most part it's largely dry across south asia. we got clear skies, dry weather, lots of sunshine coming through. temperate is set up where they should be as well. 32 in new delhi, we're getting well up into the mid thirty's, wasn't high. 30 sir. up towards the yet north west of india. pakistan stays dry, can't say the same bush lanka was showers rolling in here this weekend. oh, with sponsored by casara ways. are china in the u. s. re blocking their way to war in the struggle over ukraine? here's the test for president joe biden, with really trying to do is rewrite the security architecture in this, your personal united states. if you go to walk and chew gum at the same time, your weekly pay on us politics and society, that's the bottom line revealing eco friendly solutions to come back. threats to our planet on al jazeera. ah

ah, looking back here watching out as a reminder about top stories this, our russian forces slowly advancing on ukraine's capital cave gung fine. explosions were heard in the early hours of saturday. military convoy is taking a position surrounding the protest as in the ukrainian city of minutes, hopeful are demanding the release them may cranes. government has put out security camera for search, which it says shows have been abducted by russian soldiers 2 and a half 1000000 refugees have now left ukraine, putting pressure on neighboring european countries. also as may us, as refugees make up 10 percent of the polish capitals population,

an accommodation is running out well neighboring countries like moldova and romania have open their doors to tens of thousands of ukrainians. the busiest border crossings are slovakia, hungry, and poland. where more than a 1000000 and a half people have now fled. since the beginning of the conflict, refugees have been facing extreme cold as they wait to cross borders. sporadic cease fires in ukraine have allowed some civilians to escape through humanitarian corridors, but fighting is hampered. all the evacuation, if we came from mary, oppose it is awful that the entire city was encircled him. no one could get around . we prayed, as we were flee, god led us and we managed to get out of it. all our relatives remained. we have no contact with them. we can't reach them. we are praying for god to save them because we don't know how to help them get out. children a sick now just have stomach pain,

but i don't know what we are going to do next. we're moving towards uncertainty. monica matters is from the polish humanitarian organization group, or granite car, which provides aide to assign him seekers. she says poland is facing a huge challenge. it's re hundreds of thousands of people who has to be accommodated very quickly. they need medical help, they need legal help, they need explaining what's going to happen to them within the next few months. you know, they also need some sort of psychological assistance. quite often. first of all, to like her, you know, regain their, their, their, their mental ability. after crossing the border and officer is keeping the war. and then the 2nd thing is probably looking into the future. so far, the burden of all of this is lying heavily on the local authorities and you know,

to society organizations. this is what's been, who has been helping out the, you know, train station stations, organizing accommodation, etc, etc. though we don't know what's going to happen next to people's patients and also ability to, you know, put out their, their home, their money. it's a driving it. we run out at some point. i mean, logically and reasonably, i don't know how long, maybe weeks, maybe months. it also depends very much about like from the, you know, that we're going to get from the west, from the european union, from the, you know, central government systemic solutions, etc. well, the russian foreign ministry has warned today that the price of oil, gas and electricity could rise threefold because of the sanctions imposed on moscow . a russian government official also warned that the international space station could crash because of the sanctions. the war threatening, of course,

to send the prize to storing across parts of the middle east and north africa. many countries that rely heavily wheat import, say, dakota explains. 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, 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 foodstuffs are

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 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 the 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 depend on import 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 as poverty in a region already in turmoil, and where hire bread prices have led to popular anger. in the past. santa hood,

their elders, ada will unify says the number of children killed in yemen is continuing to increase as violence in the war. torn country continues. the un children's agency says nearly 50 children were killed or injured in the 1st 2 months of 2022 alone. unicef says more than 10200 children happen verified as killed or injured in yemen since a conflict escalated 70 years ago. but i believe the actual number is likely to be much higher. any 60 percent of chance population is under 18. unicef says only half of all children that have access to formal education schools as severely overcrowded and on the staffed officer is here. morgan reports from the capital j b. know it school time, but that the law is not preparing her 7 year old daughter for classes. instead his reading her and her siblings to do work around conduct village on the outskirts of

a shortage of schools has led to the country's high electricity rate. less than 25 percent of adults are able to read and write. chad government says it's working to set up more schools. but some teachers are also part of the problem on aka, where there is some teachers who are qualified and assigned to government schools prefer to teach private institutions to be able to earn more income. that creates a shortage of government run schools and kids tend to miss out on classes. but we're working to address that as well as trying to set up schools and all of these around the country and ensure kids go to school. that says, if a call it sets up in can do, she will send her children to it. but she says she hopes that when and if one is built, her economic conditions will have improved so that she won't need their help to put food on the table. he will morgan algebra in jemina. chili has a new president, gabrielle borage is a former student leader. his promised more inclusive society in one of the regions
