. they're going to get, it's a james place, has more some of this preparatory work because we've actually got their bosses coming in later in the week. we have all of the heads of state and all of the nate nature of state and government coming here on thursday, president biden making a trip to europe. and i think they'll be showing us show of unity and also thinking what else can they do and particularly on the issue of sanctions. that's a difficult one. now for the european union, they surprised everyone i think by the stringent nature, the sanction some of the toughest sanctions they've ever put in place. but they've got to the point, i think, where they going to find it hard to go any further and find consensus to go any further. and particularly there's a disagreement on energy on cutting, rushes, oil and gas imports into europe. europe relies, the you about 40 percent of its energy comes from russia. that would be a very big move,

but it's opposed by some countries. notably germany is among those countries. so talk about sanctions again, and maybe they will find some of the loopholes that might be there in the existing sanctions and put in another package of sanctions. but i don't think it's good to go as far as the ukrainians want and deal with the energy sector. ahead on just a sri lankan parliament prepared to vote on major changes to the countries controversial security rules. and as mexico cities new mega airport opens, its stores will tell you why the project has been slow to take off. ah, here's your weather in a minute 15 and we're going to be in, in the middle east. we're plenty of sun, really. the name of the game here and high temperature is, will go in for

a closer look around the golf. and we're talking about temperatures in the thirty's, not just on tuesday. i'll put this for it. we'll put the colors on dark, the red, the higher the temperature low to mid thirties by thursday we take a look at the forecast for re add. we know what goes up must come down. those wind shift from southerly to northeast and that's going to kick down the temperature to $23.00 degrees. there's also been high heat for areas of pakistan. we've got temperatures in the forty's here are 344, karachi, and 30 is lum. about cooler air though, can certainly be found not only in the levant, but we've got this northerly wind cutting across the black sea, the boss 1st rate through into the g a. and so estoppel, just 9 degrees here and we'll see those winds crank up to about 45 kilometers per hour on tuesday. now for central africa, you know, we had seen some flooding for eastern portions of the democratic republic of congo, but now there's concern for western areas. and off to southern africa, we go out, we can see some rain falling across. so western portions of madagascar, but it's

ah, well again, you're watching, i just need a reminder of our top stories. russia says the shopping mall, it struck in ukraine's capital was being used to store and launch rockets. at least 8. 8 people were killed the city now onto another curfew, as it fears more shelling russian troops at 5 warning shots and tig asset protesters in cats on it was the 1st major city to come on to russian control ukraine's president. what a demons! lensky has hailed the courage of those in the crowds. european union officials are considering imposing tougher sanctions on russia. you foreign policy chief, accusing russia of committing war crimes in ukraine's besieged city of matter. you book the u. s. president is wanting of

a possible cyber attack from russia. joe biden is urging american businesses to boost their defenses. the magnitude of russia cyber capacity is fairly consequential and it's coming. federal government is during this part to get ready . and, but under u. s. law, as you all remember, the private sector, all of you largely decide the protections that is where you will or will not take in order to protect your sources. but let me be absolutely clear about something is not just and you're interested, or state or potential use of cyber security. it is the national inches thick. a russian court has ban social media platforms, facebook and instagram off the calling that parent company, an extremist organization. that's off the metal, relaxed its rules on call, so violence against russian soldiers. the company says it made allowances for political expression in light of the ukraine war through lancaster. parliament

will vote on changes to controversial security rules. the law called the prevention of terrorism act was imposed in 1979. it allowed security forces to attain suspects without trial and 4 convictions based only on confessions. critics that critics claim the law has been used to stifle dissent and crush opposition and help. when l fernandez is life was in colombo with more on this so many, what are the proposed changes then to this law and how significant other since the 1st time of is in 43 years that any changes to the p t or the prevention of terrorism. act are being envisioned and brought in by the government. now in terms of some of the key changers and some of those problem areas that did a sort of bring up the concerns of human rights defenders. international community

rights activists is that when a suspect is taken in under the prevention of terrorism act, it gives a lot of powers to the detaining authorities to have that person under detention order. so by signature of the defense minister. and that essentially was allowed up to 18 months. bear in mind that that is not under sort of strict judicial custody. are this the changers reduce that period to 12 months, which means it after this period that they would have to be presented before a magistrate, the magistrate would then have to look at the case and remind them so in remind prison. so that's a key thing because this period from detention to actually being submitted before a magistrate is a key period according to human rights activists where they say, you know, allegations of torture. 2 forced confessions, all of that comes in during that critical period. so that is something again,

the issue of confessions is very much a slippery slope. and those are some of the key issues of these changes that the government has been pushed and pressurized to make. i had a how to human rights groups, see these amendments them one review of the amendment bill actually cause the changes largely cosmetic and being done just for the purposes oh, appeasing the international community. bear in mind that the government had been talking about bringing changes to the p d. f for a long, long time. they've been under pressure literally since the end of the conflict in 2009. when we saw the p t being used widely against uniform of fighters and things like that, the international community, the united nations, has very much kept it in the forefront asking the sri lankan government or to repeal if not to amend the act. so the human rights activist said does not go far

enough. now obviously the minister of foreign affairs of his job, it is who presented the bill of the amendment. bill said that there are substantive improvements that bring major changes to the existing law. but human rights defenders say that the actual problematic errors detention on the deal is still allowed for 12 months before judicial supervision. and there is a far way to go. there is a campaign to repeal the p d a now. all right, michelle, thank you michelle. fernandez, live 1st there in colombo, the chinese stay media says no survivors have been found in the wreckage of a plane that crashed with a 132 people on board. the commercial flight went down in china, southern grangee province. katrina, you reports. none of them ow newkirk footage. verified by chinese state media shows the aircraft, nose diving to the ground in the remote southern province of gong sheet. the passenger plane operated by china. eastern airlines departed from the city of

a very reliable aircraft. and it's, it's quite a amazing story that of an aircraft and crash on a new out fly. the boeing 77800, is a predecessor of the 737, max and model that has been banned from commercial use in china after 2 crashes within months that killed 346 people in indonesia and ethiopia. the crash is china's worst aviation disaster in years. it safety record has been among the best in the world for a decade. though experts have questioned the reporting of safety lapses. china, eastern airlines says it's mourning the loss of doors on board and has grounded all of its boeing 77800 aircraft until further notice. katrina, you are the 0 dating. are you own human rights investigator is urging north korea to lift its pandemic water restrictions because people are facing starvation

a serious point of contention long before it opened on monday. mostly because president under his manuel lopez opened a door, cancelled this $13000000000.00 mega airport. a 3rd of the way for construction to build felipe and his instead. he said that project undertaken by the previous administration was riddled with corruption essay. now he's built his own. he arrived on monday, feeling vindicated. mariel game. and i said as a, as a sadness. i love because when i said that on the 21st of march, the input would be ready. our visit. he said it wouldn't be possible. lopez abra, those apple is cheaper than the scrap one, but it's also smaller it lonely. working combination with the other already overcrowded old one and it's far from the capital. it serves have

a look at the distances from our office in the center, his the existing apple than the one the president scrapped than his new one. and worse, the transport links to get the um finished. you can see that the motor that ship mean that people can get to the airport make quicker, is still under construction. there's also going to be a light trying to ferry passengers there without isn't finished yet either, and apparently will be at some point next year. so this is still very much a project that's under construction. meanwhile, that means travel times more than 2 hours from the center in traffic. some rules are worried about who built and who will partly run the apple, the army. they're involved in almost all this governments mega projects and have a lot of influence with the president's many funds. that's what's the launch we're just as exuberant as he was. i try to put up a ha, it's a 1st class airport. i know a lot of them,

degrees higher than normal in some places over the weekend. at a time, the continent is actually meant to be calling. on the other end of the a, temperatures at the arctic were 30 degrees above normal. the region is only meant to be slowly emerging from it's winter. now a dr. johnson will is a post doctoral researcher at the university, grenoble outs, in france, studying polio polar meteorology. he says, it's too early to say if these extreme events are a sign of things to come. the extreme temperature bears in the arctic and the ants arctic. they both can be sort of attributed to what we call a mr river. that is a cord or air is very warm and was transported from the lower lad shoots, for we live city and highlands and the case of the antarctic. the events was much more intense than what was observed in the arctic. the events occurred on the

march 15th when the scriver made landfall in easton, arctica from there the moisture was transported on further into the continent. and that's when we start observing that freakishly larger, 40 degree temperature anomaly. and these events do fit into a broader patter and extreme events that we didn't think were possible until they well just happens, especially in the case of the antarctic. this was something that kind of changes the way we think of the sort of climate. now, our human history of observing that whether it's arctic is limited. so it's difficult to say whether this is a sign of things to come, or just a rather freakish events that just will be very interesting for a sciences to study, going into the future. ah, this is edge the, let's get around now the top stories,
