says russia is tugs in critical facilities across several cities and a new wave of missile strikes. president vladimir lensky, posted this video footage, apparently shot record camera of a blast in the central city of denique pro. there are also reports explosions in the southern port desa, the capital keith. several cities have reported black counts as russia stepped up a tax on ukrainian energy facilities in recent weeks. well, the deal that ensured safe passage of millions of tons of grain from ukraine has also been extended by 120 days. the agreement broken by the you and turkey are allowed great shipments through the black sea. it's been in place since july and was set to expire the suite. that's got a very latest on those subjects from general law correspondent in the ukrainian capital. and joe, obviously those strikes on getting across the country, just bring us up to speed on what we know that we do know it's difficult to independently verify what's going on as well. to be clear just to correct that last discussion the strikes are over. so now the old clear has been sounded, it sounded probably a couple of hours ago now across the country. so for the moment, this particular wave of strikes is over. it was the 6 such attack by long range missile and drone since mid october. the 2nd just this week targeting, in large part, according to presidential administration, energy infrastructure, particularly electrical supply distribution points. and also on this occasion, gas production and storage facilities as well. although some of the pictures we've seen and you just played one of them, there seem to show destruction in denise, in what looks very much like a civilian neighborhood. 16 cruise missiles we understand were 5 and 5 unmanned aerial vehicles, those drones, the radio and made sure he drones, the missiles coming from the vulgar danced region in russia, and also from the black sea. the drones we taught, we are told, launched from bella russian territory at defense has been pretty effective as indeed it was on tuesday. earlier this week. we are told that for missiles and 5 drones were down by the defense in and around the cave region here. and 6 of the missiles loads from the black sea we're down as well, but a few getting through and the run to those attacks happening in denise pro that south central city. where as i said, you just saw some video there. 14 people set the been injured into neat pro, along with a 15 year old girl. 3 injuries reported in odessa and separate that to death reported in upper easier south ukraine as well from a separate set of attacks. apparently during the course of the night and, and the aftermath of all of this problem is that the president has reported the 10000000 people around to power. there are emergency blackouts in operation across the country. a lot of power outages here and keep as well. and the national grid reports the situation is critical down in odessa, one power supply a detail telling its customers that 70 percent of them are out to power and may well be out of power for an entire week. and the temperature here is dropping fast . it is below 0 now, at this point in the afternoon as the sun begins to set, the 1st snows have fallen here in cave. and so yet another blow to the concerns of very many ukrainians ahead of what promises to be an extremely bleak winter and how they actually react thing the ukrainians to the extension of this grain deal that's been extended for now. another 120 days, a little bit of light relief. perhaps it's certainly been welcomed by the administration. in fact, the news is broken by the infrastructure, minnesota fund, who bracco, what can be the completion of this deal, the full parties to the deal? of course, jackie, the united nations, russia and ukraine, now all independently confirming that the grain deal will be extended from saturday for a further $120.00 days. no changes to its terms will be at russia, noting that they hope and presume that their concerns about easing sanctions on their own exports are great and fertilizer will be taken into account in the coming days. antonio, good terrorist, talking about the success of discrete diplomacy in finding a multi lateral solution. and president one who convene the talks talking about the importance of these deliveries. more than 11000000 tons of grain delivered by 500 shipments in the last 4 months to countries most indeed, many in the developing world, of course it is clear he said, how important and beneficial this is for the world's food supply and security help for us in keith, thank you. i look forward to our top story of the british finance ministers, autumn statement turned correspond, and re summons joins us now from london. andrew, it seemingly a very detailed presentation of the financial situation. the u. k is what needs to be done to balance the books. so what were the salient points? well, there's a variety of points, but the main issue is taxation. everyone is going to be paying more taxes, stealth tax from income tax, and right across the board. or there's also a windfall tax, which is increased increasing by 10 percent against oil and gas companies are 45 percent levy on electrical generators defense spending that's going up by 2 percent of g. d p a, recognizing the issue of ukraine. and the government says foreign aid, and there's going to be a 0 percent g d p for foreign aid that was wanted. but that would happen. so that's effectively a cut. but there are billions of dollars of cuts to come. and the point that is very controversial is that these cuts are being deferred for 2 years that the main chunk of those cuts come coming in 2 years time in 2025. and of course, that is just after the general election, which has to happen then. so there's a political thrust to this, which is controversial. but let me bring in josh ryan collins, who's an economist of great notes. thank you for joining us on the news. our. what do you make of this autumn statement as is described? well this statement, essentially, although it maintains current spending in cash terms still represents of real towns caught in spending for public services over the next 2 years. because we've got inflation double digit inflation and 7 percent next years. it's been forecast say this happens at a time when we need massive new investment public services when we've got record waiting listed in the n. h s. when we've got local authorities creaking and struggling in social care. so it's not going to do the job of supporting public services and supporting growth. there are some surprises though. although for example, the subsidy on power bills for people that's to be remain the same. and let's go, it's going to be extended, isn't it? with the cost of living allowance for the poor people as well. yeah, no, i'm not saying there's nothing that's positive in this, in this budget, the extension of support for the lowest income household is positive. but the freezing of the tax thresholds will mean that everyone, including middling common for people, will be looking at rising taxes as their wages increase over time. so this is the sort of stealth tax that has been bought in. and that was a political choice. jeremy hunt could have decided to increase taxes on a very wealthy the richest people in society. he could have, for example, increased taxes on wealth. a one percent increase in wealth that could have raised about 10000000000. for example, it could have increased taxes on property reform, property taxes. so there's a number of things he could have done that i think would have been farrah and actually also economically more sensible. you don't want to be taxing equals income . you want to shift the tax burden away from les biding, come, and on to wealth and economic rents. well, the thing is that the we have seen also that the, the health sector education will, will actually be as good off as they, they've ever be that. but would you expect those areas to be cut more heavily where you say they'll be as well off all that they chance restaurants do is, is maintaining her real thomas, maintaining cash terms, spending with a bit of an uplift around schools. and it shows that we need much bigger investment than that. and what they seem to be forgetting is if you don't have a healthy population, you don't have a healthy workforce. and that does affect economic growth. just very briefly please, would you colace a politically charged budget when you consider that a lot of the big cuts are going to come after 2025. yes. he's pushed back the the the big cut. still 20. 20 fog run. there's an action to setter a trap for the labor party. this is very typical as tactics used by governments that what's also interesting, if you didn't hear any of this language about a huge fiscal black hole. and i think there's been an acceptance that massive austerity strategies aren't going to work for you any more. thank you very much. indeed for joining us. yes, sir. doom and gloom for many people. many households right across the u. k. in essence, this is bad news for so many people, but of course the government is insisting it it intends to try to retrieve its reputation on markets and its reputation internationally. however, there is a dark shadow over a lot of the plans for this government and also richey soon act, the new prime minister, his reputation is at stake over whether this thing will actually work under simmons in london forest. thank you. now dutch court is reading out a verdict this our against for man accused of involvement in the downing of flight mh 17. in 2014. the passenger jet was headed from amsterdam to call and paul and was shot down over eastern ukraine, killing all 298 people on board. the netherlands, malaysia, belgium, and ukraine had been working together on the investigation. prosecutor say one ukrainian and 3 russian defendants are responsible. so boston chose to start from shipple airport in the netherlands, or where this verdict is being read out. it's a very long, complicated verdict that's being read out at the moment. and all the families are many of the relative certainly that have been touched by this tragic event. have been listening very intently as to what that verdict may be. well absolutely, it's a very important and emotional day for the hundreds of her relatives who have travelled from all over the world to skip hole to be here, to look for some answers to look for some justice, maybe even closure at the judge in the beginning of his verdict already announce an important thing. yeah, it's very important for the relatives. he said that the court has decided that the i made shaft and teen has actually, and in fact been shut down by a book miss elena surface to air missile. and as it fell near and sorry, it was fired near the field, a parable mice. and that's exactly the scenario that the prosecutors have for a light laid out in a 2 and a half year long trial. and it's also rejecting our, the defense has said that there are more scenarios possible even that the ukranian army could have shot down the plane. so the judge and now has announced that that is not what the court believes. and also a very important fact that he also elaborated on it. of course, it was a war zone, there was a conflict going on. and in a conflict in an international conflict, southfax, the soldiers can have immunity. and he said it was indeed proven that it was an international conflict. he said it was very clear looking at the evidence that russia was controlling the separatist in eastern ukraine. he mentioned a closer advisor to a president put fly the slough gulf as being the one controlling the sap for this. but he said, because russia never openly admitted that the rebels that the separatist in eastern ukraine war soldiers fighting this war. they, the court said they cons half this immunity. so the prosecutors have asked requested a life sentence 3 russians and one ukranian. they are command the leader of this separate this movement of the d p r to don yet people's republic. and we hope to hear in like an hour or so may be less if they are going to be convicted. none of them are here though. the for a suspects have decided not to attend to trials, only one of them is now being represented by a lawyer. of course, we'll come back to you through that verdict as it progresses that bus and the 4th a triple leveled. morehead, here on the news are including cars on his back, a continued allegations of mistreating migrant workers to the world cuff and plenty more from full show piece event. ah, the republicans have 120800 seats in the us house of representatives. this gives them just enough to control the chamber with 6 other seats still being counted. the democrats of $211.00 seats. so for president biden has congratulated the republicans and probably to work with them. but this, when in the mid term elections could give them leverage to block his agenda that speak to white house correspondent, kimberly how can, who joins us now. hi, kimberly, i mean in theory the republicans should be happy that they have the house, but it's that simple moving forward to sort of for the president's agenda. you should know by now in washington, and this is another example of that. this is going to be a divided congress moving forward. what we have is the house of representatives, controlled by republicans and the senate, controlled by again a razor thin margin by the democrats. and so what this means is very little is going to get done because in order to pass laws in the united states need the approval of both chambers, as well as the president's signature. so you see the problem here is the very, to very competing agendas in each of the bodies. and so what is this going to look like moving forward? well, it means that there's very little that is going to be accomplished in terms of new legislation and the president himself, joe biden, is likely to spend the remainder of his 2 years in office defending what he accomplished in the last 2 years. and other words, protecting programs like investing and climate change as well as lauren prescription drug costs. those are things that the republicans in the house of representatives may try to scale back and argue that they're too expensive and they're programs that need to be cut as well. we're also likely to see a shift in terms of those politically motivated investigations. what we saw in the past 2 years, the target was former president donald trump, when democrats were in control of the house of representatives. now the target is likely to be president joe biden. this is all king up for the 2024 presidential election and the attempt to try and throw a little mud on the opponent's data. and i love working with you because we do have a very frank conversation when it comes to questions because they have to be asked . but i do have to ask, of course, you know, we talk about wiggle room for president biden, and we've seen tops in the past that because of the way the republican party is at the moment, it is quite a fractured with trump saying he's going to run for the 2024 election, there are other potential candidates coming forward and in fighting within the republican party. i just wonder from what you're hearing about the way the house is now made up by republicans, that there may be a wiggle room for president biden. he has a long standing relationship with many of these politicians he could bring them on side if the right legislation in the right format is presented to them. is that a possibility? absolutely, it is and aware that wiggle room exists is with some of those establishment republicans that tend to be more traditional, have worked with joe biden in the past. not just when he was vice president, but also when he was a senator, a on capital hill for decades. so there are some establish relationships that still exist. and this is an opportunity for president biden to work with some of those republicans and just very quickly to give you a sense of where this fracture and the republican party is. we thought earlier this week, in the case of kevin mccarthy, he's a representative from california who would like to replace nancy pelosi is the house speaker. come january, he doesn't have the support. he needs right now to win that seat from the members of his own party, given the fact that he has supported donald trump in the past. many don't see him as the right guy for the job. and also, given the fact that republicans didn't do that well in the mid term elections shows that maybe there's not a need for a change in leadership. so you're right about that. given the fact that there is this sort of division within the republican party, it is an opportunity for joe biden to reach across the aisle and try to get things done with not just the democrats on capitol hill, but some republicans as well. but it's always lovely to talk to you. we will continue talking as the story unfolds. kimberly her get the white house correspondent with actual instances, a professor of government at the university of essex. she's in coal, chester in the united kingdom, and joins us now live to expand on this. thank you very much for your time. i mean, disruption by the republicans and sort of in fighting by hard line. this could be a distraction right now in the house and beyond how much of a problem is this for the republican party as a whole and supporters? this is a real problem for republicans. i mean, they have been very united in the past. honestly, they've been united under trump, which hasn't been so great for them either. but at this point we see an opening, there's a splintering here. you have a far right faction. that's going to be very hard to control. that probably still is loyal to trump in spite of the fact that media pundents have been claiming that trump is, is out in terms of the republican party leadership. he still has a strong hold on the party and that moves it to the extreme. and then you have a more traditional republican faction that is trying to get rid of trump and move towards more moderate policies that will give them a better chance at winning elections. this mid term elections with real disappointment in a lot of that was because trump, with such a liability. and so if ever going to be united, which are going to have to be house, republicans are going to be very united in any types of policy that they want to put forward. that's their only chance of getting through anything. and of course they have to deal with the senate, which is a democrat, as we have to i think there's going to be so much in fighting on the republican side. yeah, sorry, i missed that because if you, if you maybe issues with your connection but will continue in terms of the way the hard line is safe in the house of representatives right now. talking to kimberly white house correspondent, she's even suggested we agree that there may be some wiggle room for president biden to deal and work with more moderate factions of the republican party. they themselves, as individuals, have to answer to their constituents. if they side with any sort of legislation from the bite and ministration, is there a fear that they can be seen as a traitor and therefore they might be worried about the next election that comes along and how they might actually stand in it. unfair, good or bad? i mean, it just depends on their district. if we're referring to the house, i mean, some of these republicans are winning just by very slim margins. and so if they really want to chance to do well, i think what this most recent mid term demonstrated is that by going to far extreme to the right, you're going to get punished with the exception of some districts that are very far to the right already but in these very close competitive districts, it's going to be important for republicans to win over moderates and to win over independent voters. and so that's an opportunity for them to appear more bipartisan then affected by all this polarization that has been so negative for us politics. of course, we finding that trans declaration, whether it has been a distraction or not, is certainly making the republican party look at itself within and seeing which way it goes. how vital are the next few months in terms of the way senior politicians, whether they're in the senate or the house behave and say the things they need to say. i mean, that's a really good question, but i don't know if the next few months are as critical once we get to the point where we start to see the actual caucus and primaries take place. because in the, at the moment you're going to have republicans saying ok, trump is a liability that we need to oust ourself from trump. but what really matters to republicans is winning elections and the primaries are going to take place and that tends to move more and more to the extreme. trump has a base that's willing to come out and vote. so i'm really interested in seeing what republican say what he starts to or if he starts to do well in the iowa caucus in the new hampshire primary. or they're going to remain as critical as they are at the moment. and what we've seen in the republicans is they tend to get behind winners and trump is able to pull out any of these early victories, which he might be able to. they have been very reticent to criticize him. fascinating time, certainly for the republican party, linda. natasha. lindsey, thanks so much for joining us from cold chester in the sky. thank you. the workers' rights have been under scrutiny in capital since that one the right to host the world cup. the international labor organization says the working and living conditions the hundreds of thousands of improved in the past decade. because how many officials say the issue has been misused against them? the san vince of it reports. how can we accept such a narrative of hate speech and racism directed us? this has got his minister for labor showing the european parliament what he calls slanderous allegations and a malicious campaign against his country. the football world cup has put other under the microscope, especially on migrant workers who provide almost all of the labor rapid infrastructure growth for the entire country with investment over $200000000000.00 . the quite millions of workers. those states have relied on this transient workforce for years and often economic opportunity came at the cost of many human rights. so the woke up was a catalyst for change. it can say, certainly as accelerated, the labor reforms, the ilo works all over the world, and rarely do we see change happening at this pace. max union had the international labor offices of the chapter, emphasizing the need to do more. he said others made strides to amend laws and the co follow our sponsorship system and provide compensation for victims. the sponsorship program barred employees from changing jobs or employers. but he also admits criticism of migrant issues such as broker debts has not always been objective. this relates to the total number of south asian nationals who have died and guitar over 10 year period. it doesn't make any distinction between whether these a work related death or non work related death. in fact, it even includes people who are not even economically active. so it's really important to understand a little bit more the context in caught are the workforce is incredibly diverse. south asians are working in every sector of the economy across all income levels and they make up a huge proportion of the overall population. 50 to 60 percent of the population. the figure of 6500 is certainly misleading. but that misleading number keeps being quoted on the media. someone talks about 6500 victims. another says 10000 and a 3rd one talks about 15000 as if there was a competition. there shouldn't be any politicizing or using misinformation. so we ask that you refer to official sources like io workers have told us anonymously about some companies not paying them on time and problems, changing employers, officials acknowledge gaps and pointed response times getting better. but they also on the media to make the distinction between companies that break the law and the reforms being implemented by other in addition to workers related issues. thousands of single men have been forced from the accommodations. although this was a means polity issue rather than a labor one, for many workers trying to make ends meet, it's difficult to make that distinction. lottery drivers had to leave their belongings as accommodations were sealed without notice. as many of them were living in shared rooms to save money, there was no electricity in the room, no water, we couldn't go to bathroom. the next day we all had to work. some didn't have a place to sleep, including me. one night i slept in the vehicle, i drive. officials in the government admit the implementation of reforms, needs work, and assured the world that the work up is just one milestone for the countries long term vision. the reforms are based on culture vision 2030. this vision clearly states the needs for reforms linked to the issues. the world cup has sped up these reforms, labor, union, se, in order for more gulf states to make necessary changes for migrant workers. the world must acknowledge the reform by pointing out the gaps. the concern that a vicious campaign against cutter could quote, decapitate the good work done over the years, some and drive it under the ra. well, young people from all of the nation is taking part in the welcome of gathered hearing cancer as part of the generation. amazing, use festival out there is tory gate and b as with them at oxygen park in doha victoria. just tell us what's going on behind you. i can see a lot of dec chess. yeah. where the opening ceremony of the generation, amazing festival, johnny infant, you know, the people president has just left the stage. he's been speaking about his pride at being involved in this organization. a bit of background about it. when cattle won the right to host the 2020 to well cut. the organize is wanted to set up some kind of legacy program to help underprivileged communities through football. it's going on now for 10 years. they set up coaching programs football. ready activities and underprivileged areas of the world, but in the lead up to the world cup, they wanted to expand their reach. so they've invited a young

enjoy. have new experiences. hit the shops, make wonderful memories. travel to turkey with pegasus, and with direct whites to istanbul, and tribe zone book your ticket now for a memorable holiday. c y p g. yes. for our best price it ah ah, what you do there is nissan. welcome back. reminder of all the top stories, the u. k. finance minister, jeremy hunters officially declared his nation is in recession expects the economy to shrink even further in the next fiscal year until his laid out his plans to tackle soaring inflation. ukraine says russia has talked and critical facilities across several cities. doesn't go to miss zalinski, posted this video footage, apparently shot record camera on the blast in the central city. anthony print and the midterm elections are produced. a winner in the house of representatives. republicans now have 219 seats, and this gives them just enough to control the chamber with 6 seats still being counted. now the you and celebrating the 50th anniversary of the world heritage sites program us cuz convention was designed to help protect cultural properties and international conferences. underway in greece. stephen duncan is the chair of the n g o world heritage watch. he's in berlin and joins us now live good time with us mr. don. care on al jazeera milestone in the organizations history. but there are challenges in terms of climate change, sustainable tourism and conflict, which has put some of these locations in an ever increasing dangerous position. absolutely yes. what sort of problems do these locations face? well, of course, as you mentioned, the challenges from climate change from over tourism from conflict. but they're more marcela just because certain members of the signatories of the convention don't feel compelled really to comply with the rules and regulations. and that's a very worrying development. there is a, for instance, the rule that requests the state parties to inform the school about projects that may have an effect on the universe, the value of the site. and more and more countries simply don't broader. so they weaken the regime and they don't allow us both to assess and give advice on implementation. such sometimes even more than another one. sometimes these situations within or without within, within the control of national governments. because as we saw in the breakdown of law and order in iraq and parts of syria groups like isis were able to recover across the middle east and destroy a great deal of heritage. sometimes the government's can't control these scenarios until the peace is brought back to a country or a piece of land. absolutely, one conflict breaks out very little unit school. that's a simple fact because then you have a military logic in this area. and even once you and security department in un headquarters determine a certain area is unsafe and no un personnel would have. ringback permission to, to enter this areas. so, and case of once it happens that simply that has very little the units can do except to push countries or not, not to spare. actually the sites which if, if the armed forces don't have a question about the international law like the have convention that the, you know, they're simply not allowed to display. ringback ringback heritage, then the simply in all, it's a problem. you can indeed, i mean that the by we have the cop 27 conference going on in egypt. climate change is a huge issue throughout the air. it affects all of us in all shapes and unfolds. we've seen quite typically the great barrier reef in off australia's coast often highlighted as a, as a, a barometer of the way the climate is affecting our environment and how unesco continues to plead for its protection. because it is a barometer really of what mankind can do. in terms of destroying the natural world, which is often protected by the unesco convention. absolutely. and unfortunately, the australia is having a very ambivalent position here. they have promised to protect the barrier and they have set up the program. but on the other hand, developing huge coal mines in the interior of the country and shipping the call from coach opposite to the reef, which will have extremely detrimental effects on the reef. and then the cold will be burned in congress and other countries which contribute to climate change. so australia, on the one hand, promises to read on the other hand, is actually contributing to the, the climate change. and the convention clearly says the countries for everything they can to protect their sides. and because certainly that isn't true. and, and we have actually made interventions that countries, when, when unesco determines what to do, they should take into consideration the general policy of a country. and we'll see what comes out of this meeting for the moment. stephen duncan, at joining us from bell, and thank you so much for your time. thank you for having me. now talks to resolve the

cannot allow every one in law live? the only mechanism the dominican republic has, is to show that it will not tolerate migrant irregularity of the deportations. and this is what we are doing. this has nothing to do with ethnical reasons or racism, but under the problem, if the state stops all the potations, we do not know what could happen here. haiti is facing its worse crises. in years. human rights crusades, people are being discriminated against across the region. and they're asking the dominican republic, among other governments for empathy, for those white twain to escape hunger violence and have no place to go. no way of bringing that is i will, i'll just see that the have on, on the haitian border only 7 people had been killed in the wrong by unknown gunman at bazaar in the

course the problem. we want to show great pictures of our place. how long holland, the sweetest county can take some comfort that it's fairly famous for football in its own right. the biggest club homestead produced former arsenal star, frederick young bird and helen county provides the most plays per capita to the swedish top league of any in sweden. but those stats might not be quite juicy
