4:02 pm
hundreds were taking shelter. there's been more fighting in the southern port city of mario paul, russian attacks of his hospital, a church and countless apartment blocks. local officials say more than 39000 people left the city last week. this was part of an agreement between ukraine and russia. ukrainian, president of all of them is the landscape accusing russian troops of committing war crimes in mario paul. look at the might to do this to a peaceful city. what the occupiers did to it is a terror that will be remembered for centuries to come, and the more ukrainians tell the world about it. the more support we find, the more russia uses terror against ukraine, the worst, the consequences will be on time neighborhoods and now trying to leave the city with fairs of more strikes by the russian army. stephanie decker reports from western new crime. it's relentless and it's been 3 weeks of this.
4:03 pm
the neighborhoods of mary paul are unrecognizable. now the bodies lie where they fell. it's not safe to collect them. not safe to bury them in a cemetery. small salis for their families, the cold keeping them from decomposing cars lined the streets as people try to flee checkpoints, make sure only civilians lead since that i know are you and i what i could i and i, i got out of the city central district with bonds and destruction, we lost her house. so now we're leaving with our children. we're still in shock and fearful russian forces of continuously targeted this port city where weeks of shelling have kept about 400000 people hostage. local authorities say moscow's attacks have caught electricity, supplies, heating, and water. this city has shut down. russia denies its targeting civilians,
4:04 pm
but its air strikes have hit civilian buildings like this city school. and recently, a theater where people were seeking safety from bombings, survivors say life will never be the same. it still bitterly cold outside. and this woman lost her home, but saw no longer have the energy or the will to try to leave. she just, he is just muscle wizard, wiley, the city now after what we've been through, we've had difficult days with bombings, hunger and cold weather. as you can see, our neighbourhood is destroyed mutual somewhere. as russian forces continue their assault of the city, ukrainians fiercely resist their advances. life has been put on hold for every one left behind in mary paul. and it's been described as a living hell. stephanie decker al jazeera in western ukraine. or go live to moscow and bernard smith, shortly, but 1st to rob mcbride in the western ukrainians. if you love,
4:05 pm
if obviously ra mateo pole in the spotlight to day, what are you hearing about the situation there now that's what the plight of valuable really are still very much the focus on this sunday and the deteriorating conditions. therefore, the people who remain with the, the latest development is that there has been as apparent shelling of an art school with the authorities. that as they're saying that around 400 people had been taking shelter there. so that is a cause for concern or their well being that plight. but also this comes on top of course of the, at the destruction of a theater that was in the middle of this past week, where the authority said that more than a 1000 people were taking shelter. we know that a number of people have been pulled out from their rescue efforts have been under way, but the authorities say that because of the intense fighting around that error, it's difficult for the rescue operation to continue all the while these
4:06 pm
humanitarian corridors do seem to remain open and people are being evacuated from the city. our colleagues from al jazeera arabic have been given access by the russians to the city of been what seeing the work of these checkpoints where people have been leaving. the russian soldiers are checking that are they are indeed civilians and not soldiers are all fighters. but the big concern is getting stuff into mary awful in terms of humanitarian aid. and there is a growing humanitarian crisis there and a quality of the authorities. they simply are not getting the, the aid that they need to deal with that and also something of a search for survivors going on in places like nikolai of right take us through us becoming the daily grim reality and routine of life fair in ukraine. that's right, this is been going on there for for more than a day this, so through the rubble of what was
4:07 pm
a military base in this strategically very important city. this attack happened in the early hours of saturday morning, or when a large contingent of ukrainian marines were it on this sad base. as it has been reduced to rubble by this missile attack of the rescue. rescuers have been a pulling people from the rubble some injured, but many a dead bodies as well as the ukrainians are giving very little away in terms of exact numbers. but there are some suggestions that the final death toll from this could run into the scores of soldiers, which if that is the case, then this would seem to be the single biggest loss of military life for the ukrainians in a single attack. so far, this is a, from the ukrainian point of view, a huge set back further garrison trying to defend this city because they have been claiming some successes in recent days in pushing the russians back and in pushing back their artillery. and there is a, a feeling that the russians are now resorting maybe to the use of
4:08 pm
a miss. allison rockets are also compounded by the fact that they still don't have air superiority. they loved the luster of quite a few aircraft in the early days and weeks of this war. and so are resorting now to drones and missiles and instead of that. but it is important from a russian point of view that they take mc alive. because of course, that is the gateway to the much more important city of desa. thanks so much, rob mcbride, they're now the front lines. eastern city of harkins has been continuously targeted since the start of the war. and to serious as had vague is there her gave has been pounded by russian force his day and night. so if you hear loud thuds, that's how heavy artillery being fired and also incoming. but let me show you some of the devastation of what impact a bomb has. now, this was hit just a few days ago and just take a look at the size of that crater. now we understand the target was
4:09 pm
a military priest building were told that the russians actually missed that and it landed here, it's destroyed. cause or we believe that the ca, mechanic, taste that's been absolutely destroyed cause have been absolutely crushed. but the building next to it was a residential building, and 2 people were killed to civilians. but just against some of the impact of this bumps, it landed here, it ripped through this entire area, causing damage to the buildings here. but also take a look at that. that's a block of flats, residential people's homes. people live, completely destroyed, known can live in there anymore. the windows have been blown out and that's the devastation of just one bump. now across the street is the high court. the court building there and that's been hit that's been destroyed. the windows have been blowing out this residential building to the other side of the street. they've been absolutely destroyed and across the street from where this bomb landed is
4:10 pm
a park. now there's a large crater there, a swell, a very close to the playground, again, causing absolute destruction. now this is what's happening. the reason why we're wearing this protective armor is because people in the city don't know when the russians strike and where they will strike. and it's completely unpredictable at the moment civilian centers, i've been hit, civilian residential building have been hit, the consent it has been hit, the shopping wallet hit. and the latest that we've heard from today is that in one of the areas of harkey, 5 people were killed including a 9 year old child. now this city has held out against russian forces. ukrainian forces have managed to keep them out, but it is under constant fire. day and night. russia says it's once again use type of sonic missiles to attack ukraine. the defense ministry said it hit military facilities. one of the targets was reportedly an armored vehicle repair
4:11 pm
site in the town of machine. russia said it 5 cruise missiles from the black sea. in nikolai, of a fuel deco is destroyed by high precision, the 1005 from the caspian sea and crimea. russia says it also destroy the military training center and of roche, where foreign mercenaries, the based smith joins us now live from moscow. so what else is the ministry of defense thing? russia's ministry of defense says it's used these hypersonic missiles to target locations in ukraine, military training facility in a fuel storage facility that is also launched. cruise missiles are from the caspian and black seas at targets in ukraine. and russia are says that it's particularly targeted, a training center or for ukrainian and what they call foreign merson is these
4:12 pm
a foreign fighters? we've come from overseas to join the ukranian army at large is one of those nonprofit, the hypersonic dagger missiles destroyed a large fuel depot used by ukraine's armed forces near the village of constantinople. kind of motion the main supplies of fuel for you, greens, army vehicles in the south were carried out there. the high precision miss. i allowed to instruct the training center good for you. green special forces or what their foreign mercenaries were based on. right now the something of an arms race going on between russia, the u. s. and china over the development of these hypersonic missiles that can fly at 5 times the speed of sound. there's no, indeed there's no way of independently verifying whether russia has actually used them or not. but if they have that, it would be the 1st time in a battlefield situation. that these missiles have been deployed an indication of really the superior missile technology. but russia has at its disposal compared to
4:13 pm
what ukraine is trying to fight with. all right, thanks so much bernard smith, her bring in justin bronc in london. he's a research fellow for ad power at the royal you to serve you role united services institute. i should say thank you so much for joining us. so 1st of all, let's start with the question of what exactly makes a miss ayla hypersonic missile? what makes it more advanced? it's simply down to the speed or is there anything different when it comes to its payload and its precision and so on? and so there are a few times of type to sonic missiles which use different principles. so one would be simply put maneuverable if you'd like, light vehicle like 100 miles on top of a large ballistic missiles or something that flies a ballistic trajectory goes up very high and then comes down using not coming down very fast to, to use that speed in manila and then those cruise missiles which use something
4:14 pm
called a scram jet basic teen incredibly high speed, jet engine. as well as a base the rocket. it seems to have been the russians have indeed used the michel, they're trying to control. this is effectively a simpler weapon. it's basically a ballistic missile. it's an adapt to discover a ballistic missile on the standard medium range. ballistic missiles that they have adapted to be launched from a very large site to intercept one. and so by launching at a very high speed and very high altitude, it doesn't have to use all that fuel to climb from the ground up into a ballistic off because it would normally do. and so it ends up flying very, very fast. does it give any tactical advantage in terms of range? it gives a significant degree of range, but the main point to it is that it comes in at a sufficiently high speed to make it very hard to intercept. so against nature targets, which would be protected by the advanced american ballistic missile defenses. so
4:15 pm
the joe system for the years, navy, or something like patriot pack for your bug coming in that fast makes it very difficult to intercept. so it doesn't particularly gives them anybody to fill the vantage against the crane because ukraine has only been intercepting a couple of, of rushes, conventional christmas i'll attacks. but it's more of a sort of warning shop today to say, you know, remember we have this weapon system, but it can penetrate the upgraded missile defense system. use language into my next question is, does the baffle in ukraine really necessitate the use of this weapon? or is it really a warning as you hinting out from russia safe and i don't escalate the types of defenses or weapons that you're sending. we have the ability to bypass them 0 as a real military need. use hypersonic law in ukraine because ukraine doesn't have
4:16 pm
defenses. the contract big to send against much cheaper, much simpler sauce. and indeed, russia is struggling somewhat with its total arsenal of stand off missile. so using really extensive, really, really sort of gas things like the can. joe is arguably a bit of a waste from a military point of view in ukraine. but as you say, it's very much a signal to towards nato. but it's also partly something that we saw in russia's in a participation, the civil war in syria, and from 2015, where we saw them use lots of very high end weapon systems. so things like low rate cross section. so stealthy cruise missiles fired from into continental bonus, which again had no military value per se, but it was so that they could a test them be be able to say for exports that they were close on quite combat, proven. and so there may be an element here of russia just using ukraine as a sort of place to say it's been the 1st country to use hypersonic missiles and now look about proven how prohibitive is the cost of these missiles for more widespread
4:17 pm
use. sadie, better bits of so they are cheaper than a hospice on a cruise missile or a true hypersonic besides something like the russian of god to be prescribed with any share cdns or con, which is developmental lakisha and christmas. all the time with those are significantly more expensive than the the can job because the control is essentially taking them existing. this island, i'm just launching in a different way, but they don't have a huge number of them. they don't have a huge number. be intercepted 5 and then they have to make dirty ones. and it's certainly a fairly young, sustainable way to conduct any sort of sustained bombardment for them. all right, thank you very much. well, cross the ukrainian capital, a volunteer forces emerged to help those who remain behind the network support some of caves, most vulnerable and non con, joined the group. as they made their daily rounds,
4:18 pm
it might not look like it, but these people are providing a vital service without any external funding. anya and her friends deliver groceries and basic goods to some of the most vulnerable and keep some of the goods are donated. but most a paid for by the volunteers themselves. long to who i always wanted to learn and tear and work. i don't have grandparents. so this house you can say to her that it really comes from my heart. maria rarely leaves the house. she's too frail to make the journey. and the elevator in her building is best described as temperamental. she stayed in the city because she says she has no family to go to. without the volunteers, i should be completely alone and hungry and thirsty won't gentlemen. i was in hospital, his heart problems and my daughter died recently. i have a niece who could help mad public transport this child, so she can't get here. oh, he's right now i don't need anything because then brought me things. but this won't
4:19 pm
last long. all the volunteers work under the umbrella of an organization called love life which existed before the war to help the homeless and vulnerable. now is one of the only organisations of his kind in ukraine still operating and demand for its services for outstrips its capacity to cope, the organization has changed the way operates. it identifies the most vulnerable people and post them on a private social media channel volunteers and make the deliveries navigating the cities, many checkpoints, and anti tank barricades. and it's not just home delivery, kitchens and roadside kiosa also become a frontline of sorts in the war effort. most of the restaurants across the city are shut, but the kitchens are open and the sheriffs are working. now they might not be making their usual cuisines. what they're doing is they're making home style cuisines that then volunteers pick up and bring to distribution points like these. and it is
4:20 pm
a lifeline for many. this might be the one hot meal that they get a day american out 0 give now unclear of dozens of babies born to surrogates awaiting, to be picked up from a makeshift nursery. their parents are either unable to travel or not willing to risk the journey. the babies are sheltering in a basement. they need constant cans, since many nurses cannot return to their destroyed homes, they sleep and work their north. we have very well equipped rooms to provide comfort for children. it is everything for them to be safe in for them to be taken care of. but know we are staying here in this basement to preserve errors and the babies lives. we are hating here from the bombing and this horrible misery to put home. and joining us from london is sam everett m, the founder of growing families, which helps families through surrogacy,
4:21 pm
the surrogacy process. good to have you with us. so from what you're able to gather about what's going on in care of right now is any help reaching those babies in those nurses looking off the kind of conditions might they be facing? look, look, it's very hard. i mean, we have what hospitals running out of formula and bottles and diapers, nappies for the children. we are working with in diaz on the polish border to bring in supplies. we're also bringing in many to help evacuate those newborns to board us, but it does require a good deal of paperwork and support. maintenance is many of those items the start of the country and we have babies coming every day. newborn. some of them went intensive care units and coordinating the evacuation of these children is a major undertaking, travel, and to staff and share partners that, that segue and was going to ask you, which is we've seen evacuations going on. and these humanitarian corridors to your
4:22 pm
knowledge, have any of those evacuation operations included. some of these are, babies. are they getting involved in? i are getting out look slowly, you know, we've been involved in soil for those of actual issues of babies in the last week. some of them, so you try national for french in our national babies. i got, but it's painfully slow. crisis recalling a lot of coordination. mostly we go into a polish border, taking the baby to live in the parents to come to live and making them there. it does require most parents to enter the country to do this, but with doing it one by one, some of these babies a special needs, some of them conic paperwork right now, are you worried about a situation in which at least some of these babies may not be able to be reunited or united with their parents and what happens in, in that situation look when a very wide number of into any parents who are constant with this are get worried
4:23 pm
to death. of course, we are worried for the safety of these babies. many agencies are still having burst, a certain kid and logistical babies out is uncertain from day to day, particularly the ones who have been born early and intensive care what we have to medically evacuate them. it's really difficult, but we were covering plating with parents. so i patient wasn't suitcases one by one, but we have a hundreds of people come to us for support over the recent wakes might be surprising for some people to learn about this sort of issue in ukraine. how much of a center was key in ukraine for our goods pregnancies before the war? look, it was an enormous destination. the 2nd most common places foreigners went to saga seats, given it is 125 countries for supported most in this area. so we're talking about a 1000 babies. will 1000 pregnancy on going right now. and you're trying facade
4:24 pm
groups, you know, involving nationals from 3040 different countries around the world. so this is have, having a major impact on many, many countries, pretty families and government. now a scrambling to come up with make sure the mission is to provide the type of work to get these babies home in the absence of birth certificates. all right. wish you good luck with helping those babies. thanks so much. thanks for your time. and the war in ukraine is full, nearly 18000 medical students to return home to india. they fill the fall rather a petition in the supreme court, asking the government to allow their transfer to indian colleges. the students appliances highlighted in the lack of medical colleges as elizabeth for all of it explains from pradesh. when you get in, are you good in women and children? watch on sharma shows videos of him and his fellow students fleeing the russian bombing of car cave. the 20 year old was in his 1st year of medical school in the east,
4:25 pm
in ukrainian city. he's one of nearly 800000 indian medical students evacuated from ukraine since the russian invasion began molest in, in the apartment. plenty of beg him and government all passed the entrance exam last year, but i didn't have enough marks to go to government college here because they cut off for climates of very high. so the better option for me was to go overseas with michael shanks just as monica an entre. but he said they were forced to study overseas with fees a much cheaper their families says they're paying half the amount of fees in ukraine than they would. and private colleges in india, online classes have begun for the sisters and some others. but they're not ideal or lame when it go on yankee. and the problem with online is that we need a lot of practical experience, which we aren't able to do. we are a 3rd year student and practical is very important and the 3rd year. so it's difficult. the return of the students from ukraine is again putting the spotlight
4:26 pm
on the lack of medical colleges in india. the number of seats available for medical education in india is foreign, less to the number of students who leave school with the hope of becoming doctors or the 1600000. who did the entrance exam last year on the 88000 and made it into the 562 medical colleges from the country. given the shortage private colleges charge, hefty fees for the much sought after spaces and receive large donations from students, families, public health experts, blame and lack of government investment and health care. and what they call the medical council of india's arbitrary regulations to set up colleges. but the, it was a bona fide the intent to protect standards, as they said over there, it was to protect some interests of people who are running private medical colleges . i cannot really say, however, that did result in
4:27 pm
a smaller number of medical colleges and also clustering of medical colleges in the 4th southern states and to west and indian states. prime minister that ends morty, blamed previous governments for the lack of colleges and said his administration will increase the number. as students who returned from ukraine appealed to the government to find a way for them to continue their studies at home. some health experts say it's an ideal opportunity for india to tackle the dr. shortage. elizabeth per item al jazeera, great, a noise like why it's time to get the weather now with everson. hello, we're still hanging on to that cool wintery weather across northern parts of the middle east specter farther south. it is warming up. it's drying up quite nicely. pretty nice celsius here in dough high with the next couple of days. i came to mar, wind easing off, so we'll feel quite pleasant, such as some showers. so maybe one or 2 wintry showers. northern parts of iraq, northern parts of syria, just spilling out of turkey, cold enough,
4:28 pm
just around the levant, eastern side of the mediterranean. quite a keen wind blowing in here, so a real chill in the air still in place over the next couple of days. for tuesday, you can see that winter weather spilling after syria across northern parts of iran . elsewhere it's generally dry and 530 celsius in doha, by that stage. nowhere near that across all the parts of africa cause with a key, northerly wind, showers, there across the far north. egypt, libya, shanicea, algeria, william parson morocco, seeing some heavy showers and still some showers there in to southern parts of west africa as they should be, because the seasonal rays are of course now making their way further north was that line of heavy showers running right out of the democratic republic of congo through zambia and northern parts of mozambique, southern areas of tanzania, some very heavy rain too. with the possibility of flooding for northern madagascar . marcella had on this news out to seek 1st stay in prison. who is to
4:29 pm
release the former president, jail for murder and corruption, bridging the political and cultural divide and exhibition version asked in new york office and inside the modern day around. and it was one of my biggest names suffers a concussion of this crash and indonesia. and i will be here with that story. ah, argentina's was life is being jeopardized by industrialized agriculture and uncontrolled cattle grazing to reasonable takes you on a journey into the better national park to explore what's been done to protect nature and meet some of those determined to work on. we one with the knowledge in tina, talk to al jazeera in the field. the heart wrenching good buys loved ones, not knowing when they will unite again. women and children heading west to relative
4:30 pm
safety, often leaving been behind among them. foreigners also trying to give out train rise of a free, but it's on a 1st come, 1st serve basis here at the bus station. there's only a few rides available and that's only to the surrounding villages. so people like for me in rose, now need to find another way to get out of the city. but for now they, like many others, would have to reach and hope, hoping tomorrow is a better day. ah ah, well, come back here watching al jazeera time to recap our headlines now. bratia has increased
4:31 pm
its attacks on mario bold, ukrainian president, law, the minister lensky as accusing russian troops of committing war crimes. peeve says moscow has talked to the school where hundreds of taking shelter officials in mother you called say more than 39000 people flight in the past week. bratia sees the city is vital to the success of its invasion. russia says its use hypersonic missiles to attack ukraine for a 2nd day. spokesman for the ministry of defense as military targets were hit. you k prime minister bars, johnson has been criticized for comparing ukraine's fight against russian invasion . the people voting for brags it. he told the conservative party conference, the british had an instinct for choosing freedom every time, like ukrainians. malice comments have been described as tasteless. i can give you a couple of famous recent examples. when the british people voted for breaks it in
4:32 pm
such long, large numbers, i believe they will remotely hostile to the foreigners. it's because they wanted to be free to do things differently. and for this country to be able to run itself or a challenge is in london, sorority, what kind of blow back is the prime minister getting for those words? what obviously he was trying to rally the parties faithful behind his pro, bricks at message, but it hasn't really worked out way for us. johnson, many couldn't quite believe there is. i think when they heard his comment, lots of people have said that this was a crass thing to say that these 2 things breakfast and ukraine's existential fights for italian survival just shouldn't be compared with each other. one, as i said, is the effort to resist the onslaught of a invading or an army. breakfast, on the other hand, was
4:33 pm
a peaceful referendum and a technical bureaucratic process to access from a trading block. also, many people pointed out that ukraine is actually in the process of the man to try to join the e. u. not leave it like britain, that the outrage has come, mainly as you would expect from the normal circles. people who are boris johnson's political enemies. his at the threes in europe, people like donald tusk. a politician also gave a hoss that, but it has also come from parts of the conservative party itself. grandees like lord heseltine have spoken out against what bar us johnson has said, would it make a difference? will it hurt the conservative party? will it for a strong sense? well, the conservatives have been languishing in the polls behind labor for some time now . they are being hammered by problems like
4:34 pm
a party gate scandal. the cost of living crisis that is supposed to break the dividends that they promised voters which hadn't yet arrived. so this gaff by comparison is probably quite small. it's not going to necessarily hurt them any further in the, in the run up to local elections and maybe i don't think it's going to really help me that. and that was really challenge. thanks for that. to all the news. now somalia is suffering, it's worth drought in 40 years. more than half a 1000000 people have left their homes to seek food and water because they live stock of died and unable to grow crops. malcolm webb met some who arrived that account for displaced, feeble margaret issue. the kia hussein amid says when she planted her last handful of seeds on a farm. rain never came with no food left, she started to make her way here. somali as capital margaret issue with her 4 children, their journey began on the back of
4:35 pm
a truck. then things got worse. not about the truck driver said, this is my last stop. you can continue on your own to mortgage issue. we sat down under a tree, my 2 babies were in bad condition because of hunger and thirst. then all of the sudden i found they had white eyes. they had died. there was a lady living there who helped me to bury them by the roadside raquira and her 2 surviving children are among a rapidly growing number of people who are now staying in camps like this on the outskirts of the city. most of the people here walked for more than a week to get here, the caird, whatever they could, top orleans and sheets, that's what they've made, that shelters out of the more than a 1000 people living in this settlement. and all of these shelters have sprung up within the last 4 weeks, where they've come from the situations been deteriorating in the humanitarian agency. say it's about to get much. most of them have come from the southern part
4:36 pm
of somalia, where they depended on farming and hurting livestock. until the last 3 rainy seasons failed. crops, withered and animals died. here they surviving on one meal a day. how are mohammed osmond with one of the 1st to arrive? she's a community leader. she's been trying to find help with little success. holla, how can that guy see him? the situation around here is extremely difficult. people are hungry and in poor house. people don't even have shelter every time a car passes here, people think that somebody is coming to give them food. it's a similar story. all around the outskirts of mogadishu. the un says more than 60000 people have arrived here in the last 4 months. and across the country, more than half a 1000000 people have been displaced by the drought. humanitarian organizations say they only have 3 percent of the funds needed to help them. the solution is for
4:37 pm
everyone to act fast. we need more fun. we need more attention to the drought. we need support from the donor agencies from donor countries. at to the so many people, that's what we need now. meanwhile, somali as government is entangled in an ongoing and fraught electoral process, much of the world's attention is focused on the war in ukraine. people here have been left destitute there, waiting and wondering if anyone will come to help. malcolm web, al jazeera, mogadishu, somalia, on adam adam walla is the un devotees, special representative of the secretary general for somalia. he joined us live for margaret issue. good to have you with us. what do you make of this situation? is the problem that there is a lack of international appetite to help people in somalia because people,
4:38 pm
the world is distracted with ukraine. well, even before you create in the world, attention shifted away from somalia. the world was focusing on the to get a crisis. and before that and of course the human in the background. so we have seen over the past year that somalia was gradually being pushed to the back burner. and that is extremely worrying given how they are. the situation here on the ground is just our report showed the sort of situation which some somalis are facing with traveling with literally nothing and their babies dying on the way won't do. agencies need the most right now just to keep people alive. yeah. just because i'm getting to that,
4:39 pm
let me just highlight that this is a culmination of so many concurrent disasters. the case of conflict, recurrent climate shows, disease outbreaks and why the spirit of the have all combined to create the spirit. perfectly storm that we are missing at the moment. so this is not the usual cycle of weather patterns and cycle of drought, right? you're saying this is something more than what one would usually see with changing weather yes, the, the frequency of this dilemma shops of floods hundreds has increased 3 fall over the past 2 decades. compared to previous ones is one was another one. ok? and then you will have both the flood and the senior that out this years out is exceptionally
4:40 pm
