their own voices, the 70s in the arab world stage and screen on al jazeera. when the news breaks, when people need to be heard and the story told incredible what more people were injured or killed, this is eve on the ukrainian capital, with exclusive interviews. and in depth report a lot more than $2000000000.00 that might could have addressed. nigeria is going by the deficit. and widespread al jazeera has teens on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and lied, loves router ah, tortured and jailed for more than 16 years. maggi khan is released from guantanamo bay, the 1st resettlement under the burden administration. ah,

lauren taylor, this is al jazeera alive from london, also coming up in key the pledge to target russia with more sanctions. letting me put in warns european intervention will be punished. shall announce his record breaking profits in nearly $40000000000.00 fueled by uncertainty in the energy market because of the war and ukraine and the united states would expand its presence in the philippines with us forces granted access to for more military caps . ah, hello, a long time in guantanamo detainees who was tortured at c, i a black sites and jail for more than 16 years has been released. 42 year old, magical was given into the custody of authorities in belize to the,

to our flight for the u. s. navy base in guantanamo bay. cuba khan was arrested and focused on by us forces in 2003. he was suspected of planning an attack on us soil for all kind of con peter guilty to terrorism related charges. his release is the 1st under the biden administration. there are still $3040.00 attorneys at the guantanamo. a detention facility was. jordan is live 1st in washington dc. so what, what do we know about this? well, mac khan isn't the 1st person who has been released from guantanamo bay during the byte administration. 5 other men who had been held at the military prison had been repatriated, but con has been re settled. as you noted in the central american country of billings. the country apparently approached the u. s. government as a humanitarian gesture, to help con, who said he had deep remorse for his actions in pakistan after the september 11th

attacks. and was trying to make a fresh start in life. it took reportedly a year or so to negotiate the transfer from the prison at guantanamo bay to billy's . it's also worth pointing out that once a con, had pled guilty and had agreed to work with us authorities in investigating not just the 5 men on trial for allegedly planning the september 11th attacks. but for other operations that might have been carried out by l. haida. it's worth noting that once he completed his sentence for that guilty plea, he basically was in a state of limbo for about a year while we us tried to find a place for him to resettle. it is a worth pointing out that town through his lawyers con, has put out a statement saying that he hopes to atone for the work that how he did that landed him in u. s. custody that he's trying to look toward the future. and that he hoped to make up the fellow residence of the country of billy's proud to have him as

a resident and what's happening with the other detainees. well, there are still $34.00 men being held at twan tom obey at the military prison, there are 2 or 3 of them or have been judged a basically too dangerous to release, but they haven't been charged with any crime which is something that human rights advocates i have said it should not be the case that the u. s. either needs to charge them or let them go. of some of some 11 people are in the military commission process, where they are facing the criminal law charges for actions a related to the september 11th attacks, to the 2000 attack on the u. s. s. cole, and other alleged terrorist activities. and then there are some 20 people who have been cleared for release, but they have not yet been repatriated to their home countries. perhaps because there's war happening, such as in the case of 10 men and yemen,

or they just haven't been able to negotiate a place, a 3rd country where the other 10 men could go. but it does not mean that the bite administration isn't trying to do so, but it is having to try to ramp up its efforts after a years of inaction, during which of the trumpet, ministration only released one person from guantanamo and jordan. thank you very much indeed. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has joined the president of chand near tel aviv for the opening of chads embassy in israel. it's a major step in normalizing relations since chance severed ties in 1972 in solidarity with palestine has been a wider diplomatic push to build ties with muslim majority african countries. since netanyahu's previous didn't as prime minister. israel's foreign minister any cohen has just returned from cartoon, israel and sudan started the process of normalizing as part of the abraham accords in 2020

ah. green you president low to mid zalinski is urging the european union to pose more sanctions on moscow. head of a summit in keep on friday. soon after arriving in the ukrainian capital european commission, president or slough on the line said a sanctions package, including your price caps on russian oil will be ready for the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion. at spite, despite division between member states over what the caps should be. to lensky says, the block is moving too slowly. or you just believe robberies cause of dying as when she does that just the common to ask for the european union is to reduce russia's ability to bypass sanctions. the sooner this is achieved, the closer we will get to the defeat of russia's aggression. we have noticed that the pace of sanctions has slowed down a bit while the terrace state has speeded, adapting to sanctions. it is worth to catch up and fix it east. we believe we can do it. today. russia is paying

a heavy price as our sanctions are you eroding its economy? throwing it back by a generation. the price cut on crude oil already costs russia around $160000000.00 euros a day. and we will keep on turning up the pressure further. we will introduce without g 7 partners, an additional price cap on russian petroleum products. and by the 24th of february, exactly one year since the invasion started, we aim to have the 10th package of sanctions in place. russian president vladimir putin says moscow will respond to western support for ukraine speaking at an event mocking 80 years since the battle of stalingrad put in compared russia's offensive in ukraine to its victory over nazi germany. during world war 2, he threatened germany and allies for supplying keith with leopard to tanks,

saying russia would use quote more than just tanks to repel what he described as the aggression of the collective west. you look, jaeger with you and i be excused from those who are dragging european countries, including germany into a new war with russia and irresponsibly talking about it as a done deal. those who expect to win against russia on the battlefield. they apparently don't understand their modern war with russia will be completely different. we are not sending our tanks to their borders today, but we have what it takes to respond. they were in it and using military hardware will not be the end of it yet. everyone has to understand this, even as the war continues in ukraine discussions taking place about funding, the reconstruction of buildings and infrastructure severely damaged in the conflict in butcher, near keith natasha. butler spoke to some people who are trying to rebuild their homes and their lives in boucher on the outskirts. if keith valentino watches as builders repair her home,

it was damaged by shelling when russian forces occupied the town last year and experience, she says, was worse than living through world war 2. the common that they should that the follows with the everything was destroyed. the t v. so for clothes i couldn't stay so i went to my neighbors basement. we spent weeks there. there were explosions nice and day russians and ukrainians firing. i don't know how i survived 40. the house now has new windows, and soon the roof will be finished. valentina sweeps up shavings from the timber to fuel her burner. butcher's town council, his financing reconstruction in this neighborhood. one of many districts pounded my russian artillery. nearly every house in this street has been damaged and is the similar picture in so many parts of ukraine. it is clear, the rebuilding the country is going to say, yes, i cost

a lot of money as the war continues in ukraine. so does the destruction mangled infrastructure and bombarded buildings and now part of the landscape. some people are forced to survive in what's left of their homes. keep estimates that reconstruction will cost at least $350000000000.00. the e u has an idea about how it could be funded. ukraine will rebuilt and done. i just must be jump, inserted. we are fully frozen over 300000000000 euros oppression of sex. i'm strongly to convince these shoots, and this will be useful for eucharist. workman's torture, but oh, not all you members are convinced about using frozen russian assets for ukraine's reconstruction. but some say it would be a form of justice making moscow pay to rebuild what it has destroyed, even though low amount of money could ever for the restore people shattered lives.

natasha butler, al jazeera butcher, ukraine. rising energy prices driven by the warn ukraine have helped british oil and gas company shell to achieve its highest annual profits in it's 115 year history. profits hit nearly $40000000000.00 in 2022. that's nearly double the year before and largely due to the soaring price of fossil fuels after russia's invasion of ukraine. the price of brent crude oil reached nearly $128.00 a barrel in a month after the invasion. that's double the price at the same time the year before, and not the only major energy firm to benefit. exxonmobil also reported a record profit for 2022. at $57700000000.00. while chevron made $36500000000.00 in profit. a massive profits generated by shell and its competitors, a leading vote widespread calls for higher taxation of energy companies and for industries to transition away from hydrocarbons under simmons. as more these

extraordinary figures, some shells headquarters here in london. of course, a chorus of outrage in the u. k. and elsewhere, and a bonanza for investors. that weiss, the amount of profit from 2021 ninty, $40000000000.00 an hour out of that tax has been paid. this is a special windfall tax on the u. k of only around a 134000000 was projected 420225 shell initially. but now they're saying it's around about 500000000 for 2023. really. this is miniscule according to the labor opposition compared to what they really should be paying. and that's because of a whole series of, of loopholes which include the fact the only money paid on

extraction of oil and gas is subject to the tax and not what you'd pay on the, for court, for petrol and diesel at. furthermore, it's, it's argued that shell is, is trying every way possible not to pay the tax and also resisting it in several quarters. the opposition to all of this isn't just a political. it's also from the, all of the strikes that are taking place in the u. k, the dissent amongst people is immense. and so this is regarded as by some as obscene poll novak of the 2, you see general secretary said it's an insult to working families and ed miller band, the shadow a climate change secretary for labor at says that because of the loopholes, it really, really needs and 2nd, i to actually impose further taxes at right now they stand at 2030, so 35 percent when they were 25 percent originally. but that still isn't seen as

being effective in this situation. 2 days ago, in anticipation of the record prophet announcement, greenpeace activists boarded and occupied a shell platform in the atlantic ocean in protest against the company's ongoing production of fossil fuels. with a banner reading, stop drilling, start paying for to this scale, the side of the $51000.00 ton vessel, which is the route to the shuttle and islands. it's a key piece of equipment. the great, great, he says will enable, shall to unlock 8 new wells in the penguins north sea oil and gas field. the protest to say that carrying enough supplies to occupy the platform for days to show this business as usual, can not gone. we need to installation in a better planning it better distribution of energy, just consuming and pumping it out. all the helps the big daily on air fossil fuel

companies. and it's true that we are in an energy crisis, but we are not in a production crisis. we are in a consumption crisis and what shell is trying to do is to get rich still to come this half hour. yes, house republicans asked representative ill and omar from the foreign affairs committee. the criticism of israel ah hello west is best for sunshine across western europe. over the next couple of days we will see more the way of sunny skies coming back through here. notice is bank of cloud calling in from the northwest. so we do have some bands of cloud and rain digs in to what will be significantly cooler as you go on through the next couple of days. not too bad at the moment. you can see temperature is just about above

freezing. for the most part, there's that malware. i would tools, western parts $1112.00 celsius that london and for paris to 16 there. in between as we go on through the next couple of days, we'll, temperatures do fall back just a little bit by the cooler air. the significantly cool where will coming to eastern parts, you can see how those blues to start to encroach from the east and where that murderer meets the colder air bands. a cloud of rain turning to snow. so we'll see significant snow fall across poland through or check the public down towards hungry . eventually pushing across into ukraine. bright disguise, further west little bit of wet weather there to ireland, northern ireland, pushing across, gotten modem, england. but further south is fine and try we got some wet weather. meanwhile, some winter weather some into greece and more so into the clear northern parts of africa are generally dry, but we will see some wet weather maybe get to know them areas about urea. ah,

a city defined by military occupation, there's never been an arab state. he with the capital of jerusalem. everyone is welcome. but the support structure of that man then the color projects, that's what we refuse. was one of the founders of a settlement with this and the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people, segregation, occupation discrimination, injustice. this is upper thigh to the 21st century. jerusalem, a rock and a hard place on algae 0. ah ah. are the top stories here now to 0, long time. guantanamo bay, detainees, magic khan, who was tortured at cia, black sites,

and jail to more than 16 years has been released. 42 year old who was suspected of planning an al qaeda attack on us soil was given into the custody of authorities in belize. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has joined the president of chad tel aviv, the opening of chads embassy in israel to major step in normalizing relations. says chance 7 ties, 972 in solidarity with palestine. european commission president was left on the line at a new sanctions package, including price caps on russian oil will be ready for the 1st anniversary of russia's invasion. russian president vladimir putin said russia would use more than just tanks to repel what he described as the aggression of the collective west. yes, house republicans have voted to remove democratic representative elana omar from the foreign affairs committee and was been ousted for previous comments. critical of israel. how speaker kevin mccarthy defended the decision based upon what she had

said, the anti semitic comments. it's all about the benjamins, via the military in america is equal to hamas and the taliban on $911.00, something happened that day. even the former democratic chair of the committee believed her comments were wrong when a resolution was brought up to deal with this last time, she never apologized. they changed the resolution to say anti semitism is wrong. we're not removing her from other committees. we just do not believe when it comes to foreign affairs, especially the responsibility of that position around the world with the comments that you make. she shouldn't serve them. but this is what the clear this if it was tit for tat, we would have picked people, took them off all committees and said nothing about. we don't believe that natalie is castro in washington dc. 2, it's a bit more about the vote itself and what happened was down nearly

a party lines of 218 votes to remove johan omar from the house foreign affairs committee, 211, to keep her on that committee. now of course, omar is an outspoken, progressive member of the democratic caucus. she is muslim, and she is also an immigrant refugee from somalia. and she gave a fiery speech right before the vote to oust her representation matters. continuing to expand our ideas of who is america and who can partake in the american experience. experiment is the good thing. i am an american and american who was sent here an american who would think we're by her constituents who represent them in congress. so did you have the support from democrats then?

right, well, you heard the applause as she was speaking there, that was coming from the other democrats in the chamber who unanimously supported her remaining on the committee. now, oh mar, has apologized for those comments that were deemed anti semitic. and, and she comes as democrats, her removal comes as democrats accused republicans of wielding political revenge. because democrats remove to republican members from their committees back in 2021. those members for having advocated political violence against democrats on line. they notably never apologized, but they are now back to their committee assignments. now that republicans have reclaimed control. this was also also how speaker mccarthy's moment to show that he could generate the support among his own caucus, that the republicans to oust oh mar. this had been his objective as since

2021. when he vowed he would remove her, if the republicans took power and this was only the latest in his moves against democrats since become a house speaker. having just a week ago, also remove 2 prominent democrats from the house intelligence committee, the 2 of them, adam schiff, and eric's us while well were leaders in the impeachment efforts against former president donald trump. how does your gastro? thank you very much. indeed. investigators in pakistan say the suicide bomber who attacked a mosque and pish. our on monday was wearing a police uniform. security footage shows him pulling up on a motorbike after passing through the gates of the police compound unchecked. at least a 100 people were killed and more than 220 injured in the exclusion. most of the victims were police officers who gathered for pres. a committee has been set up to investigate the security breach. the question of security lapses there. i admit that yes, there was

a security lapse just because the st. palmer was just in a police uniform through this is t v footage. being able to track him down we are conducting v and is also mere. reconstructing the phase 2 and a mess of such is going on. it is going to take a bit of time. but we will find the entire network and we will bring everybody who's involved in this carnage to justice. vague has been following investigation in the shower. we were told by the police chief today that the attacker was wearing a police uniform. he was on a motive like an only has to do to get past that front barrier. the main barrier to the pumps. it was to wave at the pretty substance they way back. he went straight to but even after that point there was several checkpoints that he managed to get through. another fact that we've not today is that he didn't know where the month

was. and he had to ask for directions, not that should have raised suspicion. how pretty stuff please do uniform. that is in the complex doesn't know where the mock is. now. he made his way to the mock. he stood in the 1st or 2nd row, and they say that the police best to, it's very has around 10 to 12 kilograms of those detonated soon as it, pres, thought is not the force of the blood demolished, the walls and the ceiling, cuz that's not the collapsing ceiling is the reason why there was so many your environment, georgia because you could do it because of the ceiling. not a police have admitted to having security lapses with investigations are still ongoing. but there's also another issue. question is all been off about how well equipped the police are. they don't have facial recognition. they don't have electronic barriers, but also some of the medicines have them. sites on their guns have night, vision goggles, equipment that the police here don't have the police. the thing that they need more

resources and more money, but what they hear from central government is that the country is in the midst of an economic crisis about money. those resources are just not available. us is expanding its military footprint in the philippines and it moves that could provide a strategic advantage against china. new deal with manila gives us access to for new bases and increase presence at several others. it completes a train of american military positions around china, ranging from japan and south korea in the north to australia and the south. going to be low report. says president ferdinand marcus junior took off his 7 months ago . he has been a succession of high level us visits to manila. on thursday, it was defense secretary lloyd austin's turn. i have always said that it seems to me the future old, the philippines and for that matter, the asia pacific will always have to involve the united states. walking to talk to

marcus administration has granted the u. s. military access to for more sites, meaning american troops will now be able to operate in 9 locations. but austin has clarified, there will be no permanent us basis. it all ship rogers, the ability to respond effectively to humana terean's issues and also the disaster relief and other types of crisis. one of the bigger and long standing crisis is the territorial dispute between manila and b. j in the south china sea. although an international ruling in 2016 invalidated china's vast claims. the asia giant has built artificial islands and continues to encroach on philippine waters that and china threat to take tie one by force, have critics bearing a bigger u. s. military presses will serve more as an irritant rather than

a deterrent. we think that by this move, by the united states, philippine government will further escalate pensions in the west philippine sea, the south china sea, as well as the area region by one and down we do not want that really means to be wired off. ha ha, one thing former president would be good to turn. they wanted to scrap the agreement that allows the joint military drills between the philippines and the us . but under his successor, the largest public than warranty. it bobbing $60000.00 soldiers are plant for april . the united states in the philippines military alliance may have been through a few rocky years, but the philippine government under president marcos has put all that behind. one could say it's an old partnership in a new era. barnett below al jazeera manila. but frances is called for forgiveness, forgiveness, and reconciliation. on his visit to the democratic republic of congo,

the pontiff spoke to tens of thousands of young people at a stadium in kinshasa. he spoke about the need for peace after years of devastating armed conflict. as the 1st people visit to the country, which has a large catholic population in more than 37 years, malcolm webb has more from kinshasa. the pope was dead. he said he m a few hours ago is not far from here. he spoke to crowder about 65000 young people. he warned them against corruption and you'll say, warned them to stay away from what he could. religion is a more dr. reagan, this is a neo congo. got an election coming up at the end of the year. air and han goes past elections and even present conflict. people who are politicians, another powerful figures are involved in, in those got past polls and in a complete, ha ha, you, stephanie, to see you out is deliberately heightening contentions turn groups against each

other. and this is exactly the kind of thing that po francis was telling the young people, so it should be wary of in just a short while ago, you arrived here not to dom cathedral, which is on the main boulevard in congested. this is the last event i on his program after his visit to congo on friday, right? transit is due to travel, he se on the next stop on his african savvy. as president warden donation could become a parent state if it rejects a western plan to normalize relations with kosovo during a chaotic parliamentary session. savvy, as rightly opposition, urged the parliament to reject the plan and accused president alexander who teach of betraying his country, which he says, serbia shouldn't object to crossovers, inclusion international organizations. out of a decayed independence from serbia in 2008 and tensions between the countries have remained high since our co dodger got. or if it comes to that crossover we are. if

it comes to cause of a you are not not. so i will finish with this does require us, unlike you are meant for me as a president of serbia. the constitution is scripture, capital capitulation, and surrender are not option is hom stocks. and i know what i'm going to do. china wants to build ground stations in antarctica to support its network of ocean monitoring satellites. state media has published illustrations of foreground stations plan to be built at one of china's to permanent research bases. in antarctica. the countries growing number of satellites and space ambitions is raised concerns among some nations with physic could be used for espionage, something china rejects ah.
