steadfast and al jazeera keith. russia has been accused of using a un security council meeting to spread lies and disinformation about biological weapons in ukraine. western ambassadors claim russia fabricating the threat to justify its war. russia says anyone who doubts as evidence is deluding themselves from the un, is my kind of it was a full security council session held on ukraine since russia launched its invasion . but the 1st one called by russia itself, moscow claiming that ukraine supported by the u. s. is developing biological weapons. and the russian ambassador attempting to preempt the denials he said he was expecting with brazilian, with irksome muscles of the clinic of doris. i can foresee what the reaction will be from our western colleagues who i'm sure are going to be saying now that all of this information is fake and russian propaganda. but this is self delusion. un was direct in its assessment of the allegation. i am aware of media reports regarding

allegations of biological weapons programs. the united nations is not aware of any biological weapons programs. the reaction of several members was incredulous. i will say this once. ukraine does not have a biological weapons program. there are no ukrainian biological weapons laboratories supported by the united states. absolutely, everything we have been hearing from russia regarding ukraine has been false, fabricated or distorted. the british ambassador describe the russian claims as baseless conspiracy theories. let me put it diplomatically. they are utter nonsense. china was the only security council member to offer a modicum of support to russia's claims. oh, and the ukrainian ambassador argued that russia had made a mistake in calling for the meeting by calling this me thing. the aggressor state

has suit itself in foot. once again at the meeting was opened with a briefing by the you ends, political and peace building, chief of russia. and she referenced credible reports of russia's use of cluster bombs and civilian areas. strikes at hospitals and the deaths of hundreds of men, women, and children. the meeting russia called to highlight its allegations, became instead a scathing indictment of its actions during the invasion. mike hannah al jazeera united nations, and the u. s. is announced further sanctions against moscow, including a band on russian sea food vodka and diamonds is also revoking. russia's favorite trading status in coordination with g 7 allies. each of our nation is going to take steps to deny most favored nation status to russia. a most favored nation status designation means 2 countries have agreed to trade with each other under the best

i started immediately having flashbacks from the whole bone being that hadn't syria . i witnessed everything that happened in syria until 2012 until it became really dangerous to stay there. so my family and i decided to flee to crane and start from scratch because unfortunately we saw no future an area. and i'm so sad to see that history is literally repeating itself. the same thing that i have witnessed and syria is happening right now, which is cities are being demolished and history being wiped out. and i'm the phone me and not planning to let that happen. this time in this year, people have become the new and you cannot hide anything like you could hided basically 10 years ago. because unfortunately, and bizarre had was

a master and hiding of that and creating in different blogs around the country just in order to make people believe what is happening as is that he's trying to help people out. but in fact, is literally the most in history just to fit it's dictatorship. and the war in ukraine is threatening to send food prices soaring and parts of the middle east and north africa. countries that rely heavily on which imports from both russia and ukraine. they had a 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. i'm after the

other. we've reached out to a number of countries, including the us on india, canada, and some european countries which produce the soft 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 prices have already hit a 14 year high. what she's doing 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 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 is 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 and north africa who live in poverty. have a lot of money to have a grainy russian war will affect import, export, and trade. because we are all importers of wheat. and most of the food stamps are from abroad in the soda the. across this region, economies have been hit by inflation and large public depth. others have been destroyed by war, syria no longer produces enough wheat 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 gammon, 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 dependent on imports of wheat from russia, from ukraine, sorry, 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 is poverty in a region already in turmoil, and where higher bread prices have led to popular anger in the past santa, who, their elders, ada. there's been some other well news now. saudi arabian blogger rice badani, has been freed from prison. a dollar was arrested by saudi authorities in 2012. after criticizing the religious beliefs on his blog is tenny, a sentence included public flogging, which bought an international outcry. but dolly could still be banned from even saudi arabia for a decade. a left leaning former student leader has vowed to improve the lives of all chileans during his 1st speech as president deborah borage campaign to form an inclusive government that will tackle poverty and equality,

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 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 me is have yet us at that, ellie. she is also one of the many billions the millions were voted for president body. a tell me something. are you not worried that even that he is so young and unexperienced that this could also be a double edged sword with no, i'm not worried at all. a with death had a precedent for 4 years that had a lot expedius and he did it very poorly. so i don't think 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 pulled the

past 1420 years, something different. thank you very it out. when divides something different. see me into a more see, i'm sure she me as most gillian, so voted for body to me. i bore socially equal inclusive country. that is what he is promising. again, he is just starting, but he is starting with a lot of you can see on public supports ah, perfectly sort of a headlines here it al jazeera, russia has expanded its offensive into western ukraine. shocking 3 cities including denise pro desperate conditions, continue in car called car. keep on mario poll. meanwhile, the u. s. and e, you have escalated sanctions, taking more steps to an old trade with russia. the questions remain over the safety of ukraine's nuclear power sites. ukraine's regulator says electricity supply to which a novel has not been restored to.
