8:02 pm
on that border. of course, they're all the ports of tens of thousands of russian troops. the people here today represent various different political policies. an activist group is quite a high percentage of would also describe this nationally scripture for the mission field, the same. and it is that the city of car cave and the people that live here are prepared for the worst and they will defend the car give until the last, in a game of a full scale, you know, asian, we would be on the front line here. so yeah, and say in such a support, seeing a number of people or would it be ready to for you to or are resistant anyway, it's important to do like to uplift my own spirit is all a hearing. not again, it's not even right for us on the culture of those physical. absolutely. i don't believe period for me, the good russian is
8:03 pm
a bad russian. let them come. i'm looking forward to seeing them. i know what i will be doing. i was taught to do that and i've done in 2014 and i'll be doing that very well. let them come off. we are waiting for them. what is bad for them is good for us. yes, that's a very interesting things being said on the stage behind me, a man a few minutes ago saying that if the people here wanted peace, then they should be prepared for war and saying that if they needed ammunition, there were places where it could be found was, let's not forget that the situation here is hugely complex. vladimir putin, that said, time and time again that russia has no intention of invading ukraine. and there are a lot of people in this area who do express loyalty towards russia. they see russian language and russian culture as being huge significance. but one thing is, for sure, certainly at this rally to day, a unified voice with the people here will not stand up to bullying from vladimir putin. the 1st batch of us soldiers have arrived in poland as part of an
8:04 pm
additional troop deployment ordered by president joe biden. in total, they are now 2000 american troops, which will be sent to poland and germany, and another $1000.00 already in europe are being redeployed to romania. the u. s. a said it is ready to defend its nato partners against any aggression from russia. has just gone past 6 p. m. in morocco where a nation is praying for the safe recovery of a little boy who's been trapped down a well for days. now let's go to these live pictures that would have been looking at her for some days. now a team has been digging out part of her hill side. it's a delicate, extremely dangerous operation to reach the 5 year old boy. he's been named as raeann. he's been trapped down there since tuesday. well, we're joy now by out as here as hash am a hell by her. so this is a tricky operation with labor, but we believe the rescue workers are now with the boy. but it's
8:05 pm
a very complex operation and clearly very complex to get him out of out of their areas because we're young, fell into this well with a tiny diabetes. the only way to get into him was basically by digging a shaft then going horizontally, finding a tunnel and access tele, moving vertically or all the way to get to him. because the biggest concern as well . i bill zullie, who was one of the top topography in 40 in the rescue mission mission told villages it a while ago for the 2 biggest concerns that are obstacle that hampered, the rusty operation was the lance lies and the rocks because it's a complex ground. partly her sandy and the potential for landslide, when the excavator excavators continue digging is very high. but then sometimes they how they hit rocks and then they have to wait. we've tried everything. they have managed to bring some expert on,
8:06 pm
well digging from different parts of morocco. to bog refers engineers, bulldozers, but the terrain itself is difficult in this part of northern morocco was the terrain is by good and bolton's ant regard. and sometimes the to reign is, is very difficult. her to reach on. this explains why they are desperate. people are desperate it or to hear the latest about about about about tray and the last time the managed to get a glimpse of his physical situation is when they have lowered cables with cameras attached to the cables. the saw him are responding are battling his solitude, his frailty, and the darkness in the well. and i think those 1st pictures from the depth of the well galvanized the moroccans and galvanized the other world. and this explains why people are now watching or looking forward to read, to see him emerging as we're looking at those pictures now. and we can see that he
8:07 pm
is alive in those pictures. that is the hope of course, that he is alive. he is well and dare he has managed to survive this harrowing ordeal. you are, are hashem actually from morocco and this is a very remote part of northern morocco. what more did we know about how he actually ended up or down this well in the 1st place? well, i an, or is other kindergarten it. and he was very proud when he was offered by his parents, a bag and supplies for the school. and he was so excited to go back to school and his, his friends were looking forward to see him and then they were told, unfortunately he still trapped into the well, the last thing that's ray ann did was when his father surprised him with a few candies and he said, the 1st thing i'm going to do is to share those counties with my loved ones. he took one candy hopped out of the house and thus where they never found him or after
8:08 pm
that. now, there is a well near to their place and it's been repaired by his father, but this is a well which has usually been covered. now that we don't know exactly what happened in the meantime, but his mother 1st thought or to hear some cries, she managed to come closer to the well, that's when there was sure it was ryan who was trapped into the well. now, since then, the arrest cures oh, went to the site. and one of the 1st thing they were trying to do is basically how to get to royer. the biggest obstacle of the beginning was the shaft itself. it's very tiny because of a diameter you cannot send rescuers all the way towards re under seem possible array on his tiny is 5 years old. thus this explains why he has been it would have fell into the well and they went for different alternatives. one of these alternatives was trying to look for oxys access tunnels all the way,
8:09 pm
navigating the sandy soil of the rocky ground to be able to, to now the local media are saying that magic's are now inside the well, they've managed to get hold of riah, but we have absolutely no information about whether ryan is still alive or not. is such a horrible hurrying story. hopefully it will have a good ending for now, hassam al barry. stay with us because we can get a bit more on the rescue operation itself. we can speak to amar, mersa, he's a coordinator for the united states national cave rescue commission. he joins us now from bloomington, indiana, you've been following the story closely for us. talk us through, why's been so difficult to gain access to this little boy? so as you've already heard, the diamond or the world is very small. so hearing an adult down, there would be very difficult it possible, but also in an consolidated sediments of the,
8:10 pm
the co risk of collapse just by trying to enter the well is very high. so what kind of expertise is needed to carry out an operation like this, and do they have that sort of expertise there? so everything that i can tell from looking at the reports is that they have some of the best people in that area to be able to do that unique people. who are our engineers for civil engineering, such as soil compactness and stability by 8 mining engineers. and excavating engineers and all of these skills are very common type of skills in civil engineering. so when you're constructing roadways than the like, so you've been morocco, it's, they have those people available. but the situation itself is just so incredibly dangerous. and what is important when it comes to keeping the boys safe? we've talked about the narrowness of the tunnel at the earth being loose and, and caving down on him, for example. what,
8:11 pm
what do they have to think about in terms of sending things down there or protecting him? so even even sending down the camera and the airline that they put down there, carry some risk because dislodging material, even if the entire thing didn't collapse, that would not take much to bury him. and that's not a simple operation. so it has to be done extremely carefully, which it sounds like they've been successful so far with that. and there's also the secondary risk in digging the side access tunnel that they have been that the tunnel itself that they're doing, the walls of that can collapse. and that could, could kill rescuers. and so again, incredibly delicate, here and 8. okay, thank you for your analysis. i'm, i miss a coordinator for the united states national cave rescue commission. joining us that from bloomington, indiana. as soon as we have any more updates on the story, we will of course, bring them to you. still ahead on al jazeera

8:16 pm
our existence or the mission would have been at great risk mohammed though, as an add a sub or by with more in the story. these concerns about the number of coups these continent has had before the past out wanted to have years 6 of them in total for them in west africa, which has traditionally been known as the cool belt of africans and they are the eas, the shortfalls on covered vaccinations in the continent, only 11 percent of the continents of people have been fully vaccinated so far on the e's real need for a push on that. and now joining me to discuss all these a father is a former prime minister of the republic of kenya. rayleigh or dingo, who is also a high representative on infrastructure for the african union studying. are you seeing a resurgence of cruise in africa there seems to be
8:17 pm
a disconnect between the lead us and the people. what in your opinion, is causing this resurgence of a coups when people were thinking that africa was finally on the road to democracy? well, it is a ugly, a very regrettable development. the continent that did democracy, physician crosses that it is, it started out in the early ninety's is a russian and some parts of a continent. a judge begin being begin to see generals on the streets. i took over the government. i think it is a face. it says to do either the luck tones of the limited leadership to actually deliver to the people. and secondly, i also showed you the constitution's ah,
8:18 pm
to extend the town and also the rain is delicious. no silver heads up the rigging of elections themselves. and of this, do you just no, not a willing to to, to perform according to the requirements of the people. hm. i think this is local. what is a bring back. these are new to crews and they also real challenge with their covered 19 vaccinations in africa. only 11 percent, only 2 countries have managed to vaccinate a 70 percent of their people and that's say, shells and malicious were, you know, have got very tiny populations. what is, i mean? is there a remedy for this? and you, do you think africa could be able to m intensify its physician process? certainly is. i think her, this is an area where the us to be a bit of compulsion that the government has really to come out
8:19 pm
a loan to afford. and just a could foster people to go and get rich niches cuz it is for them for their protection. for example, i saw a king of the government saying that if you don't have vaccination, you're not going to a good government services. for example, some people are seeing those unconstitutional and son, but i think if visit being done in order to serve life and serve the people that the government is entailed to the took all the measures necessary to ensure that people get vaccinated for you as his waving sanctions on iran's civilian nuclear program as talks to save the 2015 agreement which a critical stage. donald trump ended the waiver 2 years ago when he was president to her and says that one's guarantees from washington for the revival of the agreement. oh yeah. that am americans must show the good will in action. in our
8:20 pm
view, this means tangible things happening on the ground. lifting part of the sanctions in a real and objective manner could be interpreted as the good will the americans talk about. all right, so santa has a reaction from teheran is quite significant because this is maybe the 1st time doing the by the decision that the practical action is being taken. iranian had some conditions to take forward the talks and they were asking the immediate removal of the sanctions and all the sanctions regarding the nuclear nuclear file. and they were asking for the, what is the cations and the guarantees, by what if occasion, they are seeing that not under, on the paper, but you run needs to see the practical actions taken by, do you see that the sanctions are removed and also be, are asking for the guarantees that in case of any nuclear deal,
8:21 pm
this is going to go beyond by than administration and is going to be binding for the next president of the u. s. a. however, the usa says that it is almost impossible regarding the american political system, but when it comes to the reputation, they say that they can give some of the guarantees. so in this sense, the partial removal of the sanctions from the u. s. c is quite a practical to tap and it is welcomed in, in, in, in the usa store for that hasn't been direct was between iranians and americans and the minister of iran. appli ya said that if the practical actions are taken down, there might be a direct talks between the 2 parties. and this a step is a kind of practical action that cool a paved way for data tours between americans and iranians in police in canada, as capital a,
8:22 pm
vowing to crack down what they call the increasingly dangerous process by hundreds of truck drivers, roads, and also have been gridlocked for more than a week. now the purchase began in opposition to canada's requirement that any truck has cross in the us border must be vaccinated against current of ours. well, the anger has since brought into general frustration with the pandemic restrictions . chevron c is out that protest in ottawa, what he says about a hauled pour of about 250 truckers and protests as human count out in this central downtown for all to a outside the parliament building. you can hear the trucks, you can see the trucks, or is it agree with now that the trucks theoretically only holds between 11 and 930 and 11 of evening because the residence have been completed? you can imagine this is like the company. i really am really all definitely making that whole bug that voices heard least the trucks heard. it's going be all just
8:23 pm
being a, a, a protest against cross border vaccine mandates for truckers. as we've seen in protests around the world. they've been able to tap into our general armies about pandemic restrictions, but you don't speak to one of the protest. this joke is here. he's a teacher. in fact, joke, why are you here today? i'm here from our kids. kids are work worth of my family. but what, what is the issue here? this brought you out. what are you trying to achieve? well, we're here because we want freedom. we want, we want to live free, free of mandates. free of the tyranny, which is oppressive power right now, which the government is exercising. overall canadians were done. we tried your way . let's try ours. some of these protests to say they weren't leave until the today, governments is overthrown, which is rather i'd like to be given to those recently been been reelected and walk these protests as do of as their secret weapon is. of course,
8:24 pm
net tricks. we've covered, protest in the, in towns before we've seen the ruthlessness with, with, with which the canadian authorities ruefully remove progresses, only environments and pipelines or indigenous issues. but these are trucks very little to move them and very little to see how this is going to be resolved in the short term. the carnivorous pandemic, closed schools all over the last in america with home doors, particularly hot heads as money were, pallor, reports, extreme poverty, limited internet access, and classrooms babbling, needing repair, falling back to back hurricane. all add up to a big crisis. load this to her is struggling to keep her children focused on school assignments. she says it's hard enough being a mother of 3, but providing her kids with a decent education in honduras, one of the poorest countries in latin america is a daunting challenge. i thought i had about our family. everything here depends on
8:25 pm
parents. lessons at schools are very bad. we have to contribute with everything. and many parents can't on. we don't have the money to buy the things that teachers say they need not when you left her. even before the pandemic, the education system in honduras was already in decay. but the death blow came in the form of to back to back hurricanes, which damaged and destroyed dozens of schools across the northern part of the country. in 2021, despite ongoing rebuilding efforts more than a year on many or still wondering when there will be schools for students to return to the alumni lock that well up. okay. but many schools here were destroyed, even though they say in person classes will start soon. i don't think they will because all the buildings here are still destroyed. students are due back very soon at this small public school in shamella gone, one of the poorest suburbs of some federal sula, but the director says a complete lack of support from the government has slowed their preparations.
8:26 pm
armando daniel has a honduran, i feel ashamed over the handling of the pandemic, how the education system has been deficient. and i dare to say that many teachers have been the ones who rescued education by going the extra mile teachers directors and parents have been attentive to the work that's been assigned. another major obstacle to learning is a lack of internet access. it's estimated that less than 13 percent of households in honduras have access to a computer and internet and last year, as schools remain closed due to pandemic restrictions. as many as 600000 students abandoned the education system altogether. according to statistics from the world bank, the coven 19 pandemic has said back educational efforts in honduras by almost half a decade. in issue, the newly elected president of honduras seal motta castle has promised to make a top priority. manuel to the apollo al jazeera san pedro sula honduras.

now living in the british isles means you're never too far from the sea, but with climate change and rising sea levels, cliffs happened crumbling, taking homes with them on top of that storm. damage and flooding could make some coastal communities uninhabitable within the next 30 years. as general reports from devon, difficult decisions will have to be made on which areas are saved or surrendered to the sea. this is sidney from the devon coast. a georgian town that lost a 100 meters of shoreline in a century. a rate that's now close to double in places on its east beach. the clips have been crumbling for years. where once there was climate denial, there is now an unavoidable reality. as we watched another section and fell into the sea, a certain climate change now has to change people's perception in the last couple
8:28 pm
years. i think there's a recognition that there's a tremendous danger from climate change. coastal defense is already in place, protect the towns prominent. but they've affected the natural title drift, making things worse for the nearby cliffs. down here at the water line, you can clearly see the forces of nature weighing on this landscape down one side. this river runoff made heavier by more frequent storm activity. up above the cliffs, heavy rainfall that saturated the soil from below the waves lapping all the way pretty much up to the base of the cliffs. their own beats protection washed away. it's a 3 pronged assault, making this world heritage site and others like it all the way up and down the drastic coast. vulnerable, fragile, prone to collapse. the problem is people live up here, some in large houses with majestic see views and fast receding from lawns.
8:29 pm
it is worrying, but i assume with the my age is not going to be a physical problem to myself. but the further down the road you get over asleep is the worry will get larger. and there are gardens that are literally falling into the sea down. absolutely. and at some stage they've got to do something to protect the town. a 2020 report by the committee on climate change found that 1200000 homes in the u. k are at high risk of flooding, and a 100000 more will succumb to coastal erosion in decades to come. there's increased funding for protection but not everywhere can receive it. and that means hard choices lie ahead. basically telling those people who lives there. but you will not be will no longer be able to live here in the next 203040 years, you'll have to abandon your house because we can no longer afford to, to protect you. now, those are really, really tough decisions. and they, they, those sorts of decisions will, will increasingly be necessary in the future. the homeowners overlooking east beach,

a, clinging on for now, there are plans being worked out by the local council for a protective barrier to be placed in the c. it's a race to hold back the rising tide. jonah haul al jazeera sidmouth. ah, i'm on the inside with the headlines on al jazeera ukrainians have marched in concave, the city, which could be 1st in line for invasion by russian forces demonstrate as condemned what they called russian aggression. the kremlin denies 125000 if its troops are waiting near the border about attack. charles traffic has the latest.
