heave, a russian missile landed in a children's playground. russia meanwhile, appears to be sending even more troops and hardware across the border into the country while insisting it's not targeting ukrainian cities. the jail ocean we're on the shores is directly during the night, the russian military use long range, high precision weapons. see an air launched cruise missiles to strike the targets among the ukrainian military infrastructure. i'd like to state once again. strikes are only aimed at ukrainian military targets. ah, for, that's not what the residents, a key of a seeing or hearing people continue to seek sanctuary under ground in basements, the metro anywhere away from the violence. according to western intelligence, the capitals not yet surrounded. those russian troops that have made it as far as

cave afford to be russian special forces and saboteurs. bellagio russian battle groups are getting closer and counting stiff, ukrainian resistance, as they approach elsewhere. the russians have made more decisive gaines. this is the city of melita paul in the country, south east, where the russian flag now flies over a local police station id. if you work. this video shop by russian state television shows russian tanks on the move in ukraine's east. this is europe's largest ground war since world war 2, lithium putin. and some of these troops believe histories on their side story, i guess we've been waiting since 2014. finally, i'll throw away this gun and will live peacefully amidst the fighting a light hearted exchange between the ukrainian driver and some stranded russian soldiers lost and out of fuel. menissi robera,

ukraine's one you guys have surrendered, says the driver. can i tell you back to russia? the truth is, the conflicts far from over ukrainian troops of the capital of fortifying the city . soon in hours or days, moscow will have to make a decision, sit outside the capital, an engineer some political arrangement with the ukrainian government, or bring in troops and heavy weaponry, and due to the even more destructive way, with the possibility of mass civilian casualties. oh, the kremlin has the capacity for both the balkan al jazeera and western nations and uniting to cripple roches economy and its ability to finance the war in ukraine set . and russian banks are to be bad from the international finance system. that means i'll be prevented from carrying out transactions. world wide targets include rashes, central bank, which holds reserves with $600000000000.00. we commit to ensuring that

a certain number of russian banks are removed from swift. this will ensure that these banks, disconnected from the international financial system and hom, the ability to operate globally swiftness, the world's dominant global enter bank payment system. cutting banks off will stop them from conducting most of their financial transactions worldwide. and effectively block russian exports and imports. petty calhane has this update from washington dating vladimir putin. president putin has believed that he is somewhat insulated from sanctions because he's built up this huge war chest. but what we've seen in the last week is the rubel versus the dollar is just app which plummeted. this couldn't really start to have an actual impact on a regular russian people. if all of a sudden you need way more ruble to buy

a loaf of bread that is going to create some political pressure. so he needs this money to be able to keep the ruble basically steady. so exactly how those sanctions play out. that could be a huge part. and we also see they're taking a different tact. they're trying to go after the people, or they say they're going to go after the people closest to put in the really, truly wealthy. there's a thing they've been able to use in the past to avoid sanction. is they call it the golden passport. basically, you pay a lot of money to a country and you get a passport. so you can't necessarily deal in business as a russian, but perhaps you can do it from this other country. so they're going to be trying to squeeze that circle of power around vladimir putin. i tried to cut off any way that they can evade the sanctions. william black is an economist and former federal prosecutor. he believes russia is ill prepared to cope with the sanctions. if you keep the sanctions on economically well within the next 2 to 3

years, they will have a very substantial bite. and by the way, the things that hooton's has been doing to supposedly prepare the russian economy ah, for being sanctioned crew are actually very harmful to the russian economy. and the russian economy is incredibly weak relative to its military power. so putin does have to worry considerably of that this becomes his afghanistan economically. and politically. putin has shown repeatedly that the ala carte sir useful in, in making him very wealthy, but that he can and will break them, have show trials, put them in prison, literally kill them in prison, and devastate them economically. so i think the united states has it wrong in believing that if it goes after the cronies,

it's going to make life difficult for putin more here. pain countries as sending weapons and fuel to help you kind defend itself. germany has pledged a 1000 to ante tank weapons and 500 surface to air missiles. the netherlands also promised to send missiles to ukrainian forces, and the u. s. has opted military assistance to ukraine. washington has authorized up to $350000000.00 in new spending to post the countries defenses. french president emanuel mccomb has condemned a plan change to bela russian law that would allow the russian nuclear weapons to be hosted on its territory. a referendum that's widely expected to pass is being held over the weekend. mccolan has asked bella worst president, alexander lucas shanker, to demand the withdrawal of russian troops from this soil and come to the aid of the ukrainian people. lucas shameka had allowed russian troops to enter ukraine from his country and more than

a 100000 ukrainians have been flaying to neighboring. poland was always expecting to help as many as 5000000 people in the weeks ahead. but crowns the checkpoints are so large, it could take days for people to be processed as same as robbing reports. beyond the reaches of the russian army, refugees from ukraine arrive in the safety of poland. forced to take only what is most important only what they can carry. here. friendly faces, open arms, and as much comfort as can be had sheltering in a train station. vladimir sherman ski was working in the netherlands when the war broke out. he's waiting for his 5 sons to arrive from across the border to take them to safety. he'll then return to ukraine where he says he will join his wife a soldier in the national army. ukrainians are prepared to die. he says before ever surrendering their country to russian president vladimir putin,

i can say when you bring him loose, when your grin and lose your rope, i skin bit makes one holland and only roper in my b. america too. so help us or or it can be the same way again. ukraine's decision to conscript men of fighting age into the armed forces has divided families. the women who have fled with their children. no, that long, good buys may turn out to be final farewells. but there is resilience here. my dad is always tried to have found fun. they can fun fun. and so it's everywhere. if they have a son, mamma, song dies to but alter, go love, feel some they feel that dangerous station, but we try to be strong or not so panic

for many of the displaced the semester. the train station will be the 1st time any of them have seen any sort of help in days, a hot meal, a place to rest, a ride to cities across europe, even people opening up their own homes to offer those displaced by the fighting in ukraine a place to stay. there has been an outpouring of support from volunteers who want to help any way they can. we met maria in tears as she searched for a mother with a newborn she had met earlier in the day. she came back to the train station with toys, but the mother and baby are gone. the oven. i gladly bump person to england and the u. s. and other countries just get thousands of planes to bomb him. that's all i want to say. there is solidarity with ukrainians and anger at russia as europe's latest refugees try to figure out what to do next. desperate produce from the people they left behind. those that made it out of ukraine have

a warning for the rest of the world. millions of lives are at stake. help stop russia while you still care. zane basra, the old 0 sham ashleigh eastern poland. still ahead on al jazeera will have more and how ukranian citizens taking matters into their own hands and to be transfer and the, primarily the war is now heating a giant of european football. awe . talk to al jazeera, we ask, do you believe that the threat of an invasion of ukraine is currently the biggest threat to international peace and security? we listen, we are focusing so much on the humanitarian crisis that we forget the long term development we meet with global news makings. i'm talk about the stories that matter on al jazeera, harmful pathogens are increasingly affecting our lives with terrible consequences.

a new documentary asks why that we've learned any lessons from the h. i. v. epidemic in the fight against coven 90. 0, how we ignored the global sub to put profits before people to walk coast time of pundents coming soon on all just my manager is my manager is my material. my job. my fans beauty's bronze. to that point. yeah, he doesn't. when you can use your just we just see glad i am that i only see my oh, you're good. my nigeria on al jazeera looking lease guides, di, disproportionate numbers on that everest, leaving behind widows who struggled to survive. what aisd meets the shipper women

just team we've heard that russia has stepped off in the military advance as its troops and to the northeastern city of huge military vehicles have been seen and train the cds, which is ukraine. second launches, question forces are also continuing their capital. keith, for full day. meanwhile, western nations the uniting to try and cripple rushes economy says and russian banks are to be bought from the international finance system. meaning they will be prevented from carrying out transactions well lives. and more than 100000 people have lima crossed from the crane into poland. also, it's expecting to help as many as 5000000 people in the weeks ahead. the crowds at checkpoints are so large, it could take people's days to be process. men aged 18 and between 18 and 60 rather have been conscripted to fight for the ukrainian army.

that means many families taking safety, forced to flee, leaving fathers and brothers behind china. how has more from car law car call forget order. crossing since thursday we're told 115000 people have crossed from ukraine into poland at one of 3 border crossing points. this one we're told is the easiest one to get across. the wait here is in the many, many hours. it's extremely cold. most of the hundreds and hundreds, thousands, perhaps of people. here are women and children. men, of course, ukrainian citizens between the age of 18 and 60 required to stay at home and fights . and given the evidence of resistance, but not many of them appear to be arguing with that cause we have from of course we are running from the silence and from the, from the danger. and we are scared. are we, we are alone with our daughter. we don't have any fender, so that's why we,

we are looking for some kind of for shelter and tower fancies from so boy has been fighting. there today has been on the years and to the, the, the, the city, the town of where the nearby, they leave me a buy. it was just destroy it completely. can you tell it? yeah. how it feels to be here. i took it. i keep just put it on. oh yeah. what are you hoping with now will every day that passes with every grim new development in this war, these numbers are only going to grow overwhelming. the border guards here on the ukrainian side and the polish side. the progress is achingly slow. they're only allowing groups of 50 people of the time through and say, well as little sticks being held above people's heads with little pieces of paper

on them. that mark a makes it a group of 50 people waiting an awful long way ahead of them to get through and behind the bus float off the bus float off the bus float after busload arriving over todd and ukraine. the mode remains to find several videos showing civilians making molotov cocktails have been circulating on line. it follows calls from ladies for people to take up arms against russian troops. have correspondence across the country bringing us the latest developments. one of our colleagues was briefly detained as he was reporting from easton, ukraine shall. stratford is now in met dana pro. he's his story. we returned from the city of czar parisha where the situation is becoming increasingly tense. a lot more military checkpoints, a lot more military hardware than, than we saw there yesterday. as an indication of how 10 cities we were preparing to

go live to do a live broadcast. we're out of nowhere, seemingly. a group of ukrainian soldiers and ukranian police peered with their guns, many of them pointing towards us firing in the air. they demanded that we get out of the vehicle. we threw ourselves to the ground camera man's telephone. busy was kicked out of his hand and 2 bullets fired from a kalashnikov into that telephone. now, it's important to recognize that these men were just doing their jobs. there are increasing phase amongst ukrainian military and security services about what they describe as cyber term was trying to get into cities and compromising military positions. but as i say, our cameras was still rolling when this incident happened. let's take a look. hi,

stop, stop, stop, stop, stop filming the new list. good. journalist jones was enough journalist the what about the was also reports from the port city of mary. awful witnesses telling us that what they described was being increasing numbers of paramilitaries on the streets, ukrainian power ministries, helping the ukraine and army trying to defend the city from what we understand is

a pushed by russian forces from the west. we know that the city is also suffered heavy shilling from the east. we also been speaking to people fleeing the area north of crimea, around the city of care of sown people telling us, or alleging that russian forces that have taken control of some of those towns are preventing ukrainian citizens from leaving them. the situation on the roads around in the pro very tense checkpoints a lot more strict one checkpoints, and we saw a russian helicopter fly low over the checkpoint, causing panic, causing people to, to scatter away even the security services that sir, that will manage that check boyd but there are increasing phase of the 10s, if not hundreds of thousands of civilians that are trying to put as much distance as they can between them and russian forces advancing on these ukrainian cities as

the, the front lines become increasingly blurred. now to 0 is ronnie andree is in south west russia where were also been deployed across the border. yes, admit and hit our alaska convoys of russian military gear continue to flood across the russian ukraine, border armor gear and vehicle mounted and filed. as you can see behind me, an armored vehicle carrying self propelled missiles is headed towards the borderline with ukraine. these batteries can far, 16 missiles within 20 seconds. the convoys will take part in the ongoing military operations, the fear system, which is currently raging on the dunbar front, where we are standing now is only a few kilometers from the border. and this scene is repeated elsewhere as other convoys are crossing the borderline into ukraine. on other roads which had weighed caesar, security and military analyst at which you stretch you off as an insight into

rushes, military tactics looks like is the russians are engaged in a 3 prong movement. there are advancing from the nor from bella ruth and trying to enter to reach the northern part of kias that way. there are also her sheen from the east and but they're most successful drive is been from the south. so i think that the northern forces and the, the eastern groups well to concent serat tryon surround and then use art hillary backed by tanks and infantry with air support to take the city sector by sector. meanwhile, the group, it's coming in from the south. i looks like with all trying to do yeah. and the main ukrainian units that are now fighting in the don bath and car car and try and surround them. and that would give them the kind of scenario we

thought often in this area during world war 2. and when the germans or the soviets would sweep around a major force. and as we saw stalingrad eventually forced to surrender me. my police have launched a crack down to deal with the growing and he was sentiment across russia. close to 2000 people. angry on the war and ukraine has been arrested since the event is again, an online petition to stop the attack as close to a 1000000 signatures. russian internet users reported problems using facebook and twitter, which the government accuses of amplifying dissenting views. and he will protest, anxious, taking place in russia, people around the world have been expressing their outrage at the invasion. nadine baba reports from london on the demonstrations across europe in the

heart of london, demanding movie done for ukraine. many of these protest is all ukrainian with family and friends back home that they're desperately worried about. people like elementary deva who came to britain more than 20 years ago. i still remember 32 and then then mother and father about the 2nd world war and how big she came. and it's just been me, you know, just the new to be open. you seem to set to they killing people. there was similar solidarity protest across europe. this was munich in the south of germany itself. no stranger to upheaval and dark episodes in history. them answer once the widow, when we're worried about our brothers sisters, our relatives. you look at the people gathered here, and everybody is scared. the war will break out in europe. in the italian capital, a large crowd called for more pressure on russia. and in paris,

they gathered in the plaster la bleak calling on nato to protect ukraine's air space. that was a key demand in london to i think we should be supporting militarily ukraine as best as possible, as madman at the moment in, in the kremlin ands. i mean, we have to press it to where we can, the crowd has been shown to glory, to ukraine and denouncing the russian president. but they've also been calling for specific measures. they will, britain to take right now, including greater financial sanctions and more military held for ukraine's armed forces. and while the ukrainian flag now flies from government buildings, many are angry. there is no legal route for most ukrainians to seek asylum in britain. we need to be letting refugees command. i'm anti spat visas for them all to get here. and then once the head there with it were ever afterwards for now all ukrainians outside the country can do is hope the fighting and soon and urge the world to do more to make that happen. nadine baba al jazeera london chelsea

football clubs ration i know roman abramoff inch has hand control at the club to its charitable foundation. a billionaire is owned the european champions and 20 ways made the decision after you came parliamentary debate this week on sanctions against vladimir perkins. government $1.00 and pay code on the british government to seize it from of which is assets including chelsea associated presses, sport correspondent, rob harris. explain what the move means in a practical sense. symbolically, it's hugely significant in the fact that a problem of it is signaling he stepping aside. but once he sort of del, further into the statement and based on my own conversations, he will be still winning. chelsea, he has no plans to sell, i'm told. but this is clearly a reaction to the growing pressure being felt by the british government targeting russians in the wake of the russian invasion of ukraine. now there's been nothing

stated that around which would face sanctions at this point, but they sees him stepping away. it's trying to sort of create a distance between himself and the club, insert the decision making, at least ah, hello, what's out there? these are the stories we're following. the sound, what we've just heard, the russia has stepped up, its military advance as its troops into the north eastern city of khaki. military vehicles have been seen entering the city, which is crimes and 2nd largest russian forces are also continuing their assaults on the cranial capital. keep for a full stay. western nations meanwhile, are uniting to cripple rushes economy. certain russian banks are to be bought from the international finance system. russia's central bank, which holds reserves, worth $600000000000.00, is being targeted. we commit to ensuring that

a certain number of russian banks are removed from swift. this will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and hom, their ability to operate globally swiftness, the world's dominant global enter bank payment system. cutting banks off will stop them from conducting most of their financial transactions worldwide and effectively block russian exports and imports. french president emanuel mccomb has condemned plan change to bel russian law that would allow russian nuclear weapons to be hosted on its territory a referendum. that's why they expected to pass is being held over the weekend of crone has asked valerie president, alexander lucas shanker, to demand the withdrawal of russian troops from their sewell, more european countries ascending weapons and fuel to help you crane defend itself

ah, we cover all sides. no matter where it takes us a year ago. and power, and passion. we tell your stories. we are your voice, your news, your net al jazeera ah, a month when i was working in oxford, which by the terms of my career were really a pinnacle moment. my mother was very proud, but i should like. but you know. but what do you think?

you can do in 10. 20 is how is it going to hell, anybody to improve the lives of the people that live in philly. my mom. it's a wonderful time for me because i have seen the other side of what i can't even imagine in the for a tree. and what is even more exciting is that i'm seeing it applied. i'm research in africa, just something i couldn't imagine when i was trying somebody really with my name is sheila katara, virginia. i was born in nigeria. i studied medical by chemistry and then went on to do a ph. d. and plant by chemistry. i did some past doctoral work in oxford at the institute

of viral a g, an environmental microbiology life specialized on a system called the bachelor virus expression system, which is a methodology that you use to genetically modified virus. a. by time i went to university, i felt really prepared for the well. and then i realized that i wasn't quite as with gender dynamics. i didn't understand it. i'm 18 years old. i mean, the university, the idea head that people had that women couldn't do things was a shown to me because i've never actually been in an environment where people to, for women, you're less than, i mean, just didn't make any sense to me. ah, ah,

i married, i'm had children. i really was interested in going back to science because it was just too difficult. i was fortunate that my ex husband actually had studied women in development. and he said, you know, the statistics number one of women who go to the ph. d like any women in the u. k is like her for all at that time. in fact it's 6 percent. the do ph, d male or female of the population. i'm over at how many of them a women, it's less than half. it's probably like 10 percent of that. how many of them are african you'd actually have to go back i realized that i wanted to do more in community work. so right now i'm working a lot well with you and environment and on environmental work with different agencies. the big scientific topic of our

e rover time is climate change. climate change in higher to fix us in so many ways . mm hm. in africa, the discourse of the conversation is around adapting to climate change. african countries and developing countries, basically not the course of climate change per se. but they're the ones suffering the most from the impact. so how the conversation in climate changes is developed, countries must mitigate, reduce their missions and african countries must adapt. mm . so within climate change and number of scientific lines of inquiry, but i would say in terms of what we are interested in,

in some of that reaches that we've worked with. it's to do with climate change at health. climate change is cause of malaria epidemics, to be more prevalent, malaria, cholera, all of these things that have to do with the ecosystem changing. so now you're looking at how climate change is affecting the disease disease outbreaks and how now the system can adapt better is to restrict digital important the western region of kenya because it borders lake victoria and the lake is very important because it borders gander, tanzania, kenya, and all of those communities living around, they are living off the resources of the lake and the lake is being rapidly degraded. so getting communities to understand how they're all impacting each other

is an important part of the work we're doing in getting people to understand what ecosystems are and also what they can do to restore those this is a smaller now perch at that. the other one is bigger company and then people use like they just fry how much they we particularly decided to work with women because we understand how women very quickly see the big picture of their well and their position in community. but in the big frame, how do we get women who are farming and different parts of the lake to understand how pesticides can run off into the lake and affect the livelihoods of women? on the other side were fishing. how do we connect these groups to begin to understand the impact and how do we then connect the factories that are polluting

the lake to understand what a devastating impact it is to the community that they are living in. so everybody that's working around that has an impact and has a responsibility. ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, i salute is a county that adopted me when i came back to kenya in 20142015. so it's

a county that i feel very close. john, very personally invested in the future if you soon so one of the projects that were involved in working on against increasingly put our resources in energy is the war to hyacinth project in q soon. how many for, for, for it's important that communities understand the science that affects them. and so when we look at communities like q soon, which is very much impacted by a pest on the lake. when communities, i'm not empowered to help to understand that system. they can't make decisions. i said, when you come on, are you looking at friday? yeah, god want the and you do a book, what did you mer to me? i guess i read what dirty like you did, give me a wilma, it'll come on. no, no you do, and we're going to be the one that on my wall that are writing

a sigh. you will, you can use all of your, you'll be the liberal naggie you doing. i one and one wasn't milligram on a man. i was born in a place like this in nigeria. ah, i study science because when i was growing up as a child, i was very interested in, in sex. i would play by the river. i was curious about the natural world. so i ended up studying science and i became a scientist there one day i came back to my mother and i say to her, oh look, i'm in a magazine, see me. ah, this is my work. they're talking about the work the time doing. and she said, it is good, my daughter is good. but how is this work that you are doing here? going to relate to the people back home. so i, she asked me that question. i didn't have an answer. what is it that we can do to

transform the lives of women and we were looking at everything. the city, health, agriculture, all the different sectors. what kind of science can we bring to make a difference to the lives of everyone in keys sooner? we have to bring anything we have learned from any way and planted where we can have the faith and with people that we love. so as we move, we must all move to get into a better future because that is what you want for ourselves and our children. and by god's grace, by the time we reach 2030, they will see a different key. similarly this kenya, that is our press. i this really touches my heart, working with women across the lake, who harvest the water high since because the work that i was doing from ph d on was looking at the past. we are looking at how to help people manage

pests better, so that they can enhance their livelihood. there was a lot of what us in here, but because it has have a circle, the moment you start seeing long grass, i am coming out of it that you know, it's the life cycle coming to. and so that is the time it disappears. it sinks to the bottom of the, of the water. i'd with no time again it's, it has covered the water body in what the women were able to do is to understand that although it's a past they can harvested in the same way as they harvest some of the pirates and all the other resources there. and that they can use it to make products. and over time, they've begun to make more more sophisticated products and they've begun to open up the market for high end with

. i can see this growing as the machinery to mo, big a products come. but it starts with the women going out on to the late getting the water high think leaving it in to thread and very manually developing the road bend gets made into the product. wow, i need to when i have got involved with the water high since project and began to see what they were doing, the you know, the work that came to me was like, wow, just moving from pest to profit. really it's, it's just a very simple trajectory. when we went into the community, talk to the women, they had formed into a collective which had a name in lieu o, which was we're fighting away poverty. that was the name of the group. and now this

time when we went in, ask them the name of the group. they said no, and now the women who live under the shade. and honestly, i nearly cried because that really shows the transformation of our committee. they may named themselves, though alike in a longer chasing poverty. we have a livelihood when living under the shade when a longer suffering from the harshness, why environment? we figured out how to make this. and this is who we now are. and that was the most michelman ah so on the 8th of march international women's day, we formerly launched now the network of african women environmentalists to show case african women environmentalist at all different levels and how they can be

brought to help the ecosystems restoration agenda. linda, i know . yeah. in fact the other ladies are waiting. all right, there we go and meet them. yes, let me just put this here and then we'll get brilliant school really and let's, let's just grab that right. and then let's go all the bid, madam, for she know welcome. thank you. thank. yes, this is exciting. i need to introduce you saw this is shirley at who's the head of our africa office here at u. an environment. and this is a mess, right? who's leading our energy work on the african continent and janet, who's the head of our agenda program here in a launch? yes, yes, she was a launch of now a deed, it just happened that on the 1st of march, the united nations,

the through the government will salvador put together a resolution which was passed on the 1st of march for the you when decade on ecosystem restoration. yeah, and we know how much land on this continent is degraded, you know, how many women are suffering so this decade is now 2021 through 2030, the last 10 years of the sustainable development goals. one of the things we found in environmental governance is that women are not at the decision making table. we might see that women are the ones who are in touch with their environment because of the work they do it on a daily basis. but in terms of decision making, the look there, i mean it's important because they feel the brunt of the decision by then it's just going down a path. yeah. for granting one of the areas of focusing on was an energy waste at climate change. i've been the same story everywhere. i think a interface between only see and science is fundamental. what i says, and this is precisely what some didn't always. yeah. exactly, and,

and i think for us, part of our thinking around the network when african women environments. and this was what we've just discussed, looking at the political element, which i think will so important. and also looking at the realities. what is the reality in women line? it's going to take off doing more and it has to reach the connection has to go all the way to the ground. we have to see the impact. and so, but she has been able to mediate the steps of bringing you wonderful ladies on board because she has been a champion for it and to get women that are truly committed to it because it's different for having women that just have position. but women that have hot in it, and i have good news for now in eunice call, told me that they have the money for we are to promote women scientists, a program. so i think this will not our last meeting. this is just, this is,

i mean so much a society comes together in the governance system and then the science is one aspect of it. you see it beautifully in climate change because you look at the climate change agreements or not and how countries agree to reduce emissions. hopefully the science tells you that this is impacting our environment and negative ways and is causing a vast debate in climate change. hopefully, that makes the political decision maker sake. therefore, we will close this factories. therefore, we will do this differently. but the trigger, the initiated the propeller is the political will at the top. so the best science in the world miss thought it a lot of it is left on the shelf because it's not the political will. and even in

something like climate change, as we have seen, the loss of political will could mean we lose this battle. ah, i want to become a transformative scientist so that every thing that i apply myself to brings about a transformation, an impact that is visible. and in my lifetime, by bringing women around particular landscapes and ecosystems together. how do we then improve that landscape and restore it a lot of um, farms and lands in rural africa, i left because young people, they want to buy the life. they don't wanna farm they. it's no longer cool. the profits alone, they want to go to the city and live better lives. so you're finding a lot of a degraded land because nobody is tending to it. we are looking at what kinds of

farming opportunities are they for young people that are attractive that ah, the profit margins are high. that can be done somewhat remotely in that you know, just, it's not high intensive farming doesn't need machinery and is organics. so one of the crops that is doing very well is chia, wow, this is incredible. yeah, this is, this is the way it happens. the magic happens, it's, you know what i think it is festival. what i'm really excited about is that you have restored this landscape. that was just going to see and that if not and leave you restored the landscape, that it is productive for that you're not watching the soil and starting a whole new incredible. i century business. yeah, it's amazing. so you just pull the whole thing and then you,

i don't know what is it the young people who left went to the city. i'm struggling because they not as many opportunities as they imagine. and now remembering that they fathers and their mothers have lines are not far away in the rural areas. so number of them makes increasingly, women are beginning to hire local farmers to plant g, a seat at the bottom. she aries looming all over the world. and interestingly enough, in kenya, the profit margins are really high. so just cut it and yeah, that's it. and we have, we're having fun. yeah, actually i really good did come every time i think we need to bring a group of women to harvest and make something of it. so perhaps like a demonstration fall. yeah, bring them, they harvest, we sit, we talk about what we can do, restoring landscape, and this is how now we can begin to grow. we yeah. now we start talking about

a ah, we are in the 1st generation that, ah, children have west opportunities with and now even with climate change, they say you came here. you enjoyed yourself. you ruined the planet you left off. nothing. each generation is brooklyn visa gift and we have this generation. i'm passionate about the environment. so that's i'm thing we, i went to have like a point garden around where you had to please. okay. so you follow me and then you

click the dead sea bass in the home i can pull, blunting up. what does it take to make a transformation? we can now measure it. if we could work hard to make sure many of those goals that empower women, empower children, come to be the picture that people have in the heads of africa will transform it. it's, it's an easy thing. it catch other countries have done it. okay. ah, oh, within a generation you can transform outcomes to take certain things. and i prayed that i will be part of that and that my children who were born in the u. k. and come back will be able to say, wow, you know, i might just move trafficking because it's really great, you know, has many opportunities in scott, greg wherever great people, great opportunities, i can build a life. ah,

given us my nasal and i went to london and i went to the primary school. i remember i was playing in the playground. i was being bullied because i look so different and they would laugh at me and they'll be like a from africa. you live on trees, and i remember how shocked i was that they would they would speak about the place that i loved. and that i missed so much that gave me all of my identity in such derogatory terms that they could not understand. the beauty, the power, the opportunities that i got from those 9 years. and that moment i said to myself, in my head, when will be the day that i will have to make so many explanations?

because it will be obvious how rich, how beautiful, how glorious, ah, all of us on this planet, not just africa. with . we are just once fishes on this planet, just one. we happened to be the most destruct holger species. let's be clear, this planet with the why wiggle without us. we can destroy ourselves and have an inter, shall the many planets out there that are uninhabited of the way with . so that's a little humanity. as to our significance,

we have become extraordinarily arrogant in thinking that we matter which is one species. in fact, the insects us will be here when it's all going with the humble and let's begin to be better stewards or gifts that we've been given. i the who's and away we go with your weather report for the middle east and africa. hello everyone. nice to see you. it's a fairly settled picture here, but we've got that return of the ship all wind. so that's a wind out of the north northwest. we go in for a closer look around the gulf states because i do think this is going to spin around some the sand and does for the eastern side of the audi rate into southern areas is wall. and for example, in doha, we can expect wind gusts here on sunday of about 45 kilometers per hour. we did see

some fairly intense storms in punjab, a province in pakistan, that energy is move further toward the east. it's settled in the south, correct? she's got a high 33 degrees and the disturbance that formed in the area to see has moved further toward the east. so this becomes a story for western areas of turkey, some soaking rains here, i think less. so for example, the area of concern will be, is mere, talking about that heat for central areas of africa. we put the colors on dark, the red, the higher the temperature, very likely new record. this needs to be verified in a bu, just 39.4 and your forecast on sunday. we've nudged your temperature down a bit to $38.00 degrees and for southern areas are seasonal rains continue to ring out there, voiced or over flood stricken areas of madagascar. and now you're in the no c as in ah, we don't simply focus on the politics of the conflict. if the human suffering that

we report, we brave bullets and bomb and we always include the views from all sites. ah ah, signings and distant gunfire ahead and the ukranian capital kia was russia continues its invasion. ah, again on peach adobe. you're watching out his ear alive from dough. how old.
