ah ha, you're watching al jazeera alive from doha with me fully back to bore. also coming up, the u. s. shoots down a suspected chinese spy balloon bay, jin calls it a violation of international practice. both frances holds a large, my sin, juba, calling for forgiveness as he wraps up his historic visit to south sudan. and an arctic blast sweeps across the northeastern united states and canada. ringing record breaking low temperatures. ah, thank you very much for joining us. former pakistani president pervis my shower of has died at the age of 79 after a long illness. he had been living in exile in dubai since 2016 sar. hierarchy takes a look back at machine life and the controversy surrounding his political career.

her residence shar, if was living an exile for years, fighting to clear his name. the form of pakistani president was charged in connection with a 2007 assassination of former prime minister ben as a bhutto. he was also sentenced to death after being found guilty of treason before a court in pakistan overturned it in 2020. the head of the military had seized power in a bloodless coup in 1999 and served as president from 2001 until 2008. after the $911.00 attacks sheriff aligned himself with the so called war on terror, general michelle of is another, made an impression here. this is not a war against it. it is. and this is a lot of is just now. he also supported the war, enough gun is done. he tried to balance relations with the u. s. and tribal leaders, michelle, af, late to said the united states threatened to bomb pakistan if he didn't commit to fighting cause us. michelle was criticized for failing to improve the

economy at home and many times with india that's despite a high profile visit to grow, where many had hoped it would lead to better relation firing. pakistan's chief justice in 2007 proved to be his fatal political move. yeah, it led to st. protest, melbourne, and was the bill bull gone? i raised my future in the hands of the nation and the people, let them be the judges. and ultimately, the man who survive multiple assassination attempts was forced to resign. a year later, he lived in exile for a while, but the law of power was too attractive. he tried to stage a political come back in 2013. the i was thinking the government would call me back and say, say pakistan. but that did not happen today. my nation order me to come back,

i came back, put in my life in danger to safe pakistan. instead, he was arrested and charged with murdering ben. is it due to the 1st woman democrats, sickly elected in a muslim majority country? the government allowed me sharp to leave in 2016 to seek medical treatment for a serious illness. general, more sharp though, had always denied wrong doing, and maintained the case against him was politically motivated. command hider is our correspondent in islamabad. command. michelle had been living in exile in device since 2016. tell us about the reactions for us to use of his death in pakistan. well, they obviously shock and grief given the fact that we're short of road with this country. we need to go with a 1998 and a blood in their school. as you saw in that package, and the reason for that school was primarily that he was a lanka at that time,

the prime minister. now why should he decided to unceremoniously sac can replace him with another military chief, shut up that car for them. not allowed to land in pakistan, but with the help of some of the military commanders on the ground, the plane was finally able to land in karachi. so this is a man who of course, is also considered controversial in buckets on the politics. but many people also credit him for his services to the country. now he was suffering from a rare disease which is in kyoto, but emilio emilio. busy don't say this is a disease that affects the organs failure needing to fairly, and therefore he wasn't in the hospital at the american hospital in dubai where he was receiving that treatment. now the family obviously right now is deciding whether the body should be brought back to august on read that it will be, but it,

in the city of karachi audit will be a will take place in islam. i bought a special to play as also being sent to the by engage the family decide to bring the body back to pakistan. as you said, his legacy is a controversial one, a mixed one. what will pakistani remember him most for well, 1st of all, the budget needed really remember him for did not make before mines, because you're very aligned to the united states, focused on your day, but to get huge incentives and us dollars to help get on and supporting element into water on that coke or water on edwards garter lation support program. and so it can make really the country where the electronic media also i sure i revolution because the private,

the private and allowed private john to come on. that good monopoly of the government of law gets on with only a state run tv choice service. it will be remembered by controversial move in that particular cool and later on and how we ended up political situation in the country where there will be mired and controversy. thank you for that al jazeera, come out hydra life for us there. in islam a bond in the world news china has accused the us of over reacting after a shot down the balloon, off the coast of south carolina. the pentagon accused beijing of spying. but china and this it was a weather balloon that straight off course, article hand reports a clear shot as it happened, a missile hit the high altitude balloon and it begins its descent in end 2 days of long debate about what to do about this massive air balloon suddenly saw something

take off again. i knew it was a missile and you can see the explosion. you should have shot that winning the insane. instead of letting it travel all the way across, you thought it was just that. i think it's terrible that they let it get this far start with. and what i've heard are more and more of china claimed it was a weather balloon that was blown off course. president biden says he gave the order to shoot it down last one day, decided without doing damage to anyone on the ground. and decided that the best time to do that was got over water. within our, within 12 mile limit, successively took down. the pentagon says in f $22.00 fighter jet launched a single missile to bring the balloon down into us territorial waters. pentagon officials say now they're turning their attention to recovering the balloon. they think it's going to be a fairly simple operation. there already, several us navy and

u. s. coast guard ships on the scene. they planned to use us navy divers and unmanned submersible to bring it to the surface in the next few days. and then the us will decide if they want to publicly and the debate offering proof of what this was. it's still an open debate was huge. balloon was in fact, following the air streams of the area and that it has a tractor. it is not loitering over montana, it was shot off the eastern seaboard. so at this juncture, this idea that this is somehow a spy ship that was liberally said by china seems a little bit farfetched. but us analysts say the fact that they believe a similar balloon is traveling latin america makes this theory more likely. i do not believe that it was just a weather balloon loan off course it would be quite a coincidence if we have this loon going in to us, aerospace, while apparently there's another one crossing latin america,

us simultaneously infringing upon other countries here space. another strain in an already frayed relationship, which was supposed to take steps toward improvement on saturday. instead taking a step back. particle him al jazeera washington and he is katrina you now with more reaction from beijing. well, donna has condemned the s track against the airship, calling it an over reaction. and violation of international practice. time is for ministry for it's plant has we is rated, it stands up is not a surprise to learn that it is a civilian issue that was born, of course, by a strong when a force may accident is what they're cooling it. now, enriching, originally we had a fairly soft regrettable torn from china, and now that has shifted to a more defensive stance. and they're saying that us politicians are taking advantage of the situation to discredit and attack china. and we've also heard from

china that talk with matt, well, he has spoken over the phone with entities, lincoln. they said that he called a cool heads over this matter and said that communication channel should be kept open to avoid misjudgment. and he repeated again, trying to stuff that this is a groundless accusation. we've also heard from chinese state media. now try me in saying that this whole incident is essentially hot and saying that u. s. media outlets us sensationalizing, this person trying to threaten only making things was between the 2 countries. ukraine now in power has been partially restored in odessa, after a fire substation left nearly half a 1000000 people without electricity. the government says it will appeal to take care to help restore power to those still affected. the facility was damaged by repeated russian missile strikes. live to al jazeera is in bazaar ivy in key for as in what were you hearing about the situation in odessa?

well, the government has been talking about this very, very severe problem facing odessa region. they have said that they've managed to restore power to critical infrastructure. now, what that means is they have restored electricity to important city functions like water, the water supply, drinking water, as well as drainage, the sewage system. 2 very important things to managing a major city and certainly in the dead of winter. most importantly, they've restored power to the critical infrastructure that supplies heat throughout the city. so when they say that they have been able to restore power to parts of the critical infrastructure, that is the thing that they're talking about. but what they say will take weeks to repair is the rest of the power grade. what they're talking about is so far of the half a 1000000 people affected by this. a 3rd of them have had power restored, but very large number, remain without electricity. therefore, without heat in the dead of winter, in their homes and repairing that stuff, repairing the parts of the electrical grid that supply electricity to these

people's homes. that is what is expected to, to take weeks. and speaking about the repair work, a senior official with one of the major power plants working on repairing this substation describe the challenges that they've been facing ever since last summer, when russia began to strike the country's power, great. he described the substation is something that had been a victim of the several russian missile attacks in the past. the substation had been repaired and put back into service. but what are you printing? officials say one official described it like trying to repair a car after been in a car accident. you can get it back on the road, but it will never quite work the same. and that's the kind of challenges that they're facing now across the power grid. even here and keep residents that don't have a back of energy supply like a generator or heavy duty batteries to power their homes faced between 4 to 6 hours, sometimes 8 or 12 hours of power cuts

a day. and that is something you really feel in the current winter conditions. and so that's the situation and key, but in many places in the country, the power cuts last much longer in the city of but who currently under siege by russian forces. they don't have any electricity at all. ok, thank you very much for the update jane bus robbie live in key for us. meanwhile, new european restrictions on russian oil are coming into effect on sunday. this includes a ban on a seaborne oil on seaborne oil products and a global priced cap of a $100.00 a barrel on premium russian oil products. the measures are aimed at reducing russia's ability to fund its war in ukraine. osama bin javin has more from moscow before the war. russia used to sell petroleum products worth approximately $12000000.00 a month, and it continues to turn on product. what about $14000000000.00? european union needs to be the largest export market, followed by china and korea. that's now being overtaken by india. china. i'm

a gray area on more market. russia, you this 2 main methods transported for oil worse, while a network of pipelines to neighboring countries. and interestingly, it continues to pay ukraine water people using the drill pipeline. secondly, it is an in network of tankers, which fairly rushing oil equals all over the world. and they have now come in this functions from the european union that you have set caps and rough diesel and fuel oil. and those are not in compliance. we'll do that have tory's financing, and they won't even get servicing for the rif. still ahead on al jazeera, she lay extends a state of emergency as hundreds of wildfires continued to burn and he's 22 people have died and protests in iraq after a young you to video blogger is killed by her father. we're live in baghdad.

ah, it's very heavily in central europe yesterday about half a meter in australia, it's very typical about cold study has gone science is mer affecting gr weather, our warnings behind it, not quite the same pictures, quite settled in many places. so temperatures having ran low single figures. it's often cloudy. it's actually not warm, but you know, better than it has been in iberia and western france. but i think we probably should concentrate bit further says we're struggling through the g in a drop of temperature at least 10 degrees and snow falling throughout greece is that there are warnings today. they should be in turkey at 2 and said the snow over the higher ground rein easily. if you're near the coast and re cross cyprus and into the event quite happily, almost as far south as sudden, syria, but not quite. it's actually more affecting northern syria where course snow is

falling very heavily in the mountains. now, on monday it's the western man we should look at was, is still going to be cold in greece. this circulation, once again, is going to start to batter the by the erick islands with rain and probably gale force winds. that's the most active weather in europe. again, a fall, which is what sliding up here to the west of the british isles. the middle is quiet and settled by course that wind affects northern libya and egypt. otherwise doth africa's fine. ah, talk to al jazeera, we ask that you may not be more oversight, perhaps, of foundations like yours. we listen when it comes to diversification, we don't do it in order to be getting on the rational energy source. we meet with global news makers and talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera. what's most important to me is talking to people understanding what they're going through

here it is here. we believe everyone has a story worth hearing, hulu. ah, you're watching al jazeera live from doha with me fully back. people are reminder of our top stories, dis, our former pakistani president pervasive shower of has died after a long illness. he'd been living in dubai since 2016 after being found guilty of treason and sentenced to death. the court in pakistan overturned that death sentencing. 2020 china has accused us of overreacting after its shot down its balloon. off the coast of south carolina, the pentagon says raging was using the surveillance craft to spy,

but china insists it was a weather balloon. and in ukraine power has been partially restored to odessa, after a fire substation mesh nearly half a 1000000 people. without electricity, the government says it will appeal to a key to help restore power to those still affect it. right, more now on our top story and the death of former pakistani president pervis moshef . early i spoke to miss sharp sadie, who is the founder and a senior fellow at todd bod lab, and his rama bod base policy think tag. he has more on machine legacy. it's a sad moment, especially for the family. and to his credit, he has a family that has not taken advantage of the enormous and unaccountable hour that he wielded and use. but his legacy will not be the good thing. legacy will be the terrible consequences of his rule for this country. and it's now 234000000

people. perhaps the worst thing that will be attribute to shadow of is the things the, the big thing that he did before he took over, which was that he planned and executed the guardian. laura, 999 with india, the permanently damaged pakistan standing with its western partners, but also really eliminated the chances for any kind of reconciliation or normalization. in this region. permanently turn india into an adversary that and the sting away. i just wanted to pick up on the cognitive war you say planned and executed that war. but at the same time when he was empower, he promoted dialogue with india. what was, what was the relationship like i 5, india is content. he definitely try to engage in the serious conversation. perhaps the most serious proposal for the resolution of the media issue came about during

his period. it's called the 4 point formula and it is attribute to him. but none of those ideas actually produced an outcome. and the relationship that back on has with india, which is maybe the most vexing and complicated aspect of, of sunny identity as far as a nation status concern continues to be informed by the poison from the god get a war. the head of the roman catholic church is holding a large mass in south sudan before he leaves the country. both francis historic visit a spot of a 6 day trip to africa. on saturday, he met people effected by the years long conflict in south don. the pope called on south and east leaders to we commit to p. earlier we spoke to the right reverend doctor in green shield the head of the church of continent. he's in south saddam with po frances and he's optimistic. the visit will help create a path for peace just to fight the 3 of us being there together was quite amazing

at that. and that show the thing was credible statement of unity. you can speak to people the piece if you don't live in yourself. so i think that in itself which was very powerful real but it both to mr. marin, that maybe this is the time when things will begin to start to turn and change. and certainly all the services to do with the political leaders were present. and the big service for unity and for peace. later on in the day there was quite a straight talking from everybody to the political leadership. yes, support was quite firm. and what he was saying, expecting that not much had happened in the 40 years 5 years since they had trying to get things rolling. and i real same unless you have a country that's

a piece you know, good to have other countries providing inward investment. and you're going to find people continue vulnerable because of the continued violence. and you're not going to better at the prosperity of the people at the to a rock now where proteins are being held after a young youtube blogger was killed by her father. he admitted to strangling tea by a lady on wednesday in the so called honor killing. a father was reportedly upset about his daughter's decision to live in turkey. the 22 year old fled from her family after accusing her brother of sexually assaulting her. that's bringing mahmoud abdullah had our correspondent in bagdad mammal, this so called honor killing has cause outrage across iraq. talk to us about why people are protesting today and what their demands are. well as you can see right behind me, those are our rights advocates,

activists and human rights. members, there are message today, is it clear to the iraqi judiciary. they want the judiciary to a change or amend article number of 4 or, and 9 of iraq's penal code, which as they say, gives a green light, some kind of a green light for her fathers and brothers to kill her, their sister or a daughter at the pretext of own or killing they have been chanting gelatin while ago that oh, not a killy. that is no, oh, not in. oh, not killing. they say that they are addressing the government, the parliament victory counsel at today in order to set rules to protect women from domestic violence. as you can see right behind me, they have been raising the van notice they have their raising banners to demand justice for the death of tuba ali, as you know that c but id

a 22 years old. a girl iraqi girl from the city of d o n e are in southern iraq, and she was killed at the hands of her father on wednesday. whoa at mid dots after he turned himself in to the police in a d, y n e. so as you know, we have been speaking to some of those rights advocates. they say that the fact that a walk is up a truck can society the fact that iraq is also based on tribal laws, more than on the state laws does not justify the killing of the girls up there have been there have been many unreported cases at like at the bus at a case. but as you know, that because of the fact that there is no certain articles in the penal code to protect women or females at jewelry. so that has been, that has been

a comma. so these activists today say that they will continue protesting, they will continue to put pressure on the judiciary, the judiciary council at to amend the article number 4 at 09 o can penal code and also to set a new rules to guarantee the safety of women thank you for that. my mood, hampton were had live in baghdad. a presidential election is underway in cyprus, countries facing a cost of living crises, corruptions, candles, and a migration crisis. opinion poll suggests to paul will go to a run off on february 12th, none of the leading contenders are expected to secure a majority of the vote. at least 22 people have died in hundreds of forest fires. in chile, nearly a 1000 people have been injured. as a blistering heat wave is complicating efforts to control the blazes, the fires of raging across the central southern regions of around yard b. o. b o and nobly the government has extended emergency orders. as of course,

. there was no time to set up a firebreak and nothing. i think everyone here went through the same situation. the wind speed changed very fast and everything suddenly started to burn. it was all very fast. chili's government is now seeking international support a to address the like and see eddie out. we have spoken to several governments to reinforce the efforts there were previously being made. the companies that provide the services these requests include to search for equipment to bolster to fleet of brigades that can reinforce the work on the ground. were in contact with several countries in the region, such as brazil, argentina, and uruguay present, gabrielle borage, cut short as some of vacation, his government, extending a state of disaster. it allows the military to mobilize to help battle the fires as the number of dead gun continues to rise. when they consume should, if al jazeera, an arctic blast has hit parts of the united states and canada with fierce winds,

people are used to cold weather here in boston this time of year. but this is unusual. the last time had got this cold in boston, was 1957 in parts of maine, it was so cold, there were frost quakes. small earthquakes caused by sudden cracks in frozen soil. elsewhere the brutal, cold, complicated the emergency response to a massive fire after train derailment overnight in ohio, freezing the water being pumped to fire fighters. icey roads have made for hazardous driving in some states, like here in oklahoma. but back in boston, temperatures began to creep up slightly in the afternoon, reaching negative 12. people began to come out and brave the elements having some fun. but this is certainly a deep freeze that people here won't forget it.
