more steps to end, all right, with russia and the questions remain about the safety of ukraine's nuclear power sites. ukraine's regulator says electricity supply to which a novel has not been restored despite russia's energy manager saying it was reconnected on thursday and the u. s. is accused russia using a un security council meeting to spread lies and disinformation, ambassador linda thomas greenfield, said rushes, playing out a potential false flag operation, where it fabricates allegations about biological weapons against ukraine in order to justify retaliation. no matter the company that owns facebook and instagram could soon be banned in russia as an extremist organization. the moves in response to facebook announcing, but it's relaxing its rules on calls or violence. that's now a partial exception. when the target is russian troops in ukraine, what his part of a statement from matters global affairs president nick plague, our policies are focused on protecting people's rights to speech as an expression of self defense. in reaction to a military invasion of their country. to be clear,

we are only going to apply this policy in ukraine itself. we have no quarrel with the russian people. a rob reynolds joins us live now from los angeles. rob, this is a pretty significant decision by matter. talk us through the details. yes, it is. a as darrel and it has caused a great deal of the stirred up some troublesome consternation, not only in russia and among russian officials, but also internet and the social media platform. a watchdogs here in the united states and some international human rights organizations. the what essentially what meta is saying is that users in ukraine posting things like death to russian soldiers is a form of political expression. this began to unfold on thursday when the meta platform decided to temporarily change the terms of its a hate speeds, speech,

speech policy, excuse me. specifically uses a facebook and instagram are now allowed in certain countries as nick klegg said, a in ukraine to post calls for the death of a russian president vladimir putin or for the death of a belo russian president. alexander over his shanker, as well as the saying things like death to russian soldiers and slogans of that nature, met as rules still block attacks on russian civilians and prisoners of war. and so on friday, russia a restricted access to instagram and launched a criminal investigation against meta and its employees. russia had already blocked facebook last week, a complaining that the platform, restricted russian media outlets. and officials have also voice concern over metas rule change that they say could lead to hostility or even attacks against

russian citizens. russia has also crack down on twitter. russia prosecutors now calling for meta, which is a bay which is based here in california, by the way to be branded an extremist organization and accused the company of ily, all calls for murder and violence against russian citizens. it's extremely unlikely that this investigation would result in any meta employees or executives of being brought to trial in russia. because as bernard smith spoke of a few moments ago, there is no actual met a headquarters in that country. but it is a certainly a sign that this war is being fought, not only on the battlefield with tanks and aircraft, but also in the realm of information and online information. there is a relatively small number 7 and a half 1000000 russians who use facebook. but the number that use instagram is

about 51000000 are rob reynolds. my father in law sank, his rob, thank you. so let's take a closer look at this decision with eminem. and he's a ceo and found of a center for countering digital haiti joins us live from washington, d. c, a image of metal platform, santas, making allowances for forms of what it called political expression that would normally violate its rules on violent speech. how significant is this step by meta and is setting up perhaps a dangerous precedent? do you think? well, let's look 1st of all the impact of it at the moment. mess her by their own admission and the written documents. which frances, how going leak to the whistleblower from facebook. they only deal with 0.6 percent of all violence and intimidation on their platform. so $99.00 out of a 100 times if you wrote something which was inciting violence and or intimidation, it wouldn't be dealt with on any journalist. for example,

in the united states would laugh hollowly if they were told that mattered as a marvelous job of cleaning up the violence and intimidation on their platform. any politician would to. so in reality, they're saying we're, we're losing a policy that we barely managed to enforce to even one percent anyway. but i think more fundamentally it x is really big question. do they have a list of autocrats and dictators that if you aren't allowed to call for hom on to them? it's a bizarre situation where an arbitrary set of rules have been invented by mark zak, a bug and nick leg. i suspect to the, to, to distract attention from one key fundamental. they are still allowing russia to send ra, english language propaganda via r t on that platform. and this call that's coming from all a society right now is d platform, russia today. when's that gonna happen? yet im unopposed, many people will say it does seem extraordinary that that but it's now okay for

uses in some countries to cope of violence example against the russian leda. so is russia than justified in our calling for this criminal investigation? for what it describes as, as metas extremist activities will, it has every right to enforce its criminal code. if it says the incitement against politicians is a criminal act, then of course it, it has the right to have a look at matter as a knowing vector of a vonage and avant intimidation. but to be frank, i think they're not going to get very far because the truth is that matter have been incredibly resistant to any sort of judicial process, whether it's in the u. k, the e u, australia, new zealand, let alone russia in which they have no real assess or staff. who are they going to prosecute yet a man? i mean, how much does this then raise a much bigger question about the very future of moderation of violent hate speech on lineman? is it possible to effects me, police?

what is acceptable and what isn't acceptable? will clearly violent intimidation. so i'm saying that you want to cause harm to someone else. that is something that's definable in the criminal code. it's, it's in sort of the offences against the person's act in the u. k. in the u. s. it's clearly defined as to what makes someone feel that they may be at risk of harm . and facebook have for the main part allowed that any way to run amok on their system. that the fact that they now are setting these weird rules. i suspect that this kind of p r stunt that they're pulling today to show that that tough on putin will in fact, back far on them because it opens up a series of questions about when it comes to deciding which dictated to accept bar and threats against in which, nor who on earth elected mark zuckerberg to make that decision. i am and i'm had really good to get your thoughts and your analysis on this. and when thank you for talking to thank you. not more than 2500000 refugees of now fled the war

most are making their way into neighboring eastern european countries. but others have gone further west, including hundreds who found safety in portugal, schuman wolf report. it's been a terrifying and exhausting journey. bought more than 260 ukranian refugees are now safe from portugal present. marcello sabelle de sosa and his delegation were there to welcome them to their new home interested research. so the best response is to see their eyes shining with joy when they arrive in portugal. it's this help that we give that motivates us the most. portugal recently approved a new resolution, simplifying its entry and protection requirements for ukrainian refugees fleeing the war under the new measure, ukrainian citizens can obtain legal status with immediate access to taxpayers, social security and national health service numbers. really like the ha, we as an association will give them psychological educational,

human food and medical support so that they can start to integrate into society and build their lives here in portugal, the european nation is home to a large ukrainian community of around 30000 people programs are being put in place to help integrate new refugees, including language courses and job skills training. the government has set up a task force to match ukrainians with work opportunities with more than 17000 jobs already listed. and with portugal is low number of working population. this might just prove beneficial for the nation and it's new guess chilling wolf out as you took as president rep typo and has criticized the structure the un security council odor. one was speaking of a diplomacy form in the city of antalya. he says, the security council's inability to prevent the conflict in ukraine shows that reform is needed. looks on it, jenn included in it, a $193.00 nations combi under the grace of 5 nations. it is essential to establish

a new global security architecture that will protect peace instead of the status quo and serve humanity instead of the interests of 5 countries. when one of the conflicting parties has the right to veto. the coercive role of the un security council becomes useless. while the warn ukraine is threatening to send food prices soaring and parts of the middle east and north africa, countries there rely heavily on wheat imports from both russia and ukraine. many families may soon struggle to put food on the table, st. aha to report. 11000 tons of wheat arrived in lebanon this week, but this will be the last shipment from ukraine, the world's key, wheat producers, russia and ukraine are at war, lebanon, like other countries in the middle east and north africa can no longer rely on them for most of their imports, they're now trying to make up for an expected shortage of fee on big america.

beyond the canada, we've reached out to a number of countries including the us, india, canada, and some european countries which produce the soft wheat we need for our bread. but the problem is not just finding alternative sources, diversifying supplies could mean transportation delays or an increase in shipping costs. we'd prices have already had a 14 year high us to go and differently. we will resort to more expensive countries that export weight, which would sell to us at prices that are not as cheap as in russia and ukraine. so if the conflict is prolonged and supply is list, this will lead pressure on the balance of payments or the budget vehicle. egypt, for example, is one of the largest importers of weight in the world and 80 percent of its supply . it's from ukraine and russia. it is considering raising the price of bread for the 1st time in $3.00 decades. it's no difference in lebanon, where authorities warn the central bank may not be able to subsidize bread. if

prices continue to rise, the tunisian government, which is believed to be running out of money, has been rationing flower and reduced bread production. increase in prices will affect millions of people in the middle east in north africa who live in poverty. have a lot of money to have a grainy rushing war will affect import, export, and trade. because we are all importers of, most of the food stuff from abroad in the soda, the, across this region, economies have been hit by inflation and large public debt. others have been destroyed by war, syria no longer produces enough. we to feed its population. so it relies on imports and it's now rationing wheat. the world food program says 12000000 syrians are food insecure, while yemen is on the brink of 7 pm. and for example, were 16000000 people require food assistance and the world food program is interesting. 13000000 of them. this country is almost entirely dependent on food

importance and depends on import of wheat from russia, from ukraine. story by about 30 percent. so any shock, any slight shock would actually send these countries into a very, very serious food crisis. food prices are at their highest level. so as poverty in a region already in turmoil, and where higher brett prices have led to popular anger in the past said who their elders either. ah, and some other world news now and the saudi arabian blogger rife, bardari, has been freed from prison after 10 year jail term for insulting islam. adar, he was arrested by saudi authorities in 2012. after criticizing the country is really just police on his blog. his sentence included public flogging, which sparked an international outcry and criticism of saudi arabia's human rights record. despite his recent jail,

letting this area in order to wish well their new president, and also to hear him speak when he addresses the nation for the 1st time these are mainly young people, as you can see, they are very, very enthusiastic. got the advantage is the country's youngest ever president. and more than that, he has also a very young cabin and he's being accompanied by many of the student leaders whom a decade ago. i've written, said about a student to revolt, a university student to revolt for veteran public education in this country. and he is now actually the leader of chile, here we embodies what many say is a turning point in this country or generational change. but he is also a leader with little experience or no experience actually in government, although he was a congressman joining these have yet us at that early. she is also one of the many billions of the millions were voted for president body and tell me something,

are you not worried that even that he is so young and an experience that this could also be a double edged sword with? no, i'm not worried at all a we had a precedent for 4 years that had a lot of experience and he did it very poorly. so i don't think the lack of experience means he's going to be a bad leader. what do you think? what you really want him to be different from everything that we've had fully past 1420 years, something different. thank you. sorry it wasn't my divides something different. see me into a more see, i'm sure she me as most julian so voted for body to me. i'm more socially equal inclusive country. that is what he is promising. again, he is just starting, but he is starting with a lot as you can see, a public support. mexico has lashed out at the european union after it criticized the way journalist a treated their present and that manual lopez abra door accused the european parliament members of being like sheep. they added their names to a resolution to stop him from verbally attacking reporters. unprecedented numbers.

of journalists have been killed in mexico in recent months. the maxim president's rhetoric has been cited as inflammatory. china has reported more than a 1000 new corona virus infections. it's the highest daily count. since the pandemic started a government's not all that, a lockdown in the northeast and city of junk. jung under beijing, 0 tolerance policy. chinese authorities vowed to put communities under locked down whenever a positive case is registered. kenny has lifted its remaining cobit 19 restrictions . they include a ban on large indoor gatherings and proof of a negative test of people entering the country. can years health ministry also said that people will no longer have to wear face masks in public. people living on a low lying island in the bay of bengal is say, they are losing that fight against climate change. the island seen one of the fastest sea level rise as recorded in the world and it's predicted it may disappear in 30 years. some scientists are using oyster,

reese to come waves before they reach the shores, giving a faint hope of protection from the charger reports got up there is an island of fishing villages and rice farms, but its half din sides in 20 years because of rising sea levels because of the intrusion of salt water, much of its farmlands are now used to produce salt, money or alum and his family lost their ancestral farmland to the sea. years ago, i went down to the company. i guess when i was a child, the island was much larger in size and much farther away. but now it's gradually getting smaller due to rosen and things got worse since the diet got washed away by the sea and late salt water. and that some marion scientists are now offering some hope that building artificial oyster rates that they say it can save the coastline from erosion, the reef, and not only can protect deco select. it can also have that environment providing that different ecosystem savvy this and the fish immense who are living here. that

can also get some benefits. examples these are studies really can have to and has the appreciated production because these reefs can provide shells as foods and other ecosystem services. professor now essays in order to make the project succeed, the scientist, local government, and the fishermen need to team up to manage the rates. the la b, joy stories can prevent erosion and say the land. plus it helps see grasses grow around it and create a natural environment for fish stoppers, which is beneficial to us. i still spouts float for nearly a month before settling on hard surfaces and each other's backs, and the scientists are providing them with the rings of cement, to get their permanent home stop and the baby in their life stage they need to settle. so what do we do? use a very simple techniques. we are bringing the substrate or hot our phase and we have

them to struggle a lot. there are still ribs are made up of live oysters, dead ice to shells and other marine organisms, coastal areas of bangladesh on natural habitat for ice jet. what you see formation of why still a fear. now there's also work as a natural barrier against your ocean. although this is an experimental pilot project, the humble oyster, if it proved, it could be a cost effective solution to limit coastal erosion among bangladesh and the most vulnerable islands can be charged re i'll just put up the island time for another short break. when i come back and i will, the sports a pre season blow out of the 1st formula, one race for the year. and you be here in just to read more, not counting feet foods cheap and sometimes dangerous copies of the real thing of been found. all over the world, i mean even the most expensive premium product. it's the secretive and deadly multi

$1000000000.00 business. we found one problem was about one 3rd, or stay in a, in us, which was just an incredible finding. during raids on one of the most notorious mathy again in calabria, italian police found consignments of fake olive oil made from industrial lubricants that were being exported to the united states. the main thing that we do when we carry out criminal investigations is to reconstruct the money flow and the flow of goods and connect these together. it's office fruits does profits that are easy to make and hard to ignore. perhaps it means that all of us should be a little more vigilant about what we put on our plates. al jazeera is here to report on the people often ignored, but who must be hurt. how many other channels can you say will take the time and put extensive thought into reporting from under reported areas?

of course we cover major global offense about our personal lives and making sure that you're hearing the stories from people in places like how is fine. yeah, yeah man, have region and so many other we go to them, we make the effort. we care. oh, a type of the sport. thank you very much. chelsea could still be so despite the clubs russian on a roman brokovich being hit by a series of sanctions potential buyers have been sold to approach the u. k. government directly for chelsea, fight norwich,

he was in sales because their phone conversation was cut short because of bombing, they were in a bomb shelter and, and he could literally hear the bomb shopping around them. and so you know that the team doesn't really care about the metals either using the platform of in very intense or international media focus to talk about what's going on in ukraine, the doing so low that stories have broken through. and i'm sure it brings a smile to people's faces to, to read at least something small that's positive in a flood of terrible new stories. and the murray has won his $700.00 top level match alignment coming against tara daniel. and me 1st round that indian wells and i eastern eating all of his prize money for the rest of the year to help children in re recruits england abiding themselves towards safety. in the 1st test, much of their series in the west indies, a century from zach crawley,
