killed, over 100 injured, mostly civilians. >> for a second day straight, ukrainians woke up to the sound missile strikes hit the new southeastern town of zaporizhzhia on tuesday morning. >> that was loud. things were flying over here. i rushed to the hallway. children were crying. my grandchild was crying. >> serious damage had been inflicted on ukraine energy facilities. part of the city of lviv was left without power following the strikes. the attacks also hit two eastern cities. >> the armed forces of the russian federation today continued a massive air and sea strike wh long-range precision weapons against ukrainian military control and energy systems. >> this after moscow rained down more than 80 missiles on cities across ukraine, including the

capital, in one day. the united nations human rights office expressed concern russian strikes targeted critical civilian infrastructure and may have violated the laws of war. >> objects which are not military objectives -- targeting of objects which are not military objectives amount to a war crime. >> russian president vladimir putin blames ukraine and warned of severe responses to any further attacks. mark: the secretary-general said the united nations will back ukraine for as long as it takes to be russia. ukraine receives german air defense systems this tuesday. moscow, meanwhile, is accusing the west up prolonging the war

in ukraine. stoltenberg alluded to this by saying that putin started it and put in is the one who could easily bring it to an end. >> president putin's veiled nuclear threats are dangerous and irresponsible. russia knows that a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. we are closely monitoring russia's nuclear forces. we are not seeing any changes in russia's posture, but we remain vigilant. mark: the secretary-general of nato, against stoltenberg, there. u.s. president joe biden and other g7 leaders met virtually this tuesday to discuss what more they could do to support ukraine. they heard president zelenskyy plea for air defense systems, which he called his new priority.

ukraine's president, as well as repeating a call for tougher actions from the west, -- >> i'm asking you to strengthen the overall effort to help fincially. millions of people would be grateful to the group of seven for such assistance. >> the head of the united nations nuclear watchdog met vladimir putin this tuesday. >> the issues of the day are perhaps those who made our discussion today very important

and indispensable since we do have issues that have to do with nuclear safety and nuclear security, particularly in zaporizhzhia, the power plant. abby -- as you know, i have been displaying efforts to try to avoid a nuclear accident that could be very detrimental in general terms and in particular, in the region. mark: speaking directly face-to-face with vladimir putin in st. petersburg. putin of course making more than veiled threats about nuclear weapons in some shape or form in this conflict that he himself started on february 24 with russia's invasion of ukraine. the international atomic energy agency stating the case as to why this cannot be allowed to escalate. we will bring you more on the situation in ukraine as we go through the program. next, it has been confirmed that the coronation of king charles iii will take place on may 6

next year. the event will center on westminster abbey in london. charles, of course, succeeded his mother in september when she died at the age of 96. staff are to be forced to work by the french government at certain fuel depots. it is a rare move taken, it is claimed, to ensure that emergency services can still be maintained. this as the strike has caused shortages and cues of drivers at french petrol stations drags on into a thirdeek. >> across france, drivers turn in circles as they desperately search for fuel amid service station pumps running dry. some even skipping work to queue for petrol. pay-related strikes at energy giants have shut down over 60% of france's refinery capacity, triggering a panicked response. some queue patiently while

others latch onto fuel trucks. the lucky ones who have found petrol do not hesitate to stock up with her water bottles. the french government is under pressure to end the crisis, as it is already dipping into the country's strategic reserves of fuel. a government spokesman warned that the government is ready to intervene. >> the government calls for all of the refinery blockades to be lifted without delay. otherwise, it will take responsibility, meaning that we can do it ourselves. >> the government continues to accuse france's trade union of being behind the refinery blockades. the situation remains in dead like, despite exxon mobil having already negotiated an agreement between trade unions and management.

mark: president biden is to reevaluate the u.s. relationship with riyadh. this, coming from the white house after a saudi-led coalition of oil-producing nations sided with russia to cut output. the 30-nation opec cartel and its 10 allies angered the white house last week with its decision to reduce output to 2 million barrels a day from november. this raises fears that oil prices will sharply increase. not related to the problems here in france, which are industrial relations related. lebanon and israel have struck an agreement recognizing maritime borders. the deal puts down on paper see borders as well as drilling

rights over unexplored oil fields. u.s. president joe biden has hailed this as a historic rate through. there are positive and negative points to every deal, of course, this one perhaps more than most. our guest is the associate fellow of the middle east at chatham house. professor of international relations, thanks for being with us. always a pleasure to have you in for your input. thank you. tell us the plus side of this deal. >> whatever you read or hear about, they mention the term historic. i think this makes it a very special agreement.

even countries officially in a state of war can reach an agreement that benefits both countries, and third, i think it is also important to see that countries can negotiate directly as happens with israel and some of its neighbors, then the united states can step in and achieve something along this line. i think in this instance, it is important. it giv a flier of hopeor this agreement t expanto mething else, but at least for now, it avoids clashes with zbolla and expration and production of energy, especially at this very sensitive time when it comes to the energy market worldwide. >> how about the negative

you hinted at a couple there at the end of what you were saying. >> i think first of all, because of what happened in the last two and a half years with the economy, first with covid and then with ukraine, that instead of looking for clean energy, we are again going back 20-year-old habits -- going back to oh -- going back to o old habs. this is definite a negative. i think the other thing is this is not an agreement signed between the two countries.

if i understand correctly the agreement will be signed with washington separately, lebanon and israel. >> that aspect of needing a guarantor maybe is one of the most telling details. as i understand it, the palestinian side of this whole equation not considered in the discussion at all, but still geographically on the ground, and they are not exactly happy about this. >> yes, first, ihink it is interesting.

i think they care for the interests of their country. i think'tis -- i think it is another step to pushing them to decide the possibility of palestinians' self-determination is getting further and further down the list of priorities. i understand fear and concern about this, but it may have made even more difficult relations between israelis and palestinians, bu it is important to realize for the international community,

including us in europe, is whatever happens on the palestinian issue is important and is not going away. mark: thank you very much for being with us. we appreciate your time. we, of course, are watching for more developments on this agreement, which joe biden is hailing as historic. next, thousands of people protesting in northwest pakistan after a gunman opened fire on a school, killing the driver and critically injuring a child. this happens a decade after the schoolgirl, malala yousafzai, was shot by the taliban in the same city. the attack sparked fear of resurgence and militant activity . >> schoolchildren are once again

in the firing line. protesters in pakistan decried monday's attack in which a gunman fired on a school van, leaving the driver dead and a child critically injured. in their midst, the body of the slain school bus driver. >> we are protesting because the attack has destroyed our peace and tranquility. the future of our children is at stake. we call on the government to bring peace. >> there's been dozens of taliban atcks in the area in cent weeks, raising fears that litton violence has oe again become the norm in this deeply conservative region not far from the afghan border. tuesday marks 10 years since malala yousafzai, then a 15-year-old student, was shot in the head in the same city on her way to school. she had been targeted by the pakistani taliban, also known as

the ttp, for campaigning for girls' education. a military crackdown but paid to the insurgency. this fresh attack has led to fears of insurgents. >> today, under the nose of heavy security forces and the presence of the army, a school van was fired on. this points out a massive security breach. we want the attacker to be arrested and punished. >> private schools have been closed since the attack, and teachers have vowed to strike on wednesday. mark: time not for business. the french government is trying to force workers to end their strike at the refineries. >> the prime minister has decided to requisition workers at fuel depots, meaning local authorities can order them to return to work. she threatens to do the same for employees in an effort to end the strikes that have caused a

third of france's petrol stations to run short of fuel. measure back in 2010.d a similar france's largest trade union earlier warned that such a move would lead to industrial action spreading to other sectors. the cgt on monday rejected a pay rise offer by exxon mobile's management, while a majority of unions accepted it. here is the prime minister speaking earlier. >> social dialogue means moving forward. when a majority have withdrawn. these are not minimal agreements. the proposal tabled by the company's management is significant. consequently, i have asked the police chief to start in accordance with the law the process of requisitioning staff at the country's depots. i hope the other unions involved will grasp the all the french because social dialogue is always better than conflict.

>> the international monetary fund has downgraded its economic forecast for 2023, predicting the global economy to grow just two point 7% next year. with inflation running high and the continued impact of the war in ukraine on global food and energy crisis, -- global food and energy prices, 2023 will feel like a recession for many people according to the latest world economic outlook. to tame inflation, central banks around the world have in raising interest rates, despite the risk of causing a slowdown. earlier, i spoke with the deputy director of the research department at the imf and asked if monetary policy might be too aggressive. >> our view is that they should stay the course and tighten as needed in order to combat inflation. the risk of under tightening, doing less than what is needed, in our view is much worse and

leads to worse consequences, so inflation expectations running out of control, then the risks in the opposite direction. our message is stay the course, do what is needed to handle inflation. otherwise, what would be needed to do later on would be even worse. >> the british finance minister was given a grilling in parliament this tuesday, answering questions from npr's for the first time since taking office. this comes as continuing market turmoil marked another intervention. >> this is a british crisis made in downing street. >> it was a heated session in the house of commons on tuesday as fallout from the u.k. government's looming budget continued. since it was announced in

september, downing street's plan to fund tax cuts with borrowing has spooked markets and sent the pound to a record low. the finance minister was on the defense. >> it is quite clear where we stand on this. we are progrowth conservatives on one side and anti-growth on the others. >> earlier on tuesday, the bank of england intervened for the second straight day. it says it will now by inflation-linked guilds after the bond suffered another significant selloff on monday. the central bank will now spend 10 billion pounds a day buying guilds until the end of the week. >> dysfunction in this market and the prospect of self reinforcing buy/sell dynamics pose a risk to u.k. financial stability. >> the move is an attempt to address problems facing pension

funds. they have been particularly affected by volatility, they tend to hold inflation-linked guilds. pensions were forced to sell these bonds do solvency concerns, causing prices to crash further and putting some in at risk of collapse. the pension industry is calling on the bank to extend its bond-buying program past friday. >> that is it for business. >> thank you very much indeed. time for truth or fake. catalina is over by the big map. good evening to you. today, a poster on social media -- where else? -- detailing the qatar world cup restrictions. allegedly. truth or fake. that is the question. >> with the qatar world cup just 40 days away, we have seen this poster right here circulating online, allegedly published by qatar officials outlining

behavioral rules for visitors for the world cup. the poster reads, "qatar welcomes you." here is a list of eight different rules, including drinking alcohol, homosexuality, immodesty, profanity, and even dating would be forbidden for visitors. this poster has been widely shared on social media. different french, arab, and english-speaking accounts. this user claiming "the world cup should be called the suppression of liberties," or this other user who posted this info graphic and says, "qatar welcomes you, just not you or you hour you and definitely not you." mark: so, truth or fake?

is this real, the graphic circulating on social media? >> this poster is real and does exist, but it was not created by or published by qatar officials or the qatar world cup federation. the graphic was created by this conservative local citizen advocacy group in qatar called reflect your respect. the clue was this logo right here. they shared this info graphic posted on october 1 2022, so just some days ago. a campaign they created for visitors in qatar to respect their local culture and customs, so this alleged fifa graphic was so widely shared on social media that even the official world cup organization posted it on twitter and said the qatar welcomes you graphic circulating on social media is not from an

official source and contains factually incorrect information, which we will check. an info graphic that was shared online, but out of context, it was created by this advocacy group, not by qatari officials. mark: i have covered the world cup before. it was in south africa. it was an amazing experience. i'm wondering what will happen in qatar. and back to what you were talking about, what the actual restrictions will be. >> without a doubt, this will be one of the most restrictive world cup's we have known in modern days at least. even though this poster was not shared by qatari officials, that does not mean there will not be any restrictions. a middle east expert says alcohol has not and band and drinking goals have been relaxed, so we will review these

rules a bit more. for example, let's review the rules on attire. we found this in the qatar tourism website where they post travel tips. their first tip is on attire where they say attitudes toward dress in qatar are relaxed, but visitors should avoid excessively revealing clothing in public. here is one regulation that visitors should follow. then, let's verify their alcohol restrictions as well. right here, we go to the doha gods. we can see that drinking alcohol in qatar is illegal for people over 21, but it is important to know that drinking in public is strictly prohibited and illegal in qatar. then we have this article by middle east i, where we can see guidance for world cup visitors where they say alcohol will be

allowed, but just during 19 hours a day and that special fan zone venues. here are some of the restrictions, and then we will review some of the restrictions on same-sex couples. we do know that same-sex public display of affection is illegal in qatar, but on fifa's website, there was a question-and-answer section where someone asked if nonmarried members of different sexes are allowed to stay in the same room where they replied yes, but according to this reuters article, it says some hotels will not accept some same-sex couples despite these fifa promises. if you are heading to qatar for the world cup, it is important to look at these guidelines before heading there. mark: thank you very much indeed. that is it for this segment. stay with us.
