thanks for your weekly take on us politics and society. that's the bottom line. a diverse range of stories from across the globe, from the perspective of on networks journalists on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera. ah. you're watching the news, our live from a headquarters in del heim, daddy and abigail coming up in the next 60 minutes and evacuation from the besieged, ukrainian city of mary paul was put on hold after reports of shelling along that corridor. however, ukrainians begin leaving the city of sunni after an agreement is made with russia to open a humanitarian corridor juice. it should be looked at newton's or

in ukraine, 2nd largest city, where people say they have know where to go. after rushes bonding campaign reduce their homes to rubble ready for combat, we meet the volunteers signing up to be foreign fighters in ukraine. it's more that i'm looking for to give the people that i hope that they see that not alone in this fight. and in sports, men's olympic tennis champion, alexander baron, has received an 8 week suspended ban for his violent outburst. that a tournament and mexico last month. welcome to the news. our ukraine is attempting to evacuate. people from besieged areas that i felt the force of russian bombardment, but russian forces are, again being accused of violating the ceasefire. so a convoy of busses on humanitarian aid vehicles destined for mario pole has stopped not of reports of russian shelling. they're trying to evacuate civilians who have

been trapped without food, water, and electricity, while subject to constant bombardment. but in the northeastern city of sumi fighting as mostly stop their buses are leaving after an overnight air strike killed at least 20 people including 2 children, dormer veto diesel. they are consciously blocking food supplies and water, and switching off electricity in mary apple for the 1st time in dozens of years. for the 1st time, probably since the nazi invasion, a child has died from dehydration. listen here, media partners. a child has died in 2022 of dehydration, but we have seen a lot of promises and agreements, namely about the creation of humanitarian corridors. but they haven't worked so far and i have no more time to wait in mary. awful. people have no time to wait at the occupying forces, want our people to die. we have our correspondence standing by for us during the

hall, as in the viva will be speaking to him in just a moment. the 1st will bring and charles stratford whose joining us from as upper richer, which is part of that humanitarian court or charles. and we see the buses behind you that are stopped to stop just update us on the situation there. that's right, we're actually in that very sure these are parisha region, but we're actually around 60 kilometers south of zap parisha city. and as you can see, the boss is behind me are stationary. they have been stationary now for around 2 hours. this is basically the last place where the rod at the ukrainian military are in full control. we are em, farther south from here. oh, sorry we have to turns down. sure, sure. retina, your coupon. sure, sure. with me. yes. yes. charles will let you get to

safety. charles stratford is reporting from a 0 pizza. as you can see, he was just stops. we will get more clarity on what's happening and i will try and cross back to him a little later. in the meantime, charles stratford wasn't cartesian just about 24 hours ago and he sent us this reports. a man walks carefully down the street totally destroyed. russian bombs have ripped through these buildings in central park. give. the area is silent and brutally scarred. shrapnel has ripped through cars, masonry, thrown in, the blasts has crushed others when flames still rise from buildings nearby on craters and twisted steel. this st in central car cave shows you just how devastating the effect of russian bombing of

the city has been. and it's higher, st totally destroyed. where do these buildings have people's homes in the private residences, flats, some of them still smoking. one of the main things that many people here tell you is that they can in no way understand how the leader of a country like russia could do something like this to a city like called kiff. teresa is in short, she walks around in a days looking at the destroyed businesses and homes. oh, you can usually push it up here. no, i cannot think straight. i can't find the words. sprague, you to hold. it's barbaric, terrible. the world is shaking the can you hear me?

i just don't understand. shrapnel has ripped through the golden spires of an orthodox church. every windows smashed wonder ground metro stations is where many people hide. young and old stand patiently in line for food served by volunteers. bowl soup, solid bread elona and her 12 year old daughter. nastier show us the train carriage where they've sheltered since their home was destroyed to assisted me. not to name unless it darted 12 days ago. a house was destroyed and which

is my good. we don't know where to live anymore. i don't know where to go with my child. honestly help us. it is no. there are many here like us who have lost everything. them should have their belongings and neatly arranged where they sleep. there are family pets here to yoshi door, susan is is full and i thought we would live peacefully and happiness united but i was wrong. so go closer in all the carriage. we find 19 year old violetta and her baby son booked on. he was born in hospital 2 days after the russian army invaded tissue. it almost had so difficult every day we washed him upstairs on the i'm so worried about him getting cold. vladimir putin told the world repeatedly,

russia would never invade ukraine. kirk give is a terrified testimony to his lie. and while i bring in charles once again, he's joining us from upper reach a region that's part of that humanitarian corridor. and i just a few moments ago you had to stop your reporting. charles, just tell us what was going on. well, they will ukrainian soldiers, very nervous about journalists being in this area and giving away potentially ukrainian military positions. i can tell you that this village is basically the last village under full ukrainian control. that's what the military has been saying in that direction towards marriott, both things get a lot more fluid. we know that a village to the left here is around 10 kilometers away, is under full russian military control. we've heard a lot of shelling this morning and as you can see, this convoy behind me is going nowhere for the time being. the drivers are saying that so the military, i've told them that russian,

the russian army is shelling further down the road. now as i say, we have heard a lot of sharing, but we cannot confirm whether in fact it is along this convoy route. but of course, sir, you know, this is not the 1st time this effort a trying to get a humanitarian cordele to what's understood to be at least 200000 people trapped in mary awful. it's not the 1st time it is seemingly failing, both sides accusing each other of breaking cease fires. but we do know that the situation in merrill is in creasing li worrying. no electricity, no water reports at that civilians on the streets. and it's going to be again very interesting to see how to day progresses. and, but there are literally dozens and dozens of buses here that are not moving for the time being. hasn't been in a shilling for the last few minutes, but as indicated by what happened to us. yes. 5 minutes or so. again,

the military here, very nervous indeed about any potential escalation or indeed their positions being given away. okay, charles, i will let you go for now. thank you so much for that recording. so as you've been hearing from charles, while resident in mario pole are waiting to get out an agreement between russia and ukraine, has helped people leave the city of sunni. well, how much i'm doing reports in the light of day, the scale of the devastation becomes clearer. this is the ukrainian city of sumi, in the aftermath of an overnight russian air strike. for people here, fear has been ever present. they now potentially have some hope. a temporary cease fire between moscow and key if that's lead to the creation of this humanitarian corridor. for his part,

ukrainian president vladimir zelinski condemned the repeated violation of ceasefire deals with russia. while adding civilians urgently need to be evacuated from the siege. cities might oberlin him, i will let you ask your prince, want our people to die. we have sent columns of caravans and humanity. hearing aid me to mary, i'll pull their brave people and they understand that the russian military can destroy this convoy on its way to day. the number of people fleeing rushes advance has now reached 2000000. that's according to the you in refugee agency. as the humanitarian impact of the war, worse than the un, high commissioner for human rights says everyone escaping violence should be allowed safe passage and deeply concerned about saving their strapped, inactive hostility in numerous areas. and i urge all parties to take effect to action to enable all civilians including those situation vulnerability to safely

leave areas effective by conflict with the questions. now, how long will the fighting stopped and how many people will be able to get to safety. huh jim, jim 0. so while these people wait to get to safety, let's bring in joe holland is joining us from the v for an update on the situation on the ground in terms of fighting, jonah, and, and reports of russian advances. one of the last hour or 2, we've heard from the ukranian side, from a ukranian presidential adviser, who has said that in their view, the russian advance has been substantially slowed down and in some places a stoled altogether. and that's the result, of course, of stiff ukrainian resistance. they talk about 12000 russian soldiers having been killed that number probably on the well high side as far as the painting numbers are concerned. but it is clear that the russians have suffered attrition losses and multiple defeats along the way more probably than they would have expected. i think

there are multiple perspectives though to consider here on the one hand, yes, large scale ground advances have been stalled. that enormous convoy outside, key of now about 30 kilometers away to the west hasn't moved in 6 days. that is the result of logistical problems, support problems, mechanical problems, morale problems, all sorts of things. but it's easy to allow these to obscure the wide picture. it doesn't mean for a moment that there aren't an enormous number of russian troops and a lot of very heavy artillery all the hardware right at the gates of the capital. and we've seen in recent days, a tax going on and still on tuesday in that sort of corridor of suburban sense is just the west of ki, if in the last 24 hours 13 people were killed in a bicycle. my car is when a shell fell on a bread factory, they were queuing to buy bread there and in recent days, in repeating where we've seen a lot of people evacuating today. 81012 by some conser. billions,

have been killed in the past 2 days by shelling as they've tried to flee. the russian tactics have changed. of course, in recent days, they've moved on from those large scale ground advances to use much more heavy artillery cruise missile strikes. rocket strikes and air strikes on big populated up incentives which we continue to see in chinese, in the north kiva. as we've been hearing about, and of course mario paul, that town in the south besieged as it has been for days. but there are other small movements on the ground going on where russian supply lines are still intact, where russian supply lines come at them from ground that they control across the board directly from russia or from the eastern breakaway regions. and so we see efforts between hockey and the russian border to take a town called is ume, apparently surrounded, apparently under heavy bombardment, said to be close to potentially falling to the russians. that would open a corridor direct from the border all the way to hockey. and in the south as well, movement towards a town called mc alive, just to the west of crimea,

a constant russian attempt over the last 2 or 3 days to encircle and take nikolai, if they've been repelled up to now. but if they are able to overcome nikolai as well, that opens the root directly to potentially the next big target, the port city of odessa. thank you so much, donna hall reporting from the even western ukraine. now foreign fighter is, are headed to the battle ground in ukraine after the government to slide list and international legion for those coming from abroad. they miss robbie has spoken to some of them and hear reports from your friends border with poland as the number of people fleeing the war and ukraine approaches 2000000, some rush to get to its front lines. the job related bravery or bravado mormon, like this one, are coming to ukraine's aid every day. inspired perhaps by

a social media campaign. i'm in college right now, or a call to arms for volunteers by ukrainian leaders under siege in their own capital . from her home near keith leslie vaseline co says, there is something to do for everyone coming to ukraine's defense. you are fighting the 2nd biggest on the and the world and the nuclear power. that of course, our military resources are not enough. so we need more people here on the ground. we need more weapons here on the ground. we need more sophisticated weapons here on the ground to be able to span. i'm keep standing as an independent free country. this is the struggle and the wide that we invite the, the worlds to join volunteers who contact ukrainian embassies are directed to the website for the international legion of the defense of ukraine. this is one of the locations recruits can find themselves signing up and boarding buses to cross the border. we met

a ukrainian coordinator who declined to speak on camera or give his full name or even his rank. but he said he was there to help volunteers find their way to the fight. this roadside motel near the border has become a kind of unofficial recruitment point for volunteers wanting to fight in ukraine. we've been here a few hours and we've met people from europe. the united states, great britain, many more have already crossed over many more are expected to. julian is $22.00 and says he served in the dutch military and was deployed to have got to start. well, i'm not looking for violence per se. it's more that i'm looking for to give the people that hope that they see, they're not alone in this fight. he still undecided unwilling to sign a contract to serve until the end of the war. whenever that might be. the open ended contract has also put our volunteers at the medical border crossing. if they say all you, you can stay in 5 by a 3 months. you can go home to see your families and come back if you want or even

one year. but we know in one year we going, we got home, but, and its going truck does no data does know when we could go home, you know, so yeah, that was the point for me to change mind. others remain undeterred. jay is from portugal lives in london and says his motivation comes from his young daughters that he is fighting to defend their future, their freedoms, the lack of action by the west. so i just personally, don't think sanctions are enough and i understand the fear of world war 3. but as you can see, this is the beginning of world war 3. personally, i don't think i'm being brave. i'm just doing what i'd like people to do. if the u . k was under attack and far as johnson was begging for help, highly experience soldiers are sent to the front line. less experienced recruits are kept back to help territory defense units and treat the wounded. j says he trusts ukraine will let him go home to see his family and is unafraid. as he

commits himself to a war that could go on for years. in basra of the old jazeera, at the ukraine border in eastern poland. let's speak to olga to aria to the non resident fellow at the center for european policy analysis. she's joining us from western ukraine. thanks for joining us on al jazeera before we get to what you're seeing, where you are, let me ask you about this international legion that's been established by the government and, and ukraine. i mean, how significant does it while, according to the information from your premium government, more than 20000 people have already joined the region. and some of them are already in ukraine. we've seen yesterday. images for the 1st soldiers already in the trenches, soldiers probably okay from india, from lexical, from the us, from other country. so not just the western countries, but also countries in the other. and in different parts of the lo well are you know,

what is happening now in your brain is not just your brain business. this war is not just as bright to your brain. right, right. and in european global security. so it's not surprising that a lot of people from all over the world, one to help you frame to send off the that's the thing. i mean we, we also have seen more support in terms of military assistance. for example, berlin has announced that it's supplying anti tank weapons the netherlands as well as some other countries. i mean, let me play devil's advocate for a moment. is there a risk here that moscow will see this as a dangerous intervention? well, you know, moscow is talking a lot and trying to intimidate, actually the world in western countries from stepping up support to your brain and that, and they actually didn't. how you brain much with military systems before the invasion, because that was something that could provoke russia, but it didn't have, you know, russia invaded anyway, russia launched their full game base of your brain bonding. civilian targets,

killing children, kill in women, killing innocent people all over the country. so i don't think that could be an escalation because, you know, the situation is all, it has already escalated and that's only the responsibility for that. like russia, on what you tell us. what, what you've been seeing where you are. yeah, i just want to finish that. you. brent is not getting enough assistance that it needs because the more pressing needs are, may sell defense defense because ukraine doesn't have that. and it's helpless in front brushing the pals and bonds falling from disliking and just doing the western ukraine. the situation is relatively calm. this area has not been affected by the fighting them more press and challenge here is that big flaw internally? display people. almost every family here is offering child to the family to the people. a lot of volunteers are mobilized into why them or, and they're also alerts and or sirens going on every day. basically,

also have to hide in the bomb shelters and then add to the tensions because russia has been bumping airports all over the country so they might be targets in the objects in the parts of the country as well. obviously, i mean there are lots of competing narratives that are coming out and we will work with our teams on the ground to verify some of those claims and the information. but if you look at the sort of bigger picture now and how do you see an end to this? because so far we've already had 3 rounds of talks. and by the rule, as you know, between the russians and the ukrainians, are you hopeful? but the beast talks will yield to any fruition? well, everyone are, you know, eventually and with some kind of the deal and do so. so of course they stop should go ahead, they are very welcome and the reaction to seeing that russia is sizing down the mom with every round of socks we seeing that it was, it was one with a long. i mean,

some of the things that the russian russians or the landing is they want the recognition of crimea, of course, as part of russia and of the sovereignty of the sufferers, the territories and eastern ukraine. what is ukraine willing to, to concede, if anything? well, your grain, you bring in presence of that, your grand, he's not going to could be to leg will ready for talk. but we are not ready to look to lation. and actually brain army has been showing you know, incredible resilience and also some successes on the ground rushing creek didn't happen. russia didn't manage to occupy any major seated team. harkey, they are gotten to the air. is that because they're wrong, forces are not successful. and often do the rush losses are quite big. so the time is now when you bring side and reinforces your friends negotiating position. thank you so much for speaking to us from western ukraine. you can now the ukranian president, while others lensky is to address british and peas in the coming hours. and this

comes as the prime minister for his johnson continued his diplomatic effort to encourage western leaders to punish russia for the invasion. he's host the leader of the czech republic, hungary, poland, and so i can to discuss the conflict for more on what they are discussing. let's bring any barker. he's joining us from london needs. yeah. well, as you mentioned, there's a crisis deepens in ukraine. all the more reason to reaffirm and deepen ties between western alliance countries, which is why there is a grad for the v full, poland, hungary, slovakia, and the czech republic a here in london to meet for talks with the british government, the u. k. of course, no longer a member of the european union, but playing a vital role in ramping up diplomatic and political pressure on a vladimir putin. i'm all of these countries also have a role to play in the security of ukraine as well, potentially as staging,

post forgetting, ah, missouri and other supplies into ukraine. all of them also have taken in vast numbers of refugees, but there is deep concerned from some of these countries about the implications of helping out in this way. losey form victor will ban who's been quite vocal about the prime minister of hungry, of course, as cozy up to vladimir putin in a recent years. but now has come out fully condemning the invasion of ukraine. he has said that he does not want his country to be used as a staging post for sending arms directly to ukraine, but will allow nato countries to shift weapons across his territory between nato countries going forward. that this meeting is highly important in terms of reaffirming bonds and ties that go way beyond this recent conflict and making sure that all is done to bring vladimir putin into the kremlin, into line. and just a couple of hours time move lou, ukrainian, our president is going to be addressing our members of parliament in the u. k. what

do we expect him to say? yeah, that's what it's time for. 1700 g m t is being described by lindsey hoyle. the speaker of the house of commons is a, a highly historic important event. this follows a zalinski address to the european parliament at all say to the u. s. senate, he's likely to echo some of the things that he said they're calling for solidarity from western powers urging western house to do as much as they possibly can. to put the political and economic and military pressure on russia, as they say, invasion continues at the same time. this is important for british lawmakers as representatives of the british people to hear from the horses mouth. wat says the lensky has to say about the ongoing crisis in the country, we believe a large screen will be set up in the, in the house of commons. it's never with this never happened before. and so i won't

offer veins and ready sets the tone of how seriously this is being taken in the u. k. it's just by wandering around central london. it's incredible to see the large number of ukrainian flags that are flying proudly over british government offices. we're talking about the cabinet office over at mostly are just at the end of the mall here. another prominent landmarks in the british capital, there is no, no denying the level of support, politically that's being given by the british government. but i think zelinski will most certainly awesome more practical help as well in his hour of need. thank you so much mark for reporting from london, stella had only also 0 news. our rates tortured and abandoned. we speak to the iraq pay women victimized by iso. what they're doing now to rebuild their lives. coming up in sport fifa approved ukraine's request to postpone their world cup, lay off with scotland.

ah, a story of long deception life and death and israeli spy, operating on the deep cover in syria. knowing that discovery would meet certain death, algae 0 well tell to gripping story of mos at spy. eli komen operated on the cover in syria, in the 1960 imo daisha career that ended in public execution. eli cohen must have agents, 88 on al jazeera oh stories of life. oh, and inspiration ah, a series of short documentaries, from around the world that celebrate the human spirit against the odds. ah,

our jazeera selects palestinians. oh, a couple things on the all just to renew our another attempt to evacuate civilians is underway in the ukrainian city of to me. that's where an overnight air strike kill the things. 20 people at a convoy and buses on humanitarian aid vehicle destined for mar, your pole has stopped because of reports of russian shallow foreign fighters are headed to the battle ground in ukraine after the government established an international legion for those coming from abroad. ukraine chose more than $20000.00 foreign volunteers have already joined ukrainian,

president of all of them as a landscape is set to address british empties in the coming hour and it comes with the prime minister bore his johnson continues his diplomatic effort to encourage western leaders to punish russia for the invasion. so more than 290000 ukrainians have arrived in romania following russia's invasion. on monday, the romanian government approved legislation allowing ukrainian children to enroll and local schools who have reports from the border between romania and ukraine. in the bitter cold waiting in the queue can feel longer than it already is. there is a story of people fleeing award. they didn't expect mothers taking their children across the border. families being torn apart as men between the age of 18 to 60. i'm not allowed to leave ukraine under martial law as marina at diversity. i was traveling alone with her 12 year old son. stayed in keys for as long as she could. didn't of

course, have another point. so we stayed because we thought the would attorney moment, it was relatively quiet in our way we heard the bombing, but we didn't think it would get to us until the very last moment we'll realized we had to escape when we heard miss house. my never are had this, but the warnings few believed award breakout until it actually happened detail about how they were caught off guard not expecting to become refugees. and in the mid a group of indian students who arrived in hurricane only 3 weeks ago to start medical school. it was there on 16 days, we were like, we timed out, no, will we no war? and they were, there are just argue and all. but suddenly this happened and viva of you all went to the bunker and we had to, oh, you know, we had a really hard time. there were no facility to it. we oh, oh,

we could skip from there. so we decided to go buy food. we traveled, i guess 20 kilometers by foot, and finally breezed, boiled ally and then we managed to move from there with the buzz a little further down the line. jamar has been is trying to cheer up. these are the last moments they will be together as a family, until who knows when she is afraid for me says, but i think she would be bored without me. she will have nobody to neg. they have travelled for 3 days, some zeppelin jaw in the east, where the russian army is advancing. yep. os, most of the guys at the law. i woke up at 5 am because i heard a huge, loud bang. i thought something fell down from the shelf from the room next door, but the airport was being bombed. roo slona made the same journey, leaving behind her husband sister nieces and nephews. she's begging them to move fast before they get caught up and fighting. she's upset that your life has been up

ended, it was a good, simple one. and she had plans for the future. and she rejects russian president vladimir putin claims that civilians are not being targeted here that the do probably let's do this is not true. it's full scale, we're being annihilated. people are dying, children, elderly, everybody, we have to run by foot as soon as there was an opportunity. it's not true, they're killing us to school. many of the people here are russian speakers, those booting claim. this war is aiming to protect. they became victims of a conflict that started in their name. but of that, i mean other 0 alone to ukraine romania border. their european union and the u. s. are considering whether to ban oil imports from russia, but moscow's warrant crude oil prices could climb to over $300.00 per barrel if

they go ahead. so europe depends on russia for about 40 percent. if it's gas. on monday, the russian deputy prime minister threatened to stop deliveries to germany after berlin suspended a new pipeline. i speak to dominic kane, he's joining us from berlin. so there's a lot at stake here for europe. how likely is it that europe actually goes a hands with best ban on russia? one of the things that the european commission proposals are looking into right now is how to really try to draw down the dependency that there is during on russian natural gas in the u. as you were saying around 40 percent. well, that was a 155000000000 cubic meters of natural gas which was imported into the last year. we know the commission, the relevant commissioner, france to man, since that he wants to reduce that dependency by 2 thirds by the end of this year. so what the proposals that you are in the course of the next hour or so are going to address is exactly how he intends to do that. what alternative forms of energy

generation can there be? which would allow the you to do that? remembering that there are some member states, for example, austria who have a massive dependency on russian natural gas, 80 percent for austria. and indeed in this country, it's very high indeed as well. so what we need to, what we're waiting to hear and what we need to analyze is what the proposals really will be. what's been said so far is to expect a gracie use of hydrogen, a greater use of renewable energy, but also biofuels. and as i say those proposals are due out in the course of the next hour hour and a half or so. all right, you can keep us up to date on that. i'm sure dominic, but in the meantime, talk to us about the german position. the german position is a little bit more nuanced because we know that all of shots, the chancellor is opposed to the idea of an absolute embargo because of that

dependency on natural gas here. russian natural gas here. but his colleague, the vice chancellor, robert har, back from the green, parsi, he has also been looking into harrow germany can radically to use his ministry. is words radically reduced that dependence and then get rid of that dependence on russian natural gas. and he to it is, ministry are going to in the course of the next hour or 2, be outlining what the german government believes is the way forward. and the what's been leaked so far and suggested officially as it were so far, is a much greater use of green technology and green energy. we know already that the chance of shots announced a few weekends ago. the germany intends to build to fast track the building of to new, very large and not liquid natural gas terminals and new to try to buy the buy in natural gas to help them reduce. that's that dependency in the short term. but in the longer term, which is what minister harbor is talking about,

expect to see in his words, a real radical oval, whole of higher energy is generated in this country and consumed in this country. and as i say, that is due, will the proposals at least to do to be published in the course of the next hour or so. all right, thank you so much. stanley kane reporting from berlin. cornelia myer is an economist, an oil and gas specialist. she says, if the u. s. does go ahead with an oil ban, the move is unlikely to make a big difference to russia. the impact to, to russia will be minimal for the us spanning, because only one percent of russian oil exports go to, to, to, to, to the us. and for the us, it's easy to say that because only 3 percent of their imports at the majority of what they consumed, they produce themselves said a largest oil producer. i'm come from russia for europe. it's a very, very different ball game for the u. s. the implications if, if oil, if, if them,

if it manages to convince the europeans to join and i, and, and there's less oil, i'm going towards europe and the us, it will price you all price is it will bring the global oil prices up, and the consumer will feel that the pump all bets are off if europe also bands oil, if it's just at the u. s. i don't think anything will happen. but mind you, you know, if russian oil russian all the, had a hard time finding a home last week and it did the chinese and indians just wait until the discount was high enough and then bought. so russian oil will find the home. it's not the same for guess, but russian oil will find the home, even if the europeans choose not to buy it. lets us me to andrea. you cause the ceo of african energy chamber. he's joining us from johanna's worth. thanks for your time. so there is this ongoing debate now on whether and gas from some african

countries can replace russian supplies to europe if it gets to that point. where do you stand on the side of the debate? i think it is on me and amazing times what africa been done is going to be very difficult. this is not an issue where you and jay are you, are you still with us? all right, apologies. we're having technical issues with johannesburg, europe, and also from from menu or being to these companies. so you would have to do a lot more investment. you would have to really drive a lot more into exploration of gas to be able to get gas in europe. and we did lose you for a few minutes. i didn't really hear everything you have to say, but you were addressing some of the challenges that some countries in africa might face. i mean, what sort of challenges all

right, apologies. we are having technical issues with their johannesburg. we will move away from that story for the time being. and i will go on to other news because will tell you about what's happening in peru. the new prime minister is presenting his government's policies to congress on tuesday and seeking a vote of confidence support. however, as far from a given, many politicians are under investigation and as marianna sanchez reports from lima, the prime minister is already under pressure to make changes to his cabinet. i believe it's the 4th cabinet in 7 months. the government awaits congressional approval on tuesday, but it won't be easy. some lawmakers say they will not give the new ministers a vote of confidence unless prime minister anyway, thought is, makes changes. starting with firing the new health minister at an angle, duty, a doctor, accused of corruption, and lack of experience that has doctors and nurses demanding his resignation and

some precedent. little castillo ministers, in closer circle of advisors, are being investigated for corruption, legal, urine, law, isla. given the accumulation of allegations for the moral health of the republic, the president should come to congress to answer our questions about all this. while castillo himself is been investigated since january for corruption and the legal influence, the precedent denies any wrong doing no, no way. i call it a lie in the media saying he's already going to resign. he's corrupt, i'm not going to run away because a tiny group of people wants to disregard the will of the people who put me in office today. i know that it's hours before tuesday session, his allies had been unable to secure enough votes for the new cabinet. i am afraid that peruvian politics rather than seeking consensus, is dominated by short term calculations linked to immediate interests. o, any say the opposition's most pressing interest now is pe to waste a new ball game,

whether congress approves in a cabinet or not critic say the we'll end game for opposition lawmakers is to oust precedent castillo, a motion to unseat the precedent, dis, in the works it's the 2nd time political force tried to impeach castillo, but analysts say they still don't have enough boats to begin the process of getting you. that doesn't mean this is the end. we will surely see discussions on how to eventually push for the president's removal from office. a recent opinion poll suggests more than 60 percent, disapprove, of ghastly you, and 77 percent disapprove of congress. from crisis to crisis, the spiraling political chaos has left the country with 5 precedence. in 6 years, nearly 30 ministers were placed since last august. disenchanted with produced political class for most peruvians, tuesday's vote may not make much of a difference. i deanna sanchez, i'll just see that lima biddle, back to

n j i. of course the sale of african energy chamber. he's joining us once again from johannesburg. thanks so much for sticking around. so we've been trying to discuss, at least whether there's a role for some countries in africa to, to step in and replace russian supplies to europe. if there is a bound on russian oil and gas at what's your take on it, is going to be very tall. immediately, you're going to need many miles for african countries to be able to wrap up gas production. but don't forget, would l a g, a lot of the contract that are already placed your long term contracts, long term agreements that could really work right now. you've got gas from doing the off the for the 1st looking at a g, africa out of a room. so that might be a possibility, but that is not enough very, very small. african countries. i've had a tough time with gas and g development because of the massive on the investment

from our companies. i'm from european countries that blocking financing of gas projecting was a big in synagogue in nigeria or a country name of climate change. right? i mean, you have, as you're saying is some sub saharan african countries, at least with massive gas reserves. but why is it that some of them have struggle to attract investment, to build their gas infrastructure projects to be able to supply to countries in europe, that no one has done. and i'm, he did not really consider gas as major because the weight so happy on the car. and one second issue that you have to pay attention to be have been massy ship when it comes to climate policy, where a lot of the climate actually are really push to stop exploration for gas if really push to stop any kind of investment. when you go offering gas exploration and

development, european back for structural. so the need financing to come right to move that but also yeah, i guess also have also been responsible because they just have not don't use well, your receipts or gas deals that are pending a huge amount, almost 300. yes, nigeria projects been stopping tens an e m with some b. the need to move fast. i need to refresh, track these projects and getting going and let them market course is really driving so it's not just a european blame on the investment. the africans have been very bad, you know, making an approved and fast tracking gas deals. and, and just one more question for you, since i have you with, is there a role here to what role rather to what extent, excuse me, does a perhaps insecurity in some parts of countries in africa. play a role in all of this and, and they're in development of the sector it

be, she just will as compared to energy infrastructure better. first thing you have to do is done. you start developing happy flat van will look at what is going on was i'm b, it has is being resolved. look at a trans herron gas pipeline that nisha nigeria are curious. that is going to be done. we're africa. gas has low security risk. but also you need to really drive investment, and a lot of it also is going to be done offshore with treat. you can even ra, would low security reasons when you look at doing protein energy that you can move your pin marcus. any best in you in order to get the benefits. thank you so much. and j, i ok for a 2nd to us from johannesburg. well, it's been nearly 5 years since i saw was defeated in iraq about women who were raped and tortured, are still struggling to rebuild their lives. and today on international women's day,

we take a closer look at how a lack of laws to protect them. as pushing some women over the edge, just a warning. some of you may find osama. bon jovi is reported from cur. cook disturbing. behind the facade of routine kitchen work, i couldn't stories of wraith torture and abandonment. for years these women were abused by eisen fighters and now their lives are uncertain. oh la laura, what? the one they're. they're we're basing us and raping us. my children live with that memory. and now suffer from injuries from the spine to the neck. the shock of what she saw was so horrific that this child lost her ability to speak . we cannot reveal their identity as dana fears, risks from their own families. some were freed by being ransom twice and other discovered after the armed group was repeated in iraq. out of the thousands of

years after they escaped on housing breaks down whenever her daughter begins to speak on their song via my mother told them do whatever you want to do to me but leave my daughter alone, do not marry her to one of you than they raped my mother before my eyes and leisure they raped me in front of my mother. there's no future, nothing is left still. they have not given up hope for justice. they call themselves invisible victims living in plain sight, but no one to call their own. and as they rate their families, tribes and most of the international community continues to ignored them. the sum of the job it on the 0 cur cook sports news is coming up after the break, including fuses, decision to allow foreign players in ukraine and russia to suspend our contracts on to join other teams. ah
