had drones, children, all 13 were shot down by ukrainian air defense, but well done. i'm proud of you had seen russia. russia has recently been using long range methane attacks on residential areas. it called them military attacks. keith called the russian strikes war, grind thing. moscow is intentionally targeting 70 or correspondent in cave. mac xander told us more about this latest attack. right, so it was shortly before 6 this morning when the the city woke up to another air raid alarm to air raid sirens, and then not, not long after 2030 minutes. maybe we heard a couple of very loud bangs now it's appears to be, have been ukrainian air defense forces, taking out these iranian drones according to authorities. 13 shahan jones were launched in the sea of as of region and made their way across the country to the

key of region and some of them even into the city. but luckily, none of these jones were able to attack. there was no direct hits on all of you. jones could be intercepted, but there has been some damage. we heard on due to shrapnel. some, some residential and an administrative buildings were damaged. ah, but as far as we know, nobody was killed. nobody was hurt. as max sander in cave, now a european panel, a lawmaker eva kylie, has appeared in court in brussels. the greek socialist, emmy, phase, one of 4 people arrested over a corruption scandal linked to guitar. i've been charged with accepting bribes in exchange for you favors towards the gulf states way. kylie's been stripped of her role as a vice president of the parliament, the hearing in brussels will decide whether she remains in custody. she and katara officials deny any wrong doing was still some here are calling our correspondent

jack perez at the court in brussels. welcome jack. what happened today? let me just bring you up to date. we've just in this last few minutes had it confirmed by lawyers working on this case that actually eva kylie was not present in court today. there has been a shield around this hearing, a just after it wrapped off for about 2 and a half hours here in brussels. we find out that she wasn't present, but that her 3 co defendants, 3 italian men, were present here in court today. for this pre trial hearing, we have no explanation as to why the former vice president of the european parliament wasn't here. but we understand that she will have a hearing now on the 22nd of december. as i say, it lasted about 2 and a half hours here at the court. nobody as far as i'm aware. so any of these people come in or so any, any of the 3 removed from the court, the hearing is now over and we're waiting for more information from the belgium federal prosecutor as to what exactly has happened in this hearing. and is that

unusual? a jack, would we normally would these proceedings normally be, am, would press normally be excluded from court like this. my understanding is that that is that there is some normality around this. but there seems an additional layer of secrecy and a shield of opaqueness taking part in this. and we don't know exactly why that is. i say we're waiting to hear a little bit more. we know that 1500000 euros in cash was find in private residences. as part of this, we don't know if this is some attempt to try and separate the case, separate the charges before the trial a had taken place. the prosecutor had told us that the 4 of the defenders were charged with the same thing. so participation in a criminal organization, money laundering, and corruption, we're gonna have to wait and see exactly what has happened in this trial to see if

by potentially the 3 men may have been released on bail. we still have no information. as i say, there's a super shield around this, and it's very clear that the authorities want to keep cameras off the faces of these people. and if no matter what, even if they were granted bail, in this case, they would be taken back to the prison where they're being hail held. i'm released from there within 24 hours. that's the deal. so it wouldn't be the case that even if they were released, they would have walked free from the prison right to day to defend the trial later on. we don't even know if the trial is going to take place. this was a pre trial hearing as i say. okay, so for suspects, but it's a, it is looking likely that this scandal extends beyond those people. well, there's a lot of work. there's a frenzy of people like me trying to find out whether this goes further, that whether there are other people implicated. i had it confirmed by the kentoria authorities who flatly denied participation in this corruption scandal. they said

that they think that it was some sort of conspiracy hatched by the admiralty. that was the admiralty. deny that the question is, does this go further? does it involve other countries, potentially other m e p's as well? thank you for that. jack. jeff parker, outside the court in brussels is look at more stories making headlines around the world. for people who died off the coast of the south coast of england after bowed carrying migrants got into difficulties and freezing temperatures, dozens more were rescued. people often tried to cross the english channel by boat from france to try and claim asylum in brit. votes have been counted in fiji. the election prime minister franka by the mariama, a seeking another term. it came to power in a coup in 2006, and this thing's been be elected twice. fiji is an island nation in the south pacific with china and the u. s. competing for influence because of his prime minister alvin cour. t has signed an application to join the european union. the

process is likely to take years and depends on normalizing relations with neighboring serbia, which apply for membership more than 20 years ago. recent protested by the serbian minority and cause of us led to classes with police just in on helping us president joe biden assigned to the bill, granting federal protection to same sex marriages. they've been legal center supreme court decision in 2015 the new bill. immensely protection rights at the federal level. in the latest films upon the central united states with heavy snow and freezing rain in the northern states and tornadoes in the south, dozens of flights were cancelled and hundreds delayed while many roads were closed . whether experts, temperatures could drop to minus 29 degrees celsius and more than 120 people are now known to have been killed by floods, landslides, in a democratic republic of congo, have reins of the capital. kin shasta have swept away homes, major roads,

including a key supply, route us of merged officials, say much of the destruction effects that property is built without permission. it happens for sunrise according to residence here in a shanty town outside constructor, an unexpected flash flood, and then the ground gave way, bearing homes were causing them to cave in and as the neighbors will fell on us while we were sleeping, the kids pulled me out quickly but the others died on the spot right next to us. by the morning, an entire segment of this major road had disappeared. several people were buried in the debris. in some cases, entire families were killed when their homes collapsed. not i find it hard to bear. well, you know, i have no strength to bury the dead bodies is up in america. perhaps the congolese government not will be able to provide me with help was swung i many of those whose

lives were spared in this disaster saw their possessions swept away in a raging water. papa, i want to say to your thirties, if they're watching them, we're congolese. we've lived here for a long time and now our houses are washed away. may for example, i don't know where to go with the children. i've been a widow since 2015 and now my house is gone with the rain. i can't find one of my children. i'm a poor woman and i don't know where to go. i've lost almost everything. i only have the clothes and wearing one, and a boy. kinshasa is one of africa's largest city, doesn't believe it's growing rapidly. and many new residents live in shacks, built in flood prone areas with inadequate drainage their calls for the congolese government to invest in infrastructure to make these neighborhoods safer. as climate change makes disastrous like this, and more frequent, claiming ever more lives will this year saw record levels of humanitarian need

around the world with 90 percent of it concentrated in just 20 countries. and this is, according to the international rescue committee, which is just published it's 2023 emergency watch list of the worst humanitarian crises to be aware of in the coming year or top. and the list is somalia, facing a severe food crisis caused by decades of conflict and rec, or drought. almost half the population is in need of humanitarian aid and people are starving every day, seconds, ethiopia, facing a similar food catastrophe. here the humanitarian response is undermined by multiple conflicts, including the war in the north and t gray region. and then this afghanistan, according to the i asi, most of the african population is at risk of poverty following the taliban takeover and the imposition of international sanctions. all of which has resulted in economic collapse. a new entry into the list is ukraine, where rushes in in this course, a largest displacement of people for decades,

leaving more than 17000000 in need of essential services and at risk of illness. and a knock on the facts of russia's invasion, searching worldwide food and fuel prices means that this war is fueling other humanitarian crises. or george readings can talk us through this. he's one of the international rescue committees at global crisis. analysts welcome to a d, w, and what would you say is the most important message from your latest emergency watch list? thank you for having me. the 1st reaction annual is likely to have on here in the statistics either shared on reading what just is, is that the outlook is really bleak. need their code numbers of people who mantell need approaching 340000000 people globally up 60000000 on last year. that over 100000000 people around the world have been forced to feed a home to try and find safety. we have a next year that will be $700000.00 people, not more than that facing catastrophic. that was a food insecurity. food, food insecurity,

so severe that people are dying every day. but i think where we start with our watch, this is the key place that isn't inevitable. there are things that can be done. there are god was that can be put in place to mitigate the impact of crises on affect communities. however small and it was a truce in yemen last year that he had a court civilian casualties down to the lowest level. see is, there are things that can be done to however, baycove a small to would you seen partners, communities, and we need to be focusing on this. right? and most of the countries on your latest watch list are in the global side. we received them in, at number 10, a new entry. this is ukraine, back from your of course. yes. so the war in ukraine has sparked the fastest largest displacement crisis in decades, not just in europe, but globally. so it's, that's why it's we entered our watches for the 1st time since since 2017. but i

think there were 2 other things to say about ukraine here, that it really important. one is why doesn't it appear higher on our list? why is it, why is it at 10, which is clearly very concerned about it, but the way to to ration in other countries is, is so fast. and also when we talk, what is god? well, the things do in place, actually some of them are working in ukraine better than they are and countries appear higher of the list. so we're seeing high levels of aid being sent to ukraine relative to other quite is on the list. and we're also seeing a welcome to ukranian refugees that we're not seeing from any of the other countries on the list to that, that account. so why it's on the list because it's record needs record impact. and in terms of people forced to flee, and the outlook in the middle of winter is extremely alarming. ios. the teams are on the ground, distributing items at the moment to help people get to the cold winter. it's minus 6 degrees already at the moment and it's going to get colder. it doesn't appear with a higher because at that are international response. but as i think,

as you said in the direction that global impact is critical. it's pushed up food quite as pushed up for at least twice concrete and his food crises around the world . and we're seeing that impact on many of the countries on the list. and just a, just a quick word about a global warming because are all of the countries almost list are affected by a warfare and, and conflict, the mirror, economic crises as well. but global warming seems to be playing a part in this as well. absolutely. climate change 2022 has made the impact climate change absolutely undeniable and on human town crisis. whether it is the record route that we're seeing in somalia with may with having 5 failed rainy season so far. we potential for 6 next year when in pakistan that saw early the c, a record high temperatures and then massive flooding submerged. they're approaching a 3rd of the country. it's undeniable that kind of changes hang on matter impacting countries. and it is not a crisis that watches countries are created, the country's analysis created. they account for just 1.9 percent. all c o 2

emissions go be they didn't create this problem, but they are the worst affected by it. and yes, climate change is global and the, and it has an impact all around the world. i think what's critical on some to what is countries is they are particularly affected. and the reason for that is because of the way in which climate change into plays with economic term or into plays with conflict in particular. and least people ever move are exposed. we're seeing specific impact in these watches, countries with, for quite as they did not. great. okay, thank you for that. that's very clear. george readings from the international rescue committee. thank you. thank you. ah. well, the football woke up anchor tar argentina convincing the breed krasier 3 nail in the 1st of the semi final clashes croatia, upset to brazil in the last round. and we're hoping to continue their improbable run for little massey and his teammates proved too much for them. to handle this

semi final was bound to be the last shot at world cup glory, 3, a legendary player either argentina's were you know, messy or co h as luca mudrinich despite croatia controlling much of the ball early on argentina were the 1st to break through with william alvarez's bullish run, forwarded by a clear foul with the whole world watching, but his keeper, too nervous to look. leo massey stepped up and ripped home the penalty. one mill argentina with 34 minutes play and just 5 minutes later alvarez was again crouching through a sea of legs. this time no one dared to take him down to nil. late in the 2nd half, it was messy lighting up the pitch, dancing through crashes defense to lay the ball off to alvarez and finish things off at 3 nil. messy has again carried his country to a world cup final, this time against either france or morocco. meanwhile, muddrick knows, he'll never lift the cup as get more on the sandy central mass sports correspondent

danya barcelona. who's in doha, welcome at daniel to what was the key to argentina success last night? hey, there. so lena massey, it was really the key to argentina's success. i mean there is a reason why he's considered to be one of the greatest players of all time. and he really made a big statement yesterday. he is the player who masterminded and inspired argentina's performance. obviously against croatia, he scored the pound, he shot the 1st goal that made him argentine as all time leading goal score. but not only does he score goals, he creates them as well which he did after that yesterday croatia, they really had no answer to messy. it, there defenders could not even get close to him. now, of course argentine i really believe that it's the time that their leader wins the world cut. of course this is the trophy that has eluded him. his entire career. and

if he were to get his hands on it, it would really put an end to debate as to who is the greatest player of all time, and his teammates will do anything they can to get in to lift it. idea of a semi final takes place to not have raining champions of france against the upstarts, morocco, what should we expect? france. morocco, of course, is the typical david versus goliath clash. of course, france coming into this game. the favorite, probably the favorite to win the entire tournament. of course, they're the reigning champions. they are really looking to defend their title something which would be amazing if they could do, because it hasn't been done in 60 years in modern football. and they really do have the depth and the squad to be able to do that, of course morocco, the under dogs. but they're not going to be too worried about that. they have a solid squad. they're very difficult to play against. they haven't conceded a goal from opposition in this tournament. they're still undefeated, and of course they did send whole both spend and portugal,

so they're really riding a wave right now. and the stadium will definitely be in morocco's favor tonight. brian, let's talk about moral casa fans because i got tremendous support from their own fans, and from across the be out of the muslim world, which must be pretty inspiring. yeah, the fans fair morocco are absolutely amazing at this world cup. i mean, in morocco they love football, this is really big from rock and football. of course, the 1st african side to ever make it to the semi finals of the world cup. but morocco is a special country, of course, because it's not only an african country, but it's also an air of country. so they have the support and they're playing for and representing over a 1000000000 people. and you can really feel that here in doha, there are so many thousands of fans who have come just to witness and be a part of this history. so tonight we are in for an amazing atmosphere in the stadium of that daniel daniel barcelona in dough.

well, as we've been hearing that the woke up champions, france are widely expected to join argentina in sunday's final, but it's sat not a done deal. so let's find out even more about the support for morocco, the world cups, 1st african and 1st arab semi finalists. and a team few believe would make it this far. oh, the streets of rabbit, morocco's capital, were bedlam after the winner of portugal for moroccans reaching the world cup. semi final is already a dream come true. on this really truly much. we watched all the games and we gathered around 200 or 250 people all americans that it was wonderful and we are really proud of and on is here. the atlas lions of both the 1st nation from africa and the 1st from the arab world to reach a world cup semi final. that means they're not sure to support

long live morocco, a free arab nation. from here in gaza. i say this will be a cup for the arabs, for morocco we will chime in support of them without blood and souls illegally because it's a historical qualification, not only from a rocco pop, but for all africa. we're proud of morocco, leopard and some threats here tomorrow. but given the french speaking nations, historical links with tonight's opponents, there are even many in france with split loyalties says to we call it, it's historic. you could say it's met hope it's going to be a good match for both of us. i hope morocco will go through though, on a bit more from america. i don't know why. you don't have a pistol much of a one. morocco have toppled european royalty in the form of spain and portugal to get this far. but france represent that toughest challenge yet the holders and favorites defeated england to reach the final 4 and in killing em, pappy post the star of the tournament. yet morocco had conceded only one gull so

far north, none on. i'm not going to try and set up any particular tactical plan to counter mapping and foot lee for us. those more than just killian france also has other good players. yup. i could to daniel if morocco can find a way to stop and buffet and co, one thing's for sure. the st parties what only be taking place in robust. what is more than a decade since avatar smashed box office records and push the limits of filmmaking? technology, now it sequel is hitting movie screens. avatar they way of water is the follow up to james cameron's an epic tale about an environmentally conscious species exploited by humans. it's nearly 15 years since full, marine jake sally became his avatar and joined the not the tribe wired to come to us. he and ne, teary i, now parents talk to my family, but when their home is again threatened by humans, the family flee to an underwater refuge and must learn new skills to survive,
