaval that happened during the 19th, but quite apart from that, he also specifically mentioned for example, financial breaks for those who have kids in schools or you know,

for education purposes and so on. so there's several things that i think will be addressed in this. essentially, it is financial breaks though to make it easier to raise children. celebrations for the lunar new year are happening around the world. people in hong kong are offering the year of the rabbit for the 1st time since the beginning of the covered $900.00 pandemic. the territory as well as me hundreds of thousands of vistas from mainland china. jessica washington reports now from honeycomb at hong kong. won't i soon? temple felt as a welcoming the year of the rabbit. this temple is well known for its fortune telling practice, known as called him. most visitors come here with hopes for the coming year. i'm here to pray for luck on like i wish to have good health and more money and stay happy with my girlfriend. with political unrest and the pandemic recent years have been difficult for hong kong, and the territory is now in a shop economic downturn. but many want to put all that behind. then this is the

1st learning new year holiday since hong kong east. most of it's covered 19 regulation temples around the city, a resuming constant that went aloud when pandemic rule was still in place. worshippers and visitors returned to this temple since we started its practice of burning incense this week. i think a descriptor if the matcher, if before do the new year so that people can celebrate together at west calhoun station, thousands of people from mainland cities crossing the border with hong kong for the 1st time in 3 years. a san id, it's law. we visited many times before to pandemic. one we come from chanson and we love hong kong. the ro, network suspended operations in january 2020, and only resumed them this month. family. we are here to visit our family in hong kong. i haven't seen them for 3 years, and i missed them. economists say the recovery for industries hit hard by the

pandemic won't happen overnight. but there's reason for some optimism, this great thing, a confidence that when the mobility is that it be like a retail sectors growing mall growing and also supporting the business that already has been 3 years suffer from the pandemic. as people gather the festivities with their families, many a hoping this year will be much better than the last. jessica washington out to sierra hong kong. ah, so this is our desert, these are the top stories in berlin is coming under increased pressure to give the go ahead for the delivery of german made tanks to ukraine. is being discussed at a meeting of e. u foreign ministers in brussels. poland says it would like the consent of germany to send the tanks to a non data country for warsaw says it will make its own decision but it doesn't permit move.
