our borders. it's our territory. you know, i have to speak with our people like and unit, you know, like, like bread and, and said people throughs. and the tools that we have different information. and now the best friend for enemies that hispanic in our country. and all this information details only for benny doesn't help us. that says the united states begins evacuating non emergency stuff from his embassy in key f, germany, the netherlands, and the u. k. and among the latest countries order their citizens to leave immediately, russia has mast, an estimated $130000.00 soldiers around the north and the east of ukraine, including in bella, rou, sweat. it's conducting 10 days of the biggest of a war games between the 2 countries to the south, russian warships of blocking large areas of the black sea and the sea of ourself,

a naval drills. he have says, it's making navigation virtually impossible. now we've got 3 sets of correspondence on the story and this are now in a moment. we're going to get the latest from our white house correspondent, kimberly how could we're going to have reaction from moscow with dorsey jabari. first we're going to go to natasha butler, who's in the ukranian capital kiev. natasha. and we had the president of you train their calling for com. but at the same time, embassies of foreign governments are pulling their staff out. well, that's the thing. it is not a very easy job for the a cranium president calling on people not to panic, telling them that they have to stay calm. but as you say, the same time, we have a several countries that are cooling on their people to leave ukraine, their citizens, to leave the country as soon as possible, unless they really need to be here. you also have countries that are pulling out that diplomatic stuff,

the united states pulling out it's diplomatic stuff. they've been conflicting reports to day as to whether or not the russians are pulling their diplomats out. some say they are of the say they're not, it is not clear yet. we're trying to clarify that. nevertheless, we're still in a situation where russia says it has absolutely no intention of invading ukraine, but that is not the story coming from the united states from western powers who say that an attack could be imminent. the russia has all the a military forces and a hardware on ukraine's border to launch an attack is a very tense situation. indeed, we know that there's still a lot of diplomatic effort going on amongst western power, joe biden, to speak to a, the russian president vladimir putin and who micro has been speaking to vladimir putin . we haven't heard from the elisa yet as to how long that call went on for whether or not it is still going on or whether it is finish. we will likely hear more from that call a little bit later from a presidential sources but

a lot of diplomatic efforts. but even at the same time, it does seem as if the diplomatic avenues seem to be a disappearing things off by day. by day i have to say looking more pessimistic, that i know that you were at a mart chauffeur that was being held for veterans and their supporters and other groups and so on. what were you seeing there? there's hundreds of people were i in the center of care, they're actually walking across the city. now there were veterans there from the conflict that has been ongoing now for nearly 8 years in the east of the country between ukraine and a russian back separatist forces veterans. they're another people. they will come out to say that, look, whatever happens if we were to be attacked or we would fight back. ukraine is strong and we are proud nation. there wasn't no any sense of panic. people very

much feel that they've heard these kind of a messages before they say they've been living with a sort of threat from moscow for many years now. but i did speak to one man, actually from britain who said he's been living here for the last couple of years. and many of the foreigners here, the expect communities that many of them are leaving. they were feeling okay. up until a few days ago he said, but people are starting to feel a little bit more nervous. he said, of course, people with ties to ukraine. people are children, he will be staying. but a, some others he said, are deciding to leave as natasha, battle, bringing yourself to date from kia. want to bring in the dosage or barring she's talking to us from moscow. so she mentioned donna the door said this phone call between the u. s. secretary of state on the russian foreign secretary you to take place. what can we expect from that? well that a phone call has already taken place. we've been hearing from the russian foreign

ministry who i've put out statements about what the russian foreign minister survey lover of had to say to his american counterpart. sir, good lover off told anthony blinking, that this kind of misinformation campaign is and trying to is actually aimed at trying to create an aggressive situation. and it's a provocation against russia at the russian. foreign minister also said that this campaign focused on russian aggression against ukraine, and it's considered as provocation by the russians. and a lover also said that the u. s. is creating hysteria to distract from the mean points about russia security concerns, which the u. s. has yet to really address the foreign minister said that the americans have not been discussing the main concerns that the russians have put forth to nato and the u. s. as of december and that really all of this and narrative and rhetoric coming from the u. s. is aimed at distracting from the main

issue, and that is russia's main concern about nato's expansion further eastwards. we also have heard from the russian foreign ministry prior to the call. and the statements that have come out from the ministry of said that provocation, misinformation, and threats. these are the favorite methods by, at the west to solve their own problems. and all of this is creating the current crisis that we're in. we've also been hearing from the white house from a how the u. s. secretary of state saw that phone calls go between himself and his russian counterpart. and it seems very much to have the same tone as previous calls . anthony blinking said that the response to the russians should they decide to invent ukraine from the americans in its allies would be resolute, massive and united trans atlantic response. it appears that the phone conversation really didn't achieve much and they both sides just reiterated their position, which they have been over the past few weeks or so. thank you very much. and he

does dorsey jabari talking to us from moscow. let's go to our white house correspondent, kimberly hall could. let's talk about the evacuation of this personnel from the, from ukraine in the u. s. is bringing out it's non emergency personnel and that's a significant distinction. i would have thought because would that indicate that there is still some hope that by leaving senior diplomats there that is a chance that they might be able to talk about this yeah, before we get to evacuations, i want to get to the news. we just had a read out of the secretaries, wrote secretary of state, lincoln's phone call with his counterpart lab rav. and what he said was the secretary made clear that a diplomatic path to resolving the crisis remained open, but it would require moscow to de escalate and engage in good faith discussions. he reiterated that should moscow pursued the path of aggression and further invade ukraine. it would result in a resolute, massive, and united transatlantic response. now, to be clear,

that's not the phone call that everybody is focusing on the phone call. everybody's focusing on today. saturday here in the united states is the one that is imminent, and that is the one that is due to take place in about 3 hours time. and that is with latimer putin and the u. s. president joe biden, and they have not spoken since late since late last year. and the message that is going to be communicated is going to be one of unity resolved between the allies and partner. these transatlantic partners. as the u. s. is accusing the russian side of escalating tensions and now that the national security advisor has said without evidence, we should point out that there is now this window according to military intelligence, that there is likely to be an imminent attack. this is what all eyes are focused on . now, in terms of this phone call, it is important to know that there was

a phone call. this phone call was proposed by the russian side, and it was proposed for monday. the united states counter proposed and asked for it today. so the big question and all this is what is going to happen on sunday. and that is why the u. s. president feels it is so urgent to have this call and why there is so much attention focused on there is this last hope that this call can potentially avert some sort of military clash or crisis. and that is why this dual track of diplomacy and deterrence, the u. s. and its allies have been pursuing, is really it's how there is hope that this can really be this last push to try and avert some sort of crisis. now to get to your question about evacuations, i think it's important to know that this is something that the united states doesn't want to use in terms of the word evacuations. in fact, the white house press secretary pushed back vehemently on this, saying that the united states citizens inside ukraine have since last month been

notified that the situation is rapidly deteriorating and that they had the option to leave at any time. but since then, given this window, given the fact that the united states military intelligence suggests that the vladimir putin, although, as they say that there has not been a final decision made or they don't know if latimer putin has ultimately decided to evade, they believe that we're in this window now where he will or by the end of the olympics that are being held currently and mos are in beijing that in fact they say that this is a dangerous, precarious time conditions could evaporate very, very quickly or deteriorate very, very quickly. and that's why they're saying that any sort of american citizen or non essential staff at the embassy must get out of ukraine as soon as possible. company. thank you very much. indeed. that's kimberly hawker at our white house correspondent in washington dc. study more ahead on the news are including canadian

supp driver's define a court order to clear a vital border crossing with america. after days of protesting against cope with 19 rules, i'm going to take you to the deserted spanish village that's re emerged after a major drought and chelsea on palmetto, so hoping to be crowned fifo club world can't champions for the 1st time later, peter is going to be here with that story in the sport. ah, a convoy of vehicles is blocking traffic in central paris after making it past police checkpoints to get into the french capital. police had been intercepting vehicles that were part of the so called freedom convoy to rally against pandemic rules. they're inspired by similar protests in canada. thousands of police have been mobilized. several rallies are expected over the weekend on a speak to peter who me in paris. he's a professor and a freelance journalist. good to have you with us. is this only about coven 19

restrictions? or is the more to it? no, i think it's a mixture of the reasons and various causes, of course that we have the anti facts is taking part in this and those that one, some of the restrictions that have been in place for so many months, if not years in france and elsewhere in the world to restrict some access without the green past the vaccine past, the fact that you have to wear masks out from the age of 36 at school. ironically, all of these restrictions are eventually going to be lifted according to french authorities, probably by towards the end of this month, the end of february. and then we have those that are complaining about the state of the economy are rising energy costs, which is it countries across, across the world, certainly being felt quite strongly here in weston western europe and in france. and also the cost of living in general. incidentally, these last 2 economic factors, reasons for the protest are likely to dominate the upcoming french presidential

elections in about 2 months time. so there's a variety of reasons that so we've seen hundreds, if not close to a 1000 vehicles converge on to paris. they've been stopped by and large by the police. some of the drivers have been fined, but i'm just looking at some video coming in now. i'm not french media showing that some of the protesters having left their vehicles around the outskirts of parents have made that way on public transport. and even on foot to the shows that he's a and the police have 1st started using gas to try and disperse them off. what is the main thoroughfare and in the center of paris, you know, we mentioned before the thousands of police have been called out. and yet, as he was talking about, people are being seem to be able to get past a lot of the blockades that the police have been putting in place. how concerning is that given the size of the crowds and the nature of the protests which are encapsulating? i have several different elements. what's the rich do you think that this could

turn into another seem like the yellow vest process that we saw in the last couple of years? you want to do it? i think there have been some comparisons already and a happy one or 2 of the protesters wearing that distinctive high visibility yellow best. so i'm taking part in this, in this protest. i'm looking at live pictures again. now coming in, this situation seems a vaguely calm down there is some, there is still a presence on the shore to lisa and the police are trying to restrict and clear that area. nevertheless, it's, it's something that the politicians on the french authorities are very much aware of the, the problems facing the population. and certainly those that live out in the provinces, in terms of energy costs, in particular, petrol. the majority of people outside of parents in the big cities obviously rely on their own means of transport to get to and from work to do their shopping, take that kids to school and so on and so forth. so this is really hitting the

french in their pocket and it's something i think the authorities are aware of, but they declared this protest a legal they gave no permission to this or taking the full force of the law. ready or in terms of trying to disperse the protesters predicament, we appreciate your time joining us and i'll just here. so thank you very much. and a truck drivers in canada are ignoring a judge's order to stop blocking the largest trade route to the united states. 5 days of destruction to traffic in the ambassador bridge. as for some of the factories across the board to shut down because of the lack of parts from canada, runnels reports and ontario is superior court judge, ordered right wing protestors to stop blocking a vital bridge between canada and the united states. on friday truck drivers and others clogging the ambassador bridge over the past 5 days have disrupted industrial supply chains on both sides of the border,

forcing some auto factories to close. the bridge carries one quarter of all trade between the countries earlier prime minister just and trudeau gave a warning to the occupiers who have been severely disrupting everyday life in the canadian capital ottawa for 2 weeks. it is time for these protesters to go home. it is time to recognize that this protest is blockade his illegal. everything is on the table because this unlawful activity has to end trudeau spoke with you as president joe biden, about the demonstrations and their conservative american supporters. we discussed the american and indeed global influences on the protest. we talked about the u. s . based flooding of the 9 on one phone lines. in ottawa, the presence of u. s. citizens in the blockades and the impact of foreign money to fund this illegal activity. the occupiers who call themselves the freedom convoy,

have been lavishly praised and encouraged by personalities. on the right, leaning fox news channel, police officers moved among the trucks and other vehicles snarling city streets, collecting license, plate information, demonstrators heckled and jeered at them. oh, the protests started among truck drivers, angered by a requirement they be vaccinated against cove at 19 when crossing back and forth over the u. s. border. but it has metastasized into a general anti government movement. how to and the convoy. yeah, you got and the mandate got and the mandates and personally i'll watch her own whoever's point ro stories, pull dawn out of canada. i don't care what happens to them. but the guardian banished us. authorities are on guard against similar protests in los angeles aimed at disrupting this weekend super bowl. the department of homeland security

asserting additional staff to its incident command post their strong cooperation with the california highway patrol, the los angeles police department, the anti vaccine protesters are certainly a minority in canada. 88 percent of its citizens have received at least one dose of the vaccine. rob reynolds al jazeera. but among the sectors most affected by the truckers blockading canada is the u. s. auto industry. it's already suffering a supply chain crisis led by a shortage of semiconductor chips. and as john hand reports from chicago, the industry showing it may be down, but it's not out. the largest auto show in north america rolls back to chicago and it's gone electric, new electric cars, trucks, even a hybrid camper of sorts of bound here as u. s. automakers plug into a trend say years ago by their european and asian counterparts. but just a few kilometers away, production lines at chicago's only auto plant have ground to a halt. sidelined by

a lack of the computer chips needed to power them as consumers around the world gumble up chips to run new home electronics during ongoing viral locked downs. the chip shortage has been going on for, let's just say a year and it's likely to continue. it has caused the, you know, decrease in the production of vehicles and that is cause prices to go up as always happens when there's a shortage in supply. both new cars and used cars. it's unfortunate and chances are it's going to last another year. is chip makers rush to build more semiconductor plants. the computer chip shortage is just one of the series of pandemic. you're a supply problem. assembly lines have also stopped it forward and toyota plants in canada and shifts have been caught at general motors factories in michigan as anti vaccine truckers protesting cove at 19 rules block border crossings. and carmakers

supply chain. i would say it's a supply crisis and on some level at all, really does trace back to the pandemic on in one way or another. even the blockade at the canadian border right now between the us and canada is what's it about? it's about masks and vaccines so that the microchip shortage all traces back to the pandemic. if he had damage his really thrown a monkey wrench through the automakers just in time manufacturing system. it was pioneered by toyota and it works like this. say this part was made in the us on a monday. well it could be delivered on a tuesday and im stall into a car manufactured in canada 2 days later. that way nobody has to warehouse the thing that works well in good times. it's not elisa, as the auto industry accelerates toward an increasingly electric future, the question you as carmakers face is how soon can they increase production and lower skyrocketing prices to meet pent up pandemic demand. john henderson, l g 0,

chicago. okay, let's go back to our top story of the tensions over ukraine as the u. s. warrens of an imminent russian invasion. let's take a closer look at how russia and ukraine compare militarily. russia's armed forces dwarfs ukraine's. moscow has almost 3 times as many troops that are more than 100500 fighter jets in russia's military ukraine, as just 67. and they're outgunned on the ground to give has fewer than 2 and a half 1000 tanks compared 213000 in russia. president vladimir putin has a mass about a $130000.00 troops around ukraine's borders along with tanks, heavy artillery and armored vehicles. but ukraine is getting western support, its biggest ally, the united states, is sending $200000000.00 worth of military aid, including anti armor missiles and ammunition. let's speak to anna massey over in london. she is a visiting senior research fellow at kings college in london. and

a member of the russia and eurasia security research group. thank you very much indeed for being with us. one thing that everybody is trying to get a grip on is what vladimir putin is thinking. and that seems to be one of the most elusive things. is he looking to expand russia landmass or leverage? i didn't think that we are looking at a massive lamp and mation from rush. i think it is very, very unlikely. we are mostly looking probably at the another massive intelligence failure. we had a thread loss down. does that make it enough? got us them. and then with ukraine case, the threat level is lottie older than me. they west of calls, of course, very interested to see how their weapons would actually be form again, a real enemy in real life in accommodation. because some of them have never been peasant like this. but i will have to disappoint them. that web probably moved to

point to see this actions. i think that it is, oh, the pressure on them is really on the west to really find european security and also for the west to put some pressure on key of talk. i keep their side of them that mentation of minutes agreement, but i do not think that we are looking at the actual military threat or grounded nation if russia isn't intending to invade. how does it benefit the u. s. and nato members to basically predict what they are doing, which is that russia is going to invade imminently. as i said, i think that this is something which is a very amber, it's bay over to me. like i've got a son was very on this to me and took the united states by surprise. so now they're thinking, okay, now we have to be really prepared. so we have to wait our citizens now. so that not to have something like had, we had seemed in couple

a few months earlier. why huh. no. you as book, the only scenario under which russia come in, maybe crane is only if your cranium armed forces stop at major lamp offensive, and inland government control territories in the south east. and you crazy don't bust. it came in my, you blan, likely about ukrainian. the ship such a reckless step that with me and that they will have to break out of music agreements. wiley, they commitments to the are going to zation of security and cooperation in europe. lost a lot of goodwill in the west. so yes they are, they're us team issues with the mom, government controlled areas. but i think premium innovation is unlikely because back will be the all new trigo which come on in the shade,

some kind of ration on the response. again, it's separate. think it's a battle of nerves president put in is actually when called about it, but he wants to redefine the european security order. this is all what is about. therefore, find the situation. and what do you think the geopolitics of western europe and asia are going to look like? well, about each, i think, well, they had applied to this question because now there is more of a kind of alliance between around china and chinese. single ok. we have rushes back in the east, so it kind of go on with your so security problems with the west because we are going to have quite a big kind of land mass on the security. what a gym is trying to do is trying to get some concessions from the west

on ukraine in terms of implementation. look, man speaker meant also a kind of control on the mount. how much you were and deployed against he will probably get somewhere. oh, he's not going to fulfill his agenda, but he will achieve something and they probably like high cost, but really crazy isn't right after this crisis because of course, financial stability, the market, the investment quote for this the economy which is just started to recover from base about what to take the blow, we really appreciate you joining us and i'll just get him on giving us the benefit of your expertise animal if you have a thank you so much. thank you for having me. thank you. i started over a world weather updates. here's rob. it's cycling seasons. i specifically just had

a quite a major one. just go through new caledonia now heading south with some speed, which is all you think the cold water is, is going to get, i think so soon by this master plan has been given a lot of rain in new zealand over the last few days. so what is really doing is adding a lot of impetus to this and for the north south on the south north island as a combination of rain, strong winds, and if you're really unlucky snow, but we've got a forecast of up to 270 millimeters now you just imagine that amount of rain, i don't use it in the workplace, but this will cause flooding at the forecast for weddington isn't quite that bad, but even here you talk about a 180 millimeters of rain, severe gale. some of these slowly improving through monday and tuesday not a brilliant forecast really. back in australia, bloom with heat is taking over is come through from science or west australia, $45.00. and i think we're trying to get to sunday melbourne in adelaide. we haven't low thirties is quite high for this time of year. the forecast. so melbourne. 34

degrees on sunday was normally the, nor the stays in so that when that of the hot interior with and about the average of 2627. by the time we get to tuesday, beyond the temperatures, it's a fairly fine forecast. so head and all 0. these palestinians are being closed out of their homes because these really military wants to train on their lands. i'm into everything from the occupied to west beg, i'll bring you the story next. under wind for the ages, the snow borders who rob gold, with the winter olympics, against bibles off their age. peter has more in sports ah, from international politics to the global pandemic. and everything in between, it did not respond to poor people and pure our planet promised to ensure the safety of women. what happened that doctor 15 got pulled back,

that people actually have more feel. why is the u. k, so hostile to transfer the mystery to all of us join me if i take on the live dismantled misconceptions and debate the contradiction. carmen get up front on al jazeera in iran, the head of a mental health hospital experiments with a bold new treatment. the therapeutic power of love, the prescription romance against all odds. his patience embraced the matrimonial remedy. but can wedlock lead to becca well being on his board? the marriage project witnessed on al jazeera ah

ah, watching audio 0 reminder of what top stories this are the ukranian president deserves citizens not to panic. as warnings grow of a potential russian invasion, something moscow denies. the u. s. is evacuating and non emergency american stuff from its embassy here. the russian foreign ministers accused the u. s. of conducting a propaganda campaign about a possible invasion. sergey love was speaking with you. a secretary of state anthony blank and ahead of a planned call between the us and russian presidents later than saturday. thank please have been intercepting vehicles trying to enter paris for so called freedom convoy protests. they're inspired by similar rallies in canada. thousands of officers have been mobilized, shall anchors president has declared that health and power workers provide essential services. that means it's illegal for them to take strike action. public

health care workers walked off the jobs earlier this week to demand a better pain conditions than al fernandez is outside the national hospital in colombo. obviously, these services are continuing without disruption or as cancer treatment or women's and children services. for example, there was a man who i caught a few minutes ago walking out of the accident service, had fallen off a roof. now, yes, he was treated, but he had to go off site to our place close by to actually get an x ray. because lab technicians, i included in the nursery, the other technicians and services that are affected by the stroke. the health worker said that they are still in consultations with their lawyers. they haven't called off the work stoppage. it's in the 6th day. and they said that this is a very, very serious fact that the government should not be bringing in this essential services act to force them to come back to work. on the other hand,

the electricity engineer say that this is a very cosmetic solution, and they agreed that obviously electricity is part of the essential services. but they seem the same when the government should give it do recognition. the problem is the effect it has on ordinary people. people who do not have the resources to seek private healthcare. and this is the worst part of this work stoppage where the health strike is concerned. and that's what the government says, or is the key factor that has prompted them to take this measure. to bring in this essential services act revision are rendering all such a work stoppage as by these sectors as illegal owners of prisoners in miramar have been granted amnesty as part of the 70 for union de anniversary. but a celebrating unity agreement with ethnic minorities is overshadowed by the repressive life from many under military will only change with voice squatters

soldiers marching through the dawn light, the men must capital nippy door part of the celebrations for union t. the parade mark 75 years since the signing of an agreement. the united mia mas ethnic groups, senior general men on lie who lead last years military coups, the guest of honor. hugo, one, amanda ali. in his address to the nation, he praised the unity of all the people in myanmar saying that come through thick and thin together. as part of the celebrations state, meteor announced an amnesty for 800 prisoners across the country. since the qu, more than 12000 people have been arrested as military, try to silence, protest as and stop descent flow, whose identity were concealing was a student. when the protests against the qu started, he was arrested and jailed in march. the conditions he says were brutal regard and there were intimidating us in prison,

not to fight against the gender. you authorities in prison use the criminals to repress us. if something happened in the prison, not only the prison staff but also the criminals came to beat us. eventually he was released in october, and despite the fear he felt in detention, he says he still prepared to show his opposition to the curb. do not dollars for the although i was arrested. my revolutionary spirit isn't gone. i still resent them and want to fight against them. protest is now appears flash mobs quickly, unfurling their banners and running down the streets before the security services arrive, despite the arrest disappearances and shows a force from the military. as seems to be one thing that unites the people of myanmar these days. their refusal to accept life under military rule, tony ching elders are some palestinian families are being forced out of their homes multiple times a year because of his really military drills. they have to live in temporary accommodation until the exercises wind up honestly to abraham reports from the

occupied west bank. the constant disruptions of caused many families to move out for good. in the early hours of the morning, these palestinian families are being forced to leave their homes and belongings. these are the military sometimes uses this area in the north of the occupied west bank as a training ground. this means that people who have lived here for a decade have to stay away for as long as the i will decides, is necessary. israeli military jeeps move between homes to ensure everyone has left palestinians here. say it's not their 1st order to leave their home. this year and fear it won't be the last, the while the frontier. they'll stay here until each one of us leave their home. they'll say, why aren't you yet? it's 8 a. m, you have to leave explosions like these often break the piece here. no, you must, i fear for the children. they get scared of the bombing. i tried to call them down,

but we're scared to. i remind them not to touch anything the i mean these behind because it might explode with people here say they have nowhere else to go. so they have to stay out until they're allowed to return to their homes. after midnight, the military drill will continue for 3 days, which means they'll have to go through this again. twice this week. the israeli army told al jazeera that it takes measures to protect civilians during the exercises. but is really officers previously said that trainings are used to push palestinians out 7 families left their homes on tuesday, but many more people used to live here. 48 families once lived in this village called bleak. now there are only 22 kids command says he had to relocate his home 5 years ago because he was tired of these displacements. still, he says his land is under threat auckland window, so i've lost half of my garage because the thanks went over them. i've had

a piece of land landed with bodily and they're completely ruined. these videos are from his really through his in january. people here say 8 structures were demolished, then farmers we spoke to said they're not leaving their land. some even snuck back in before the end of the drill. they wanted to take care of the cattle and you lamb was born was some, took the risk to return home. others remain without a roof over their heads until they are allowed to go back home. neither ever have elders eda the occupied west. thank you. as president joe biden has signed an executive order to distribute $7000000000.00 held an afghan funds, the money was deposited in new york by the ask on central bank before the taliban to power in august. half of the funds will go towards humanitarian efforts in afghanistan, and the other half to relatives of victims of $911.00 and all that attacks by arm to groups. let's not speak to sir. whoa. shaheen is

a spokesman for the taliban who's here in doha. thanks very much indeed for being with us. how does the taliban react to the kitchen? and these fit into several of the one is found in the property of the people of madison. they were pleased. so we just want and freezing up the entire history of the point is fund monk. dublin stan bank uses this called a stability of the idea that cat m. c and water implementation of the administrative policy. so it didn't sell for the plan. the son blanket is not for any kind of humanitarian assistant. i think $3000000000.00 of these dollars are going to be used for humanitarian assistance. and i've gone this time. but my understanding is it's the, the intention is to put it into a trust which is going to be controlled by an as yet i think unnamed 3rd party

would that at least in the 1st instance, there's something that the taliban government would be prepared to accept i'm sorry, we seem to have lost our line too. so here's where we will attempt to get him back if we can. but in the meantime, we're going to move on. mexico's president has promised there will be no impunity for any one who kills journalists. the body of the 5th mexican reported to be killed this year was found in the southern state of war kasha. victoria gave me reports these family and friends of murder, journalist, harbor lopez, a gathering for his wake. he was a manager of a news website in mexico, southern state of war haka and was shot dead on thursday. slow growing a little he settled this was a cruel leg. done without doubt of you, by unscrupulous people. i think our colleague didn't deserve that kind of warnings,

the asking if that's what they wished to convey by shooting him 5 times. prosecutors say 2 suspects were arrested as they tried to leave the murder scene. lopez had received threats before, but he'd not joined a government program that provides protection for around 500 journalists. his brother said trust in institutions is falling. and newton mother took with them a little bit lately. we've fallen victim to criminality, to abuse of power. situations that are beyond our control as a media worker, i'm very worried i trust in the authorities and asked them to do their job as they should. so lopez is the 5th journalist we murdered in mexico this year president andres manuel lopez. o brideau says those responsible will be brought to justice. by the time it may be that these regrettable crimes are committed, but there is no impunity, 0. impunity. it is not the same as before. in all cases reported without buddhist says, 90 percent of the murders of journalists go unpunished in mexico. many report is

a killed for working on stories about drug related violence or government corruption. may he got he, us yellow spices. mexico is one of the most dangerous countries for journalists. and we are seen like that by the rest of the world were seen as a country where the authorities are not able to contain these crimes and, and impunity. we've been asked time and again, what's happening in mexico, journalists across mexico know the dangers they face arising, and they're urging the government to do much more to protect them. victoria gate and be algae 0. ok, i want to take you back to that story. we're, we're doing just a moment ago about you as president joe biden, signing that executive order. a basically on freezing $7000000000.00, which were, are being held in afghan funds. we can speak again to sale shocking, the spokesman for the taliban here and or her. so thank you very much indeed feel, since we had a few technical problems, good to have you back. i was asking you just earlier, if the fact that $3000000000.00,

all of these funds are going to be put towards humanitarian causes in afghanistan, it's going to be managed by a 3rd party. but i believe it's going to be put into a trust fund. is not something that is acceptable, at least in the early stages to the taliban. no, it is not acceptable because this fund is this said is that it was part of the point is fund bank product. community of the cutting chaplain, cutting see. and if the property of the people above one is on one of those funds out of boise money deposited by the people up on a sunday in the account saying that the boss kept the abundance from bank. so these are many of the people and it doesn't afford it and is being kept up for by that point time bank. but it's implementation of money policy. if it was some mechanism was found to be able to get the funds directly to

the people whom as you say, whose bank accounts it had come from. would that be acceptable or is it necessary for the taliban to be in control of this money? we are not in control, we are not using that the that either we want to keep it there and we wanted the freezing of that he's or that is the that was the issue. but in that issue, this was approved in 12, and 3 thing on the inside of the bank. if the money is unfrozen, would it be acceptable to you as it indeed will be, at least in part, where is it acceptable to you that the money is, does not goal via the taliban control. and instead goes directly to the people of

afghanistan, who as you say, need it the most yes, we do not to use the money. we just want the best. this is not to be kept. reserved one is found bank. we read new or, or want to, to, to, to emperor with the many are to use it to any field or by the go to mentor, to be used to not want that re, won't died. but this, it has to be kept as in their book. one is from bank. does the taliban intend to make any representations to the us government to try to encourage them to release the the whole amount and change the emphasis of the whole amount? yes, a man and can they use this site and we are trying

that the instead of the sun bank. ok. yes. we are in contact with him and we are working on shaheen. thank you very much indeed for joining us on ologist. thank you. at ancient spanish village submerged under a reservoir for decades as resurfaced after years of drought. as when the consumer reports the eating ruins are drawing in tourists. an abandoned village reappears. it was submerged in 1992 when, as he vedo and spain not best and galicia region was flooded to create a reservoir. but a major drought has revealed the coast village beneath. it sent him into his denise tallahan oil feeling as the soldier, cuz i see the home of a family member, their own or of someone they know re emerge in younger people or those who are not . from here it trickles curiosity. they must, the ruins,
