corner here, and we've also got some showers swinging across the boss phrase. so it's stumble has a high of 12 degrees, much quieter for the top end of africa. we've had some pretty big downpours along the gulf of skinny and for the south east coast of tanza. near some heavy rain is falling there. so alerts in play as we dip toward southern africa. right now those winds are picking up, it's going to pump up the temperature and my put so to $34.00 on sunday the ah al jazeera which is a little me the. ready switching sides honduras says ties with

taiwan to establish diplomatic relations with china. ah, until mccrae, this is al jazeera live from doha, also coming up. joe biden declares an emergency in the us state of mississippi. we are a powerful storm, has killed 25 people and left behind a trail of destruction. rushes president vladimir putin says he will deploy nuclear, tactical weapons and belarus, plus and catherine soy in king is not beefed. and i'll be telling you why security forces are pursuing on cattle raiders who have killed hundreds of people. ah, fall,

juris has formerly broken off decades long diplomatic relations with taiwan and switch to china. it comes after the honduran foreign minister travelled to beijing to discuss establishing ties the slaves taiwan with only 13 diplomatic allies. china considered self ruled taiwan as part of its territory to be retaken by force if necessary. the us says honduras action and is a sovereign decision, but has warned that china often makes empty promises. in response, taiwan has accused china of coercion and intimidation. the chinese, i'll always try to manipulate the event ah, to distort our diplomatic relations and sings the president's visit to our diplomatic elyse, believing in guatemala, ah, and is being a public. and therefore, the way the chinese has been doing this seemed to equal related. and we also got the information a lot earlier that dom,

that discussion scene between honduras and china ah, doesn't seem to be all coming to an end stage in therefore is, you know, ah, our suspicion and your suspicion are the same. that china seems to be doing this. are intentionally or meanwhile, the speaker of the chick republics parliament is visiting. ty, one, the chick republic does not have formal diplomatic ties with the island, the taiwanese technology companies as significant investors. the move has angered beijing, william yang as the east asia correspondent at don't. sure, well news. he says taiwan faces several challenges and trying to maintain existing diplomatic ties and establish new ones. symbolically. this is important and blow again to tie one's international efforts to try to maintain a visibility, but at the same time, we need to highlight how a lot of these remaining allied time we had our smaller in developing countries. in

fact, i need a lot more foreign aid from taiwan in. on the other hand, the tony of foreign ministry has really been stepping up its efforts to really deep and unofficial ties with larger countries in north america. and also in europe. a we are currently seeing the how speaker from the czech republic visiting taiwan and just last week, germany education minister is also here in taiwan. so i think taiwan is trying to find the balance between maintaining the magic allies that is still house, which is 13 countries. and a lot of them are in the caribbean and central america at the same time trying to find ways to deepen ties with other countries. certainly one of the consideration for a lot of these countries, especially in areas of central america where china has really been increasing its influence and expanding its influence. but at the same time, i think we need to look back to a lot of these countries facing dept and also need to develop their infrastructure

and compare it to time one. china just has a lot more in its resources to deploy and also you launch these so called check diplomacy to lower these countries to ship their depend. that magic of recognition, search and rescue efforts are underway after tornado ripped through the southern us state of mississippi. at least 25 people have been confirmed dead and dozens injured. instead of emergency has been declared, she returns the reports. through the town of rolling fork in the rural mississippi, delta took a direct hit from a tornado on friday night and accounted for the majority of the casualties. such was the power of a toy. later daybreak was reportedly trained thousands of meters into the air. we got the muzzle held them and to get people not a can afford the time. probably we will fool count all the damage in the people that inflate. daylight revealed a town devastated around the 3rd of the residence here were reported to have lived

in mobile homes. of state of emergency was declared in the western mississippi counties struck by a storm and across the mississippi and alabama. the reports of leveled buildings overturned cause down, power lines and trees. given the scale of the destruction there were fairs of adapt, could rise, search and rescue teams with deployed saturday morning to find those traps. we lost everything and got our line. sold in the truck and there were multiple reports of tornadoes amid the storm system and the national weather service and investigators to ascertain whether many of those reports were for the same tornado tracking northeast, across the region. for over a 130 kilometers. we can think that it's only one single tornado tracking over a very long distance. but as those damage surveys are conducted, they can see those missing points between tornadoes and determine if it was one long tornado or multiple large tornadoes produced by the same storm,

which is equally as impressive. 28, i see. so it's just beginning in the south and already there have been several devastating incidence meteorologist say this storm system was fueled by the extreme weather patterns and high ocean temperatures that have become so common now as climate change bytes. shebra times the al jazeera, 2 people have been killed and a shooting in the north german city of hamburg. the public prosecutor has said one of the men killed was the suspected. shoot him earlier this month. hamburg was the scene of a mess, shooting where an individual targeted to jehovah, witness meeting whole 7 people were killed. the spokesman for rounds top security body has promised a quick response to us strikes on iranian backed groups. and syrian, the american military hits targets linked to iran and syria on friday. at least 19 people were killed. washington says the strikes were in response to a drone attack, which killed a u. s. contractor and injured several soldiers. a day earlier. on the

u. s. has downplayed an announcement by russian president vladimir putin about stationing tactical nuclear weapons and belarus. futon says the agreement with president alexander lucas shanker does not violate non proliferation agreements. and that it's in response to britain's decision to provide ukraine with armor piercing rounds containing depleted uranium, which pro rated with lucy. alexander lucas ankle is right. he said, listen where your closest allies, why do the americans deployed nuclear weapons, add their allies on their territory, train the crews, pilots. how to use this type of weapon if needed? we agreed that will do the same without violating our obligations. even. i emphasize without violating our international obligations on the non proliferation of nuclear weapons or miles, papa is from the james martin center. the non proliferation studies, he believes putin's announcement is designed to intimidate nato. they will not

violate the nuclear nonproliferation treaty because russia like the united states in its, with its nato allies, will retain the nuclear weapons with its own arsenal, within its own, under its own military command until the time of war. so it does not violate the nuclear nonproliferation treaty. however, it does violate an a statement that president putin made only 4 days ago with her as an and g. that countries should not station nuclear weapons abroad. this has more to do with politics, are both domestic and international in terms of trying to scare people in europe. especially countries like germany and in terms of telling the russian public that they found some way to use russia, nuclear weapons. what it really says to me is russia's losing the war in ukraine and put in is trying to change the subject. but we certainly read some countries that will get nervous about it. and it's, this is what, why they do it. there are,

there's always an active movement in countries like germany, against nuclear issues, nuclear weapons, and they know that's a, something they can use to try to divide the alliance. i don't think it will succeed in that endeavor. and right now, it should be clear, the russians are not actually going to move any weapons at least until july o impudence announced when he said they would dull the bunker ah, to how's the weapons. so this is an announcement for the future if it happens. but it's more about saber rattling, and my view the international criminal court is investigating where there were attacks on ukrainian civilian facilities, including water supplies, and power plants constitute war crimes. russia has repeatedly targeted energy infrastructure, forcing teams to work relentlessly to repair the damage. often in dangerous circumstances, al jazeera spoke to entree toyota, an electrical engineer in charge of repairs in cave was out of my left william selma. this is one of the most extensive damage sites in care of. for of the cities,

most important power lines were damaged. here and 60 percent of the city was without power. my team and i spent 2 days repairing the damage. it was snowing, there was frost. he was raining. the damage was extensive. all the wires were laying on the ground. it was a very difficult job. dark of them was dis voiceover, gotta model it when we were working here. the missile attacks continued the guys we worried about their wives and children at home. the so using years as loses young. yup. i'm not afraid for my life. i'm afraid for my team. they're worried about their families, their families worry about them. but our work is to quickly restore power. though when you got only lord, you got boring. you buy yard slick of my team. i incredible people. they're not afraid and work hard to bring our victory closer. their work is important because everything depends on power, stations. heating system schools, hospital,

water supplies, bakeries, everything, earth. i'm either it is thursday about deborah much into october 10. russia has regularly attacked our energy facilities. it was one of the most difficult winters for our country. jasa, myrtle them was the i'm from didn't yet region and in 2014, i moved to maryville there. i experience shelling and did emergency repairs after shelling. but he was completely different. but who would have thought that in the center of europe in the 21st century misses, would fly over the capital over country like ours? this is tara, right? well, for 3 of them, i feel a great responsibility because we do the work that no one else will do for us. i know there are only a few electrical work as like me who are restoring power, keith, order. our work determines whether and how fast the light comes back on, but more than 100 people had been killed in kenya in the past 6 months by armed castle raiders,

internal politics and the lucrative trade have made it difficult for the government to deal with the problem. catherine saw a report from the ringo, a county in the north rift valley. this is a road in north swift valley that cast through 3 counties. it was supposed to make movement in hard in communities easier. but it's a road that is hardly used because of crime. can use security forces or targeting a 62 kilometers stretch of rolling heels, gorges as comments and caves that are hard to excess wear cattle feeds hide out. we passed through an area called tatty people who live here say young man used this roads to carry out cross boda talks. the community leaders in the village of charl told al jazeera that they've been stigmatized and labeled bandits. i po, mail about that with them. we are afraid even to travel to other areas. what people

see young men from po court that my community there are a grizzers. they say we have one guns we're using and that we have criminals in our media summer, but we have been tainted. we're also dealing with the same band, it coming to steal from other local hub. oh, you are now go about through the military and police have been deployed to some parts, cut or rating is a historic problem, and kenya, the government has struggled to deal with it. for me, yes. remember the alternatives in these areas are very limited to various cause the infrastructure is extremely wanting, the probably some of the most desperate or parts of the country if not with the region. and so, unless we transform these communities and give them a different system of economic survival, is going to be challenging to route out. or the routes of mandatory. the inter ethnic conflict has been made worse by a mix of climate change and politics. people here will do anything to protect the

livestock animal theft is nothing new to heard in communities, but some say the practice has been commercialized. the government has told hundreds of people to leave their homes in areas where the security operation is being carried out. most of those who have been displaced have moved to safer houses, but they are now living rough in crowded houses and open spaces. angeline looming guy and he says, she's decided to move here because it's near a police comp play shop at mason. life is tough. we have nothing. we left most of our belonging back home. we have been robbed. we have no blanket because we have no cutlery. we cover ourselves with sacks at night. when emily, people who live here say they hope the security operation will help. but they also, talis things may not change much. katherine saw all the 0, not rift valley. the still ahead on al jazeera, no opposition candidates,

a severe economic crisis. worthy inflation weight this year has been over 60 percent. and with the economy ravaged by a u. s. trade embargo since 1962, the majority of the population in this country is struggling and the government tolerates no descent. and that's why all eyes are going to be on the ifs tension rate because it's the only way people have to express their discontent in the last municipal election. 31 percent of the population did not vote and many are expecting that figure to be much higher this time. for many inflation constant power blackouts on the detention of hundreds of anti government protesters in july, 2021. make this the most complex selection. since the collapse of q was mean but a factor of the soviet union in 1993, hundreds of thousands of people have left the country heading to the us, spain and other nations. with galahad yvette says, the situation is difficult for every one of the situation is turns we have needs of

many things. i am 81 years old and i don't think this will change. the government blames the most recent crisis on trump era sanctions. and it co, 19 pandemic economy. say that government has failed to transform the state dominated economy, rather by necessity medic go, the country needs a market that, that doesn't need to be a market economy, but cuban socialism. the example is that of vietnam and china, we need to have an example of a one party system that has managed to survive. the government is urging people to vote promising greater reforms that will improve their lives. but many here have stopped believing that real change will happen any time soon. but he said, well, i'll just eat a havana cuba for me, you as president old trump has used a campaign railing in waco, texas. to criticize the manhattan district attorneys investigation. trump is facing possible criminal charges and mixed polling ahead of next year's republican

primaries. many of his supporters say the legal thread, sir, nothing more than a witch hunt. ellen fisher has more from washington d. c. this was donald trump's 1st campaign rally in 2024, although he did speak to see pike just a couple of weeks ago. and he held it and waco, texas in india, which voted overwhelmingly for donald trump in the last presidential election. it's also the foster ali he's held since he predicted on social media that he was about to be arrested after the district attorney in new york were bring charges against him for illegal campaign financing and false reporting. that all surrounding a payment made to an adult film star before the 2016 presidential election. you remember that just in the last few days on truth social donald trump said that if he was arrested, it would lead to death and destruction and would be catastrophic for our country. while he didn't reference the district attorney in new york directly during his

campaign speech, but he did say there was growing evidence of prosecutorial misconduct. but as far as the, i can see, the abuses of power that we're currently witnessing at all levels of government will go down is among the most shameful, corrupt and depraved chapters in all of american history. it's happening right before your eyes, but we're gonna end up winning the biden regimes, weapon ization of law enforcement against their political opponent. is something straight out of the stalinist, russia horror show. it's important to point out that the grand jury in new york is still considering evidence, even though there was no concrete action of an arrest in the last few days. it's also important to point out that donald trump is also facing further criminal inquiries in georgia for potential election interference when he tried to find votes after the election, asking the secretary of state there to intervene. and also, of course,
